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.

Bailey is absent from the lineup Thursday against the Rockies due to neck tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey was supposed to start behind the plate in the Giants' series finale at Coors Field, but Blake Sabol has been pressed into duty instead. It's considered a minor issue and Bailey could be available off the bench.

Bailey went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one triple, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey took advantage of the Colorado air to pummel some extra-base hits. The catcher has logged four multi-hit efforts over his last nine contests, and he continues to see regular playing time behind the dish. He's also struck out 11 times over his last six games, and he's at a 31.6 percent strikeout rate on the year. Bailey has added a strong .309/.321/.545 slash line with two home runs, 13 RBI, six runs scored, five doubles and a triple in 15 games. It's unclear if Bailey's shown enough to stay in the majors once Joey Bart (groin) is activated from the injured list.

Bailey went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey knocked a two-run double in the second inning before capping off his day with a two-run shot in the seventh. The rookie catcher has collected seven hits and seven RBI over his last three games. After posting a .777 OPS through 28 minor-league appearances, Bailey is slashing .355/.375/.645 with five extra-base hits in 33 MLB plate appearances.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey will get a day of rest after starting the first three games of the series against Milwaukee. Blake Sabol will handle catching duties Sunday while Bailey sits.

Bailey went 4-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Friday's 15-1 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey hit safely in four of the first five games in which he recorded an at-bat. He was able to enjoy his first big game Friday in the blowout win. Bailey's seeing consistent playing time, and he's done well with it, logging three extra-base hits and seven RBI while batting. 364 through 24 plate appearances.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey will get a breather for the series finale after he started behind the plate in each of the Giants' last four games while going 3-for-13 with a home run, a walk and three RBI. Though Blake Sabol will draw the nod at catcher Wednesday, Bailey appears set to receive a look as the Giants' primary backstop until Joey Bart (groin) is ready to return from the injured list.

Bailey went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey had four homers over 28 games at the top-two levels of the minors, and he showed off that power Sunday. He went yard in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1 in just his third major-league contest. The 23-year-old catcher also showed the ability to play small ball, making a productive out in the sixth to drive in another run. Bailey slashed just .196/.300/.333 in 14 contests with Triple-A Sacramento to begin the season, but he's now poised for a chance to share time with Blake Sabol behind the dish in the majors while Joey Bart heals from a groin injury.

Bailey had his contract selected by the Giants on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey will join the major-league roster after he spent 14 games with Triple-A Sacramento, struggling to a .196 average with two homers, four RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base over 51 at-bats. The 23-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut and he'll likely get that shot soon while operating as a reserve option behind Blake Sabol at catcher after Joey Bart (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.
