Backup Catcher Eric Haase Takes Dodgers Deep Twice on Tuesday
San Francisco Giants backup catcher Eric Haase stole the show on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium in the team's 6-2 win over the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers, going 2-for-4 at the plate with two solo home runs (his first two homers of the season) and a strikeout while hitting ninth in the batting order. The 33-year-old veteran backstop went back-to-back with Harrison Bader for his second homer of the night in the fifth inning off right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Haase could see more playing time now that the Giants shipped Patrick Bailey to Cleveland, but at best, he'll be in a timeshare with Jesus Rodriguez and eventually Daniel Susac (elbow) when he returns from the injured list. But in six games played for the Gigantes so far in 2026, Haase is stating his case by going 6-for-18 (.333) with two home runs, two doubles, four RBI, and four runs scored. In his eight-plus seasons in the big leagues, Haase is a career .229/.279/.402 hitter with a lackluster .681 OPS and 50 homers in 389 games played.
