Fitzgerald went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzgerald has kept his bat warm in September, going 12-for-35 (.343) over nine contests, though he's produced just one RBI this month. The shortstop is now at a .297/.352/.532 slash line with 14 home runs, 17 stolen bases, 31 RBI and 49 runs scored over 83 games. Wednesday was the first time he's hit leadoff versus a right-handed pitcher since Aug. 25 -- he hit between second and seventh for 13 consecutive games. The Giants haven't faced a southpaw since Aug. 21, though that streak of opposing righties is projected to end Sunday if Martin Perez (paternity list) returns as expected for the Padres.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzgerald's memorable power binge in early August has given way to an 18-game homer drought, during which he's hitting .254 (18-for-71) with four doubles and five steals. He's still seeing steady playing time at shortstop, but he's no longer regularly hitting atop the order. Fitzgerald has still put together an impressive campaign with a .300/.353/.544 slash line, 14 home runs, 17 steals, 30 RBI and 45 runs scored over 272 plate appearances.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop has grown very comfortable in the leadoff spot for the Giants. Fitzgerald is batting .307 (27-for-88) through 21 games in August with five homers, nine steals, 10 RBI and 14 runs, and despite the fact that he didn't take over a full-time role until after the All-Star break, the 26-year-old has a legitimate shot at a 20-20 campaign -- he's up to 14 homers and 16 steals in only 68 contests.

Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases Thursday in a 6-0 win against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzgerald began the Giants' half of the first inning with a single, which he followed with a steal of second and third base. The rookie then added a sacrifice fly in the second frame. Fitzgerald has been an incredible pickup for fantasy managers astute enough to claim him off the waiver wire -- through 61 games, he's slashing .311/.365/.617 with 14 homers, 27 RBI, 37 runs and 14 stolen bases. He isn't showing any signs of slowing down, batting .333 (20-for-60) with five home runs and seven thefts through 14 games in August.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 13-2 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzgerald continues to show no signs of slowing down at the plate -- he's 19-for-56 (.339) with five homers and four doubles over 13 games in August. His blast Wednesday had little impact on the game, as Atlanta had already established a 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning before he responded. Overall, Fitzgerald has 14 homers, 12 stolen bases, 26 RBI, 37 runs scored and a .313/.369/.626 slash line through 195 plate appearances.

Fitzgerald went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzgerald's only hit of the night was a big one, as he took Charlie Morton deep to left-center field in the third to bring the Giants within a run. It was his fourth home run this month and his 13th of the year, all of which have come since July 9. His .972 OPS leads all rookies with at least 150 plate appearances this season. For the year, Fitzgerald is slashing .305/.363/.609 with 25 RBI, 36 runs, 12 steals and a 13:53 BB:K in 190 plate appearances.

Fitzgerald 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzgerald stole second and third in the seventh inning and has two multi-steal games in his past three contests after swiping just one base in July. The 26-year-old has remained scorching in August, going 13-for-37 with three home runs, five thefts and five multi-hit efforts across nine games. For the year, he is hitting .313 with 12 homers and 12 steals in just 176 plate appearances.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, three stolen bases and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-5 extra-inning win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzgerald has grabbed headlines with his power lately, but it was his speed that stole the show Thursday. He hadn't successfully swiped a bad over his previous 20 games, though he hit .347 with 11 homers in that span, so he hasn't had many chances to make an impact with baserunning. For the season, Fitzgerald is at a .314/.375/.634 slash line with 12 homers, 10 steals, 24 RBI, 33 runs scored and nine doubles over 53 contests.
