Williamson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alec Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson was slashing just .161/.235/.258 in 10 games with the big club before being sent back to Sacramento. The 26-year-old will look to turn things around at Triple-A where he will likely remain one of the Giants' top options should they find themselves in need of another outfielder at some point this season. Orlando Calixte was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding roster move.

Williamson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The hulking right-handed slugger has hit .211/.287/.360 with a 28.2 percent strikeout rate in a limited 195 plate-appearance sampling in the big leagues over the past three years. He was optioned to make room for Orlando Calixte, who is leading off and playing left field after getting recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Williamson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson gave the Giants late life when he battled against Wade Davis for eight pitches before depositing a ball into the right field bleachers. The 25-year-old is batting just .182 in seven games since being called up to the majors, but Wednesday's opposite-field homer gave us a glimpse of the outfielder's raw power. He should receive a few more starts in right field while Hunter Pence (hamstring) rehabs from his injury.

Williamson is not in the lineup Monday against the Cubs, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson seems to have assumed the primary right field job while Hunter Pence (hamstring) is sidelined, but after his fourth-straight hitless performance, the 26-year-old will head to the bench for a night off. Justin Ruggiano will take over in right field for the evening.

Williamson will start in right field and bat eighth Sunday against the Cardinals, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Hunter Pence (hamstring) still on the disabled list and not expected to return until next weekend at the earliest, Williamson, who was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento last week, has taken over as the Giants' everyday right fielder. With three hits in 16 at-bats, Williamson hasn't done much to warrant an immediate pickup outside of NL-only leagues, but he's shown some power upside in the minors that could make him someone worth monitoring in the short term.

Williamson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old had a solid debut to the 2017 season after spending most of it on the disabled list. Despite both his hits being singles, Williamson possesses some power in his bat, as evidenced by both hits coming off of his bat at 106-plus mph. He is currently receiving roughly a 10-day trial while Hunter Pence (hamstring) is on the disabled list, but there is a chance the outfielder could play his way into a regular role if he can produce for a struggling Giants offense.

Williamson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson will finally get his shot with the Giants this season after losing out on the starting left field job in spring training due to a quadriceps injury. He'll take the roster spot of Hunter Pence, who was recently placed on the disabled list. Williamson was slashing .266/.333/.430 with three homers before being recalled. Him and Gorkys Hernandez are candidates to temporarily fill in for Pence in right field.

Williamson has homered in two consecutive games with Triple-A Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has been heating up at the plate this month, delivering three multi-hit performances with two homers and five RBI in seven May games. After losing a spring training battle for the Giants' starting left field position due to a quadriceps injury, Williamson has been rehabbing with Triple-A Sacramento dating back to April 19. With San Francisco struggling to score runs this season, the slugging outfielder could receive a call to the majors sooner rather than later.

Williamson (quadriceps) went 1-for-3 in a rehab game with High-A San Jose on Wednesday and will move to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old lost the starting left field battle in spring training to Jarrett Parker after suffering an ill-timed quadriceps injury. With Parker (shoulder) out of the picture and the rest of the Giants' left field options struggling mightily, Williamson could find himself on a fast track to the majors as soon as he proves that he is healthy. Fellow left-field option, Mike Morse, is on an similar recovery timeline, so whichever player is deemed healthiest first will likely get the first crack at regular at-bats in the majors. Williamson is worth a flyer in deep leagues for some power potential, but standard-league owners can take a wait-and-see approach with the outfielder.

Williamson is set to begin a rehab assignment with High-A San Jose, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson has been out for since spring training with a quadriceps injury, though he finally appears ready to return to minor-league action. The 26-year-old remains without a timetable for return, but one should become available as he continues to progress through his rehab. It's unclear whether he'll return to the majors upon his activation, but it seems likely given the early season struggles of Jarrett Parker and Chris Marrero.
