The San Francisco Giants will have to do without their young star backstop for at least a week after suffering another injury.
To take his place, the Giants recalled Jakson Reetz from Triple-A Sacramento to take the open roster spot. Until Bailey returns, Curt Casali will be the starting catcher.
His year at the plate is nearly identical to that of his first season in the Majors. In 96 games he’s batted .233/.299/.344/.643 with seven home runs and 38 RBI.The 25-year-old’s value this season has been in his ability to thwart the running game, something that has become more important since new rules were put in place to limit pickoffs and enlarge the bases before last year.
The IL move is retroactive to Monday. He was a late scratch for that game after he left Sunday’s contest with tightness in his right side. Bailey had an MRI on Tuesday. Earlier this season, Bailey became the first catcher in Major League history to turn a double play, catch a shutout and hit a walk-off home run in the same game.
