The 25-year-old has been sidelined since Aug. 18 due to an oblique strain, but he'll rejoin the active roster Thursday after being sidelined for the 10-day minimum. Bailey was slumping in August prior to the injury with a .057/.089/.075 slash line in 15 games, but he'll attempt to close the month strong now that he's healthy.

EDGE Analysis

There's been no word yet on Bailey's progress after he was placed on the IL Tuesday with a right oblique strain. However, he's eligible for activation on Aug. 29 and it would appear the expectation is he will be ready by that date or shortly after.

The Giants placed Bailey on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right oblique strain, retroactive to Aug. 19.

EDGE Analysis

After the team initially labeled Bailey's side injury as minor tightness, an MRI revealed Tuesday that the 25-year-old catcher suffered a strained oblique. Curt Casali will now take over as the Giants' primary catcher while Bailey is out, and Jakson Reetz will come up from Triple-A Sacramento to give the team some depth behind the plate.

Bailey (side) isn't in the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey was a late scratch from Monday's lineup due to right side tightness. While the Giants believe his injury is relatively minor, they'll send the 25-year-old backstop in for an MRI just to be safe, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. In the meantime, Curt Casali will start behind the plate and bat ninth Tuesday.

Bailey (side) stated after Monday's game against the White Sox that his removal from the starting lineup was precautionary, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This appears to be a minor issue for Bailey, and he'll continue to be labeled day-to-day until further notice. Curt Casali would likely be in line for another start behind the plate Tuesday if Bailey can't go.

Bailey has been scratched from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox due to tightness in his right side, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants are concluding their series in Washington with a day game, so Bailey will get some rest after catching all nine innings of Wednesday night's 7-4 win. Jakson Reetz will start behind the plate Thursday.
