Heliot Ramos Gets PRP Injection on Friday
San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos (quad) received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right quadriceps on Friday and will be shut down for the next week. Ramos was placed on the 10-day Injured List last weekend due to a strained right quad. He'll rest for the next seven days after getting the injection, so he'll be sidelined longer than the minimum 10 days. Before going down, Ramos was slashing .267/.307/.424 with four home runs and 20 RBI this season. The Giants have been using a combo of Drew Gilbert, Will Brennan, and Casey Schmitt in left field while Ramos has been sidelined.

Jung Hoo Lee Goes on Injured List With Back Strain
San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a mid-back strain, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Lee was initially removed from Monday's game early with what the team was calling back spasms. He is not ready to play to kick off a series this weekend against the visiting Chicago White Sox, so he'll land on the IL. With Lee out again on Friday, Harrison Bader is sliding over to center field and will hit ninth, with Casey Schmitt in left field, and Drew Gilbert in right field for the Gigantes. Will Brennan will be another candidate to see more playing time in the outfield for however long Lee is out. The 27-year-old left-handed-hitting Japanese outfielder's fantasy stock was way down, even before his back injury. He offers modest production across the board and is currently hitting .268/.311/.385 with a .696 OPS, only three home runs, 17 RBI, and 20 runs scored in his 179 at-bats this year. Lee has slashed a mediocre .266/.321/.390 with a .712 OPS in his two-plus years in the Bay Area, and he's rostered in only 11% of Yahoo leagues.

Jung Hoo Lee Still Out With Back Injury on Wednesday
San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (back) remains out of the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks, according to MLB.com. Drew Gilbert is making the start in center field and is batting ninth against D-backs right-hander Merrill Kelly. Lee is making progress since being removed from Monday's game in Arizona early with back spasms, but he will take a seat for the second straight game as a precaution. The Gigantes don't have a game on Thursday, so Lee may return to the starting nine for Friday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox. The 27-year-old Japanese native doesn't offer fantasy managers much in any one category, and he's currently slashing .268/.311/.385 with a .696 OPS, three home runs, 17 RBI, and 20 runs scored in 193 plate appearances across 48 games played in 2026. However, he's been better in May, going 13-for-46 (.283) with a homer and five RBI in 11 games. He's currently riding a modest five-game hitting streak.

Jung Hoo Lee Pulled Early on Monday With Back Spasms
San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (back) was pulled early from Monday's contest against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks with back spasms, according to Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle. Before leaving the game, Lee went 1-for-2 at the plate out of the leadoff spot for the Gigantes. He was replaced in right field by Will Brennan. Lee should be considered day-to-day for now, and he'll almost certainly be absent from the starting nine for Game 2 of the series in Arizona on Tuesday against the D-backs. Fantasy managers will want to check back later to see if Lee's back injury is serious enough to require a stint on the 10-day injured list. The 27-year-old Japanese native probably is not rostered in most mixed fantasy leagues after combining for only 10 home runs, 63 RBI, and 12 stolen bases in 187 games in his first two years in the big leagues. Going into Monday's action, Lee was hitting .266 (47-for-177) with only three homers, 17 RBI, and 20 runs across 191 plate appearances. He's currently rostered in only 12% of Yahoo leagues.

Heliot Ramos Lands on IL, Will Miss Several Weeks
San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos (quad strain) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. According to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports, Tony Vitello told the media that Ramos will miss "at least two weeks and likely more than that" as he recovers. This would seem to suggest that he'll be sidelined for more than the 10-day minimum required by his IL placement. Ramos' absence will be felt, as he had posted a solid .267/.307/.424 slash line with four home runs through his first 44 games this year. When he returns to action, Ramos could look to improve his discipline, as his 5.7% walk rate and 26.7% strikeout rate are not ideal for someone without significant power. In the meantime, Vitello said that versatile infielder Casey Schmitt will handle some reps in left field.

Heliot Ramos is Out with Quad Injury
San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos (quad) is out of the starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday. This doesn't come as a surprise after Ramos was forced to exit early during Friday's game due to right quad tightness. The Giants are going to play it safe and hold Ramos out for at least Saturday's game. The Giants should give another update on his status if he's forced to miss more time than that. Drew Gilbert will cover left field and bat seventh versus right-hander Luis Severino on Saturday. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday for another update.

Heliot Ramos Pulled With Right-Quad Tightness
San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos (quadriceps) was pulled from Friday's game early against the Athletics on the road with right-quadriceps tightness, according to the team. Before leaving the game early, Ramos went 1-for-3 at the plate with a strikeout. He was replaced in left field by infielder Casey Schmitt. Ramos apparently injured his quad in the sixth inning during a swing and was replaced in the outfield the next half inning. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, but don't be surprised if he's held out of the starting nine for Game 2 of the series in Sacramento against the A's on Saturday. If Ramos' injury is serious enough to send him to the injured list, Drew Gilbert would likely be the primary beneficiary in San Fran's outfield going forward. The 26-year-old Puerto Rican outfielder came into Friday's contest hitting .265/.306/.426 with a .732 OPS, four home runs, 20 RBI, and 19 runs scored in 43 games played for the Gigantes.

Harrison Bader Activated, Playing on Monday
San Francisco Giants outfielder Harrison Bader (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Bader is back in the mix after missing nearly a month of action due to a strained hamstring. Before the stint on the shelf, Bader was struggling with only six hits in his first 52 at-bats of the season. Bader will take over in center field and bat eighth versus right-hander Roki Sasaki on Monday. Bader could offer some help to fantasy managers in deep leagues that need a bat. He figures to play every day out in center field for the Giants going forward.

Giants Looking at Fire Sale This Summer?
The San Francisco Giants are 16-24 through 40 games of the 2026 season and haven't had a winning record since 2021. USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports that the team is one of the five most intriguing teams to watch as the summer trade deadline nears, according to a survey of club executives and scouts. President of baseball operations Buster Posey isn't just going to sit around, and he already made that clear by sending catcher Patrick Bailey to the Cleveland Guardians over the weekend. The Giants "would love" to unload outfielder Jung Hoo Lee ($85 million left on his contract), shortstop Willy Adames ($161 million left), first baseman Rafael Devers ($226.5 million remaining), and third baseman Matt Chapman ($125 million remaining) and "start over." They've also had no choice but to shop lefty Robbie Ray, who will be a free agent after the 2026 season. Some executives think the Giants would listen to offers on righty Logan Webb, too, but that's highly unlikely because he has three years left on a reasonable five-year, $90 million deal. "They've got an old team that's underachieving with a lot of money on their books," one executive said. "They've had to listen on Webb. It makes too much sense."
