San Francisco Giants
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fitzgerald really struggled in 2022 at Double-A Richmond but bounced back in a major way in 2023, slashing an impressive .292/.365/.511 with 22 home runs and 32 stolen bases between Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento. It earned him a late-season cup of coffee with the Giants and the 26-year-old popped two more homers and stole a couple more bases in 10 games. Fitzgerald struck out at a 29.4 percent rate with the big club after fanning at a 28.3 percent rate in the minors, so making contact could be an ongoing issue. He has legitimate pull-side power and stolen-base chops, though, offering some deep-league intrigue should he land a utility job. Read Past Outlooks

Goes deep Tuesday
SSSan Francisco Giants
September 25, 2024
Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
Fitzgerald put the cherry on top with a two-run blast in the fifth to put the Giants up 10-0. His power numbers have significantly dipped since he had that mini home run burst with 11 long balls in 17 games starting back on July 9. Tuesday's home run was only his third since Aug. 13 and just his second and third RBI in September. Fitzgerald is still putting together a productive campaign having permanently been back up with the Giants since June 28. For the year, he's slashing .287/.338/.510 with 35 extra-base hits, 33 RBI, 52 runs, 17 steals and a 20:101 BB:K in 325 plate appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Best NL rookie in July
SSSan Francisco Giants
August 6, 2024
Fitzgerald was named the National League Rookie of the Month for July on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old made San Francisco's Opening Day roster but had a few stints at Triple-A Sacramento during the first few months of the season. Fitzgerald saw inconsistent playing time early in July, but he took over as the Giants' primary shortstop after the All-Star break and finished the month with eight homers and a .321/.390/.849 slash line in just 16 games. He's also off to a hot start in August, as he's gone 7-for-17 with three homers in four games.
