Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey will get a breather after he started behind the plate in each of the Giants' previous six games. Blake Sabol is catching for opening pitcher Scott Alexander in the series finale.

Bailey will be on the bench Saturday against the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey burst onto the scene with a .904 OPS in his first 33 games, but he's hit a wall since the start of July. In 14 games this month, he's hitting .125/.176/.167 with 17 strikeouts and just one walk. Blake Sabol starts behind the plate for the fourth time in nine games since the All-Star break.

Bailey went 1-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey was effective on both sides of the stolen-base equation Friday, as he also threw out Tucupita Marcano in the third inning. Bailey's theft was the first in his career, and as a catcher, he shouldn't be expected to run frequently. He's also slashing .290/.320/.483 with five home runs, 27 RBI, 15 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple over 41 contests, though he's hitting a light .167 in July.

Bailey went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's win against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey's eighth-inning shot gave the Giants the late lead. He's gone 11-for-29 (.379) with five extra-base hits and six RBI over his last eight games. The rookie catcher is now slashing .322/.347/.557 with five homers in 33 career MLB games.

Bailey went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 8-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey is off to a good start since getting called up to the big leagues May 19. The 2020 first-round pick is slashing .330/.361/.560 so far, and he is quickly proving to be a worthy fantasy option. His four total homers aren't eye-popping, but his contact hitting has been excellent, as he has hits in 10 of his 15 contests.

Bailey isn't starting Wednesday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey is 3-for-12 with three RBI across his last three games and will take a seat Wednesday. Blake Sabol will take over behind the dish and bat sixth.

Bailey is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey started the past five games and will receive a well-deserved day off Sunday. Blake Sabol will take over behind the plate and bat seventh.

Bailey went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-3 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

He launched a solo shot off Genesis Cabrera in the sixth inning, going back-to-back with Mike Yastrzemski to blow open what had been a 6-2 game. Bailey continues to solidify his hold on the Giants' starting job behind the plate, and since his promotion in mid-May he's slashing .323/.353/.585 through 70 plate appearances with three homers and 16 RBI. His 3:19 BB:K and .419 BABIP suggest there will be regression coming for his batting average, however -- which wouldn't be a shocking development for a 24-year-old who batted .225 in High-A only last year.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after returning from a neck injury Friday, but the Giants haven't disclosed whether a setback with the neck is what is keeping him on the bench. Whatever the case, Blake Sabol will get the start behind the plate Sunday and hit eighth in Bailey's absence.

Bailey (neck) is starting behind the plate Friday against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neck tightness kept Bailey out of the lineup Thursday, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Friday's contest. The 24-year-old backstop has been on a tear since earning a promotion from Triple-A Sacramento, slashing .309/.321/.545 across 58 plate appearances.
