Mandatory Credit: Eakin Howard-Imagn Images The San Francisco Giants placed catcher Patrick Bailey on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday because of a neck strain and selected the contract of catcher Logan Porter from Triple-A Sacramento.
Bailey’s move was retroactive to Sunday. Bailey, who turned 26 on May 29, last played on Saturday, going 0-for-3 in a 3-2 home win over the Atlanta Braves. He is batting .185 (30-for-162) with one home run and 16 RBIs in 56 games.
For his career, Bailey is batting .225 with 16 homers and 110 RBIs in 274 games since making his major league debut in May 2023.
The Giants selected Bailey 13th overall in the 2020 MLB Draft out of North Carolina State.
Porter, 29, played in 11 games in 2023 for the Kansas City Royals and batted .194 (6-for-31) with one homer and three RBIs.
San Francisco originally purchased Porter from the Royals in June 2024 and released him the next month. He signed with the New York Mets, and became a free agent in November, when the Giants signed him.
The Giants also designated shortstop Osleivis Basabe for assignment. Basabe was on the 40-man roster but had not appeared in an MLB game since 2023 while with the Tampa Bay Rays. He played in 53 games this season for Sacramento and batted .242 with four home runs and 20 RBIs.
