Darin Ruf Stats

The San Francisco Giants reinstated first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf from the bereavement list on Tuesday. He was away from the team last week following his father's death, but returned to the team on Tuesday. Jason Vosler optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Ruf isn't in the starting lineup but will be available off the bench. The 35-year-old is slashing .219/.346/.311 with three home runs, 17 RBI, and two stolen bases over 182 plate appearances in 2022. Ruf is mainly an option in deep-league formats now that he's returned to action.

The San Francisco Giants placed outfielder Darin Ruf on the bereavement list on Tuesday. He has travelled to Nebraska to be with his family following the passing of his father. Giants manager Gabe Kapler stated that the team wants Ruf to take all the time he needs before he returns to the team (a player can remain on the bereavement list for up to seven days). To fill Ruf's roster spot, the Giants called up fellow outfielder Heliot Ramos. Ramos will be batting seventh and playing right field in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He's an intriguing prospect, but he likely won't be with the team very long. He was called up for his MLB debut earlier this year in mid-April, but lasted just four days before being sent back to Triple-A.

The San Francisco Giants and first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf agreed to a two-year, $6.25 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to sources. The deal includes a third-year club option. The extension buys out Ruf's final two years of arbitration and potentially one free-agent season. In his second year with the Giants in 2021, the 35-year-old hit .271/.385/.519 with a career-high 16 home runs, 43 RBI and 41 runs scored in 312 plate appearances over 117 games. Ruf hit a respectable .276/.370/.517 in 40 games for San Francisco in 2020, too, but his fantasy value is capped on the short side of a platoon at first base and in the outfield for the Giants.
