San Francisco Giants

The Giants signed Jake Lamb to a minor league contract.

Fantasy Impact: The deal includes an invite to spring training. Lamb will add infield depth for San Francisco heading into spring training.

The Giants signed Enny Romero to a minor league contract.

Fantasy Impact: Romero returns to the MLB after spending time pitching in Japan. He'll compete for a depth role in the Giants bullpen in spring training.

The Giants signed Miguel Diaz to a minor league contract.

Fantasy Impact: Diaz spent last season in the Astros organization. He'll add relief depth with San Francisco.

The Giants designated Blake Sabol for assignment.

Fantasy Impact: This was the corresponding move to the Justin Verlander signing becoming official. Sabol will look to draw interest on the wavier wire as someone who can provide depth behind the plate and in the outfield.

The Giants re-signed Ray Burgos to a minor league deal.

Fantasy Impact: The deal also included an invite to spring training. Burgos made one appearance in the majors for the Giants last season.

Fantasy Impact: Yastrzemski posted a .231 average, with 18 home runs, and 57 RBI in 140 games. He will likely serve as the primary right fielder for the Giants in 2025.

Fantasy Impact: Warren posted a 1.69 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP in six appearances with the Giants last season. He will likely compete for a spot in the Giants' bullpen.

Fantasy Impact: Teng struggled in Triple-A last season, likely leading to the Giants choosing to move on prior to the Rule 5 draft. He could clear waivers and remain in the organization.

Fantasy Impact: Flores was limited to 71 games last season with a knee injury. He posted a .206 average, with four home runs, and 26 RBI last season.

Fantasy Impact: Ray will return to the Giants to play out the final two years of his contract. He was limited to just 30 innings in 2024, allowing 16 runs while striking out 43.

Blake Snell has opted out of the remaining year of his two-year deal with the Giants. (Source: Alex Pavlovic )

Fantasy Impact: Snell has declined his $30 million option and will now hit the free agent market. He was forced to settle for a two-year deal last offseason, but after a strong second half of the season he should be in the market for a long-term deal.

Patrick Bailey is out of the starting lineup for the Giants Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Bailey will head to the bench for the season finale. Curt Casali will start behind the plate and bat eighth against the Cardinals.

Mark Canha is out of the starting lineup for the Giants Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Canha will head to the bench for the season finale. Jerar Encarnacion will start in left field and bat second against the Cardinals.

Curt Casali is in the starting lineup for the Giants Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Casali will start behind the plate and bat eighth against the Cardinals. He is hitting .190, with one home run, and eight RBI this season.

Brett Wisely is in the starting lineup for the Giants Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Wisely will start at second base and bat seventh against the Cardinals. He is hitting .237, with four home runs, and 30 RBI this season.

Michael Conforto is in the starting lineup for the Giants Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Conforto will serve as the DH and bat fifth against the Cardinals. He is hitting .237, with 20 home runs, and 66 RBI this season.

Tristan Beck allowed one earned run over four innings in the Giants' narrow 6-5 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: He surrendered four hits and two walks while striking out three. Despite a somewhat shaky outing, Beck's performance was decent enough to help his team clinch a win, though it wasn't a showcase of dominance. His ERA slightly increased, but it still remains impressive at 1.69 for the season. Fantasy managers should note that Beck's ability to limit runs is valuable, even if his strikeout numbers aren't elite. His solid ERA and WHIP suggest he can be a reliable option, particularly in deeper leagues where innings and stability are at a premium. However, his moderate strikeout rate and high FIP indicate potential volatility, so temper expectations.

Heliot Ramos went 1-for-4 with a run scored in the Giants' narrow 6-5 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: While not a standout performance, Ramos's ability to cross the plate contributed to the team's win. Despite this modest showing, Ramos maintains a solid .269 batting average for the season, with 22 homers and 72 RBI over 121 games. His consistent power and run production keep him relevant in fantasy lineups, although his high strikeout rate and low walk rate highlight some areas for improvement. Fantasy managers should continue to view Ramos as a viable outfield option.

Tyler Fitzgerald went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the Giants' narrow 6-5 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: Despite not driving in any runs or showcasing extra-base power in this outing, Fitzgerald's performance this season remains solid. With a .284 average and a decent blend of speed and power (17 stolen bases and 15 homers), he continues to be a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. His high strikeout rate remains a concern, but his ability to contribute across multiple categories helps balance that out. Moving forward, Fitzgerald should remain a staple in fantasy lineups, especially given his ability to score runs and swipe bases.

Matt Chapman contributed significantly to the Giants' 6-5 win over the Cardinals, going 2-for-4 with two doubles and scoring twice.

Fantasy Impact: This performance, while solid, underscores his season-long struggle with consistency, marked by a modest .247 batting average and a high strikeout rate. Despite these challenges, Chapman's ability to hit for extra bases (39 doubles and 27 homers on the season) keeps him relevant in fantasy formats that value power. His wOBA of .339 suggests he's been somewhat effective, but fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his batting average and strikeout tendencies could dampen his overall value.
