Wisely went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 7-2 extra-inning win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth, Wisely led off the 10th inning with a single that brought home the phantom runner and kicked off a five-run rally by the Giants. The 25-year-old utility player is batting .385 (5-for-13) since his promotion after producing a .311/.403/.487 slash line in 32 games for Triple-A Sacramento, and the door could be open for him to see more action at shortstop with Marco Luciano struggling to provide reliable defense.

Wisely went 2-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely's playing time has been sparse, but he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts and one RBI over his first five major-league games of the season. He got the start at shortstop Thursday and delivered with a multi-hit effort, as well as his first steal of the campaign. The utility man hit .175 with a .498 OPS, two home runs and two steals over 131 plate appearances in the majors last year. Wisely can cover the middle infield and all three outfield spots, but it's unlikely he comes anywhere near steady playing time in 2024.

Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old utilityman slashed .311/.403/.487 with four home runs, three steals and a 21:19 K:BB in 140 plate appearances in the Pacific Coast League. Wisely primarily played second base and center field at Triple-A while also picking up a couple starts at shortstop. The lefty hitter will be available off the bench while the Giants face off against southpaw Nick Lodolo on Saturday.

Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento by the Giants on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely was in the running for a bench role but is sent out after going 3-for-16 in nine spring contests. The 24-year-old will provide utility depth at Sacramento.

Wisely is in contention for games at shortstop, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely's likely best suited for a utility role if he breaks camp with the Giants, but shortstop is a thin position for the team. Marco Luciano is viewed as the favorite to start there, while Casey Schmitt, Tyler Fitzgerald and Thairo Estrada could also see action at shortstop. Wisely isn't likely to be a great fantasy option after slashing .175/.231/.267 across 131 plate appearances in 2023.

The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely came up from the minors on July 3 and has since slashed .132/.233/.158 across 43 plate appearances. He'll now attempt to get back on track in Triple-A while Brandon Crawford (knee) comes back from the injured list to fill Wisely's roster spot.

Wisely is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Wisely will see his streak of nine consecutive starts at the keystone come to an end while David Villar mans second base in his stead as the Giants face off against southpaw Tarik Skubal. At least until Brandon Crawford (knee) returns from the injured list, Wisely should have a clear path to everyday playing time versus right-handers, and he was even included in the lineup in Sunday's 6-1 loss against the Nationals and southpaw MacKenzie Gore.

Wisely will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Reds, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely appears to have overtaken Casey Schmitt as the Giants' preferred option at the keystone with Thairo Estrada (hand) on the shelf; Wisely has now picked up five starts at second base over the past six contests. The Giants will have room for both rookies in the infield Monday, however, as Schmitt will start at shortstop while the lefty-hitting Brandon Crawford exits the lineup against Reds southpaw Brandon Williamson.

Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely will take the roster spot of Thairo Estrada, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a fractured hand. Wisely provides the Giants with plenty of versatility, as he's drawn starts at second base, third, shortstop and in left and center field so far this season.

Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely will head back to Sacramento after Thairo Estrada (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Wisely appeared in 24 games after being called up from Triple-A on May 1, producing a .231 average with two homers, four doubles, six RBI, five runs and two stolen bases over 65 at-bats over those contests. The 24-year-old has the ability to play both in the infield and outfield and will likely return to the major-league roster again later this summer.
