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
Won't be everyday shortstop
Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said Tuesday the team will be looking for a shortstop this offseason rather than putting Fitzgerald there on an everyday basis, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Posey referenced Fitzgerald's ability to play multiple positions, perhaps an indication the Giants have the 27-year-old pegged for a super-utility role in 2025. He trailed off in September (.677 OPS), but Fitzgerald still finished with a .280/.334/.497 batting line while hitting 15 homers and stealing 17 bases over 96 games. While his position doesn't appear nailed down yet, Fitzgerald should remain an everyday player for the Giants next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Best NL rookie in July
Fitzgerald was named the National League Rookie of the Month for July on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old made San Francisco's Opening Day roster but had a few stints at Triple-A Sacramento during the first few months of the season. Fitzgerald saw inconsistent playing time early in July, but he took over as the Giants' primary shortstop after the All-Star break and finished the month with eight homers and a .321/.390/.849 slash line in just 16 games. He's also off to a hot start in August, as he's gone 7-for-17 with three homers in four games.
