LaMonte Wade Jr. Stats

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (thumb) was removed from Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins in the ninth inning after jamming his thumb. Before his exit, he was 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, helping his team to a 4-1 victory. According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, manager Gabe Kapler told reporters after the game that it doesn't look like a serious injury, and the move was just a precaution. Wade Jr. is putting up solid numbers for the Giants, slashing .252/.421/.465 with seven homers, 22 runs, 15 RBI, and one steal across 45 games. Fantasy managers should consider the 29-year-old day-to-day, and chances are, he misses the injured list.

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. is taking a seat on the bench Sunday for the matchup with the Miami Marlins. The lefty swinger has been solid with the bat, slashing .260/.428/.480 with seven bombs, 21 runs, 15 RBI, and one steal across 43 games. Wade Jr. isn't in a platoon, but it's a good time to give him a day off with southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the bump, considering his .222 average off of lefties. Wilmer Flores will be responsible for first base duties and bat lead-off instead. The 31-year-old has continued his underrated production this year, hitting .248 with six long balls through 35 contests. Flores kills left-handed pitching, exhibited by his .876 OPS, so it's a perfect time to stream the former New York Met.

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. stayed hot in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Houston Astros by going 2-for-3 with his sixth home run of the season, an RBI, two runs scored and a walk. Wade is currently riding a modest six-game hitting streak that has brought his season slash line up to .260/.443/.575 with an impressive 1.019 OPS. He's also added three doubles, one triple, six home runs, nine RBI, a stolen base and 12 runs scored in 98 plate appearances over his 26 games to begin the 2023 campaign. Keep riding the 29-year-old's left-handed bat, especially when he's hitting at the top of San Fran's batting order against right-handed pitching.
