Tommy La Stella News
San Francisco Giants second/third baseman Tommy La Stella (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring sprain. La Stella exited Sunday's game against the Padres and got an MRI on Monday, after which manager Gabe Kapler said he expected La Stella to go on the IL. The veteran is slashing just .235/.297/.353 to start the season. Jason Vosler, who had a great spring, was recalled from the Giants alternate training site in a corresponding move.
San Francisco Giants second baseman Tommy La Stella (hamstring) suffered multiple injuries in Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. He jammed his hand on a diving play early in the game, but stayed in. Then, in the fifth inning, he limped off the field after aggravating his hamstring while scoring a run. He was taken out and replaced by Evan Longoria. After the game, Giants manager Gabe Kapler said, "I'm concerned about it. Obviously he didn't look good coming off the field." The Giants are already without Donovan Solano (calf) and it sounds like La Stella could be headed for a stint on the injured list as well. If that indeed ends up being the case, Mauricio Dubon and Wilmer Flores would both likely see a small uptick in playing time.
San Francisco Giants second baseman Tommy La Stella launched his first homer of the year on Tuesday, finishing 1-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in the win over the Phillies. While 2020 was by no means a bad year for La Stella, he is looking close to his 2019 All-Star self early on with a .294/.368/.471 triple-slash line and a 4:4 K:BB ratio through 15 games. He's a good second baseman to have in OBP formats and NL-only leagues.

It took six major league seasons before San Francisco Giants journeyman infielderTommy La Stellafound his stroke. In 2019 in only 292 at-bats, La Stella hit .295 with 16 home runs and 44 RBI. Unfortunately, a leg injury ended his career year with the Angels. While he may never repeat his '19 production, there were a few gains which carried over into 2020 and should also continue in 2021. His contact rate skyrocketed. It jumped to 91% in 2019 and surged to 95% last year. His walk rate in 2020 of 12% was above his career average, and his ground-ball rate plummeted to just 40% (from 53% in 2018). While his upside is limited and everyday playing time won't be guaranteed, La Stella has a low probability of being a bust at his ADP. As a member of the Giants, consider La Stella as a middle infielder in deep mixed formats.
