Tom Murphy took over for Bailey, who initially remained in the game after Alec Bohm fouled a pitch off his face mask.
San Francisco Giants catchers Patrick Bailey looks on during day four of the Spring Training at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024. PHILADELPHIA — In search of offense, the Giants lost their most productive hitter of late in the second inning of their series opener Friday night against the Phillies.
As Alec Bohm’s walk-up music rang through Citizens Bank Park, catcher Patrick Bailey motioned to the Giants dugout. He requested the training staff and appeared to tell them, “I’m dizzy.” The catcher accompanied head trainer Dave Groeschner and manager Bob Melvin back to the dugout and was replaced by Tom Murphy.Nothing immediately preceding Bailey’s exit suggested a concussion or any other injury.
If Bailey is forced to miss time, the Giants no longer have Joey Bart at Triple-A Sacramento to call up in his place. Blake Sabol is the only other catcher the Giants have on their 40-man roster. As for Friday night, when it came time to warm up Jordan Hicks in between innings, it was Tyler Fitzgerald who threw on shin guards and a catcher’s mitt. Maybe the superutility man will play all nine positions after all.
