Basabe signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Monday that includes an invite to major-league spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Basabe missed nearly four months last season due to a left wrist sprain, but he spent most of his time at Double-A Richmond when healthy, where he hit .206 with two homers, 12 runs, 10 RBI and five stolen bases in 22 games. While the 25-year-old will likely have a chance to spend time at Triple-A Charlotte in 2022, he shouldn't be a strong contender for a major-league roster spot to begin the year.

The Giants assigned Basabe (wrist) to Double-A Richmond on Wednesday after he concluded his rehab assignment with the team's rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate. The outfielder has gone 2-for-9 with a home run and two RBI through his first two games with Richmond.

EDGE Analysis

Basabe was sidelined for nearly four months with a sprained left wrist before he began a rehab assignment in the ACL on July 2. Though Basabe was initially expected to report to Triple-A Sacramento coming out of spring training, the wrist injury prompted the Giants to keep him at Richmond once his rehab assignment concluded. He could move up to Triple-A in short order with a few good performances at Double-A.

Basabe (wrist) has gone 4-for-10 with a double and two walks through the first five games of his rehab assignment with the Giants' Arizona Complex League affiliate, which he began July 2.

EDGE Analysis

Basabe was assigned to the Giants' minor-league camp in mid-March after he sustained a significant wrist sprain that ended his long-shot bid for a reserve outfield spot on San Francisco's Opening Day roster. The 24-year-old is eventually expected to settle at Triple-A Sacramento once he gets a clean bill of health, but the Giants will first let him build up in the lower levels of the minors as he looks to make up for the lost time.

EDGE Analysis

Basabe was ruled out for 6-to-8 weeks after suffering a significant left wrist sprain in a March 9 Cactus League game against the Brewers, so the Giants' decision to include him in this round of roster cuts hardly comes as a surprise. He'll look to get back to full health in advance of the Triple-A season, which begins in May.

EDGE Analysis

Basabe was diagnosed with a left wrist muscle sprain after leaving Tuesday's spring game against the Brewers, and he'll have a lengthy recovery process before he's cleared to return. Once he's healthy, the 24-year-old will likely head to the minors.

EDGE Analysis

Basabe looks to be healthy heading into 2021 after he was placed on the Giants' injured list last September due to a right hamstring strain. He'll be active for the second straight day after serving as a backup center fielder in Sunday's Cactus League opener against the Angels. He struck out in his lone plate appearance in that contest.

EDGE Analysis

Basabe was designated for assignment by the Giants last week, and he'll remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. After making his major-league debut in 2020, the 24-year-old should compete for a spot in the big leagues once again in 2021.
