Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Baltimore, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely has logged a base hit in each of his last two games, but his .517 OPS over the last seven days will send him to the bench Saturday. Casey Schmitt will start at second base instead, allowing Brandon Crawford to start at short and bat ninth.

Wisely is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting rookie has been serving as the primary replacement at second base for the injured Thairo Estrada (wrist) of late, but he'll take a seat for the series opener with Pittsburgh bringing southpaw Rich Hill to the mound. Casey Schmitt will check in for Wisely at the keystone.

Wisely will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Brewers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
For the sixth time in seven games, Wisely will be manning second base, and he looks like he'll have some leash as the Giants' main option at the position after Thairo Estrada (wrist) was moved to the injured list Saturday. The lefty-hitting Wisely could find himself on the bench against select southpaws, though he appears poised to remain at least a strong-side platoon player while Estrada is on the shelf.

Wisely went 2-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 15-1 rout of the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
He took Freddy Peralta deep in the third inning as part of a seven-run frame for the Giants. Wisely's only other homer this season came May 6, but his .240/.269/.420 slash line on the month is a step up from his seasonal numbers, and the 24-year-old utility player could pick up more playing time at the keystone if Thairo Estrada's sore wrist becomes a bigger issue.

Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely has been handling a near-everyday role for most of May while bouncing between second base and center field, but his time as a regular in the San Francisco lineup looks to be over now that the Giants have recently welcomed Brandon Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski back from the injured list. The rookie will be on the bench for the third game in a row Wednesday.

Wisely is out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Phillies, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely will get a day of rest to open the series against the Phillies after going hitless in the three games against the Diamondbacks over eight at-bats. Casey Schmitt is starting at second base for the first time in his MLB career with Bryce Johnson hitting ninth and playing center field.

Wisely went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely gave the Giants some insurance with his seventh-inning solo shot, which was his first big-league homer. He's hit safely in consecutive games for the first time as well, though he's still slashing an ugly .100/.129/.200 with two RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases through 32 plate appearances.

Wisely went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely has gotten into six games since he was added to the roster first for the Mexico Series and then as an injury replacement for Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring). His hit Friday was his first in that span, and a 1:4 BB:K is far from impressive, but he was able to notch his first two major-league steals. The utility man is batting .074 with one RBI and one run scored over 29 plate appearances while hitting near the bottom of the order when he draws into the lineup.

Wisely is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Astros, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-6 while starting the first two games of the series, Wisely will head to the bench as the Giants face off with left-hander Framber Valdez on Wednesday. Austin Slater will replace him in center field and bat first in the series finale with Houston.

San Francisco recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wisely was actually already with the big club after serving as the 27th man for its two-game series with the Padres in Mexico City over the weekend, but he'll now remain a member of the 26-man active roster after Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. While Yastrzemski is on the shelf, the lefty-hitting Wisely could end up handling the strong side of a platoon in center field with the righty-hitting Austin Slater. Wisely will start in center and bat ninth in Monday's series opener in Houston, according to Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com.
