  • Hit in head during BP
    Soler (shoulder) hit on the field Tuesday but walked off with a trainer after suffering an apparent injury, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Tuesday marked the first time Soler has hit off the field since landing on the IL, but his session came to an abrupt end when he fouled off a ball that ricocheted off the top of the cage and hit him in the head. It's unclear how severe the damage is, but the 32-year-old was at least shaken up enough for him to be shut down for the day. The Giants will take a closer look at him and may offer more information on his status in the near future. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 pm

  • Jorge Soler leaves BP on Tuesday with trainer
    Jorge Soler (shoulder) left batting practice on Tuesday with a trainer.

    Advice: It’s not what you want to see. Soler was hitting on the field at Oracle Park for the first time since landing on the injured list last week with a right shoulder strain when he fouled a ball off the top of the cage that ricochetted back and struck him in the head.

  • Patrick Bailey (illness) not in Tuesday’s lineup
    Patrick Bailey (illness) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: No surprise here as Bailey is headed for further evaluation to determine whether his recent illness is related to the concussion he suffered earlier this month. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him land on the injured list at some point this week. Rotoworld Today, 3:07 pm
     
  • Visiting with team doctor
    Bailey is being evaluated by the team doctor Monday to determine if his cold is related to a concussion he suffered earlier in the season, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: The Giants are operating with caution to ensure Bailey doesn't require an extended absence. He'll be considered day-to-day until the club has more information. Blake Sabol and Jakson Reetz will see time behind the dish until Bailey is cleared for game action. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:18 pm
     
  • Patrick Bailey (illness) to be examined
    Patrick Bailey will see a team doctor to check out whether his apparent illness could be related to the concussion he suffered earlier this month.

    Advice: Bailey was thought to have a virus, but the Giants want to make sure his symptoms aren’t post-concussion issues. Blake Sabol is starting behind the plate tonight, and Jakson Reetz was called up in case the Giants need an extra catcher. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:12 pm
     
  • A.J. Puk rejoins Marlins pen after I.L. stint
    Marlins activated LHP A.J. Puk from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Puk was a starter before going down with shoulder fatigue, but that went badly and he should be in the pen for good now. He might wind up closing for the Marlins later this season if and when Tanner Scott is traded, though if he’s throwing well, it’s very likely that Puk will be sent elsewhere, too.

  • Returns from injured list
    The Marlins activated Puk (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: It's been a little more than three weeks since Puk landed on the IL with left shoulder fatigue, but he's ready to return after yielding two runs with a 7:0 K:BB over 3.2 innings across his four minor-league rehab appearances. Puk struggled mightily as a member of the Miami rotation earlier this season, but he'll be used in relief in his return from the IL and should eventually see usage in high-leverage spots.

  • Patrick Bailey scratched due to illness on Sunday
    Patrick Bailey was scratched from the Giants’ starting lineup on Sunday due to a viral illness.

    Advice: At least his absence wasn’t concussion-related, but we’ve seen these viral illnesses going around many MLB clubs and they’ve been forcing players to miss extended time. The good news is that he’s considered day-to-day and shouldn’t require a return trip to the injured list, but he may wind up needing a couple of days before he’s ready to return.

  • Dealing with illness
    Bailey was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Reds due to a viral illness, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Bailey was a late removal from the team's lineup ahead of their series finale with Cincinnati, which is now understood to have been the result of an illness. If the catcher is forced to miss any further time, Blake Sabol will likely operate as the team's exclusive catcher. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:42 pm
