Darin Ruf Stats

The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder/first baseman Darin Ruf (oblique) and starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) from the injured list on Thursday. Ruf is starting in left field and batting second in Thursday's game against Madison Bumgarner and the Arizona Diamondbacks. He should see a good amount of playing time over the last stretch of the season as the team is dealing with a number of injuries. Cueto, meanwhile, is expected to work in a relief role for the rest of the year and likely in the playoffs as well. The Giants also sent relief pitcher Tony Watson (shoulder) to the injured list on Thursday.

The San Francisco Giants placed first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He is dealing with a right oblique strain. The move is retroactive to September 20. The Giants activated outfielder Alex Dickerson (hamstring) from the injured list in a corresponding move. Dickerson will likely platoon with LaMonte Wade Jr. in the outfield going forward. Ruf has only been seeing a few starts per week lately. He's slashed .239/.340/.391 so far in September. Wilmer Flores will be the backup first baseman behind Brandon Belt with Ruf sidelined.

San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf had a huge game at the plate in Monday's 10-5 win over the Rockies, going 2-for-4 with a triple, a leadoff home run, three RBI, and a walk. The veteran hasn't seen consistent playing time but does have a solid .280/.403/.547 slash line with 15 HR and 40 RBI over 273 plate appearances this season. He could be worth a look in deep leagues given how well he has performed when he has played.
