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

Fitzgerald went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Fitzgerald spelled Thairo Estrada at second base for this contest. After an unimpressive start to the season, Fitzgerlad has four steals over his last five games while going 5-for-12 with three extra-base hits in that span. The 26-year-old provides cover around the infield and can also play in center, though the Giants' outfield hasn't varied much this season. Fitzgerald doesn't have an obvious path to playing time in the Giants' righty-heavy infield, so he's likely to remain a utility player unless he commands a larger role with his hitting.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Longer look in MLB likely in 2024
OFSan Francisco Giants
October 3, 2023
Per Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi indicated the Giants are willing to give Fitzgerald a chance to be the everyday starter in center field next season.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was called up by San Francisco on Sept. 21 and went 7-for-32 with two homers and two steals in his first 10 big-league games, building on the .857 OPS he posted at Triple-A Sacramento. Fitzgerald is also viewed as the best defensive center fielder in the organization, and providing strong defense at a premier position should help him maintain a spot in the lineup through potential early slumps.
