Player News

Scutaro extends hitting streak to 16 games | 05/18/2013 12:33 AM

News

Marco Scutaro went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored Friday against the Rockies.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Ho-hum, just another multi-hit night for the hottest hitter in the game. Scutaro now has a 16-game hitting streak and has raised his batting average from .215 to .327 in the process. The 37-year-old is not going to provide much in the way of pop or speed, but keep running him out there in all formats until he cools down.

Scutaro to DH Tuesday against Blue Jays | 05/14/2013 3:23 PM

News

Marco Scutaro will serve as the designated hitter for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

San Francisco Chronicle

Impact

It's a way to give him a bit of a breather. Nick Noonan will start at second base and bat eighth.

Marco Scutaro goes 3-for-5 in Giants' win | 05/08/2013 7:19 PM

News

Marco Scutaro went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI as the Giants beat the Phillies 4-3 in 10 innings on Wednesday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Andres Torres had the game-winning hit in the 10th. Scutaro has hit in eight straight game, collecting 15 hits in that span. It's raised his average from .215 to .282.

Marco Scutaro dealing with sore back | 04/28/2013 3:25 PM

News

Marco Scutaro is again battling some back soreness.

Andrew Baggarly on Twitter

Impact

It's a recurrence of an issue that Scutaro had late in spring training. He's in Sunday's lineup, but it could be something that might led to more rest of the next few days. Scutaro is batting just .225/.263/.281 this season.

Marco Scutaro goes hitless in loss | 04/27/2013 12:34 AM

News

Marco Scutaro went 0-for-3 with a walk before being replaced on a double-switch Friday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Scutaro, a postseason hero last year, is hitting just .217/.258/.277 through 83 at-bats. He's in no danger of being replaced as the Giants' second baseman, but he might get replaced by Brandon Crawford in the No. 2 spot in the order if this keeps up.

Scutaro not in Giants' lineup Thursday | 04/18/2013 10:57 AM

News

Marco Scutaro is not in the Giants' lineup on Thursday.

Henry Schulman on Twitter

Impact

Buster Posey is also getting the day off. Nick Noonan will start at second base and Hector Sanchez will catch.

Scutaro has three hits in win over Cubs | 04/13/2013 4:23 PM

News

Marco Scutaro went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Cubs on Saturday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Scutaro began the season just 2-for-23 (.087), but he now has 10 hits in his last 19 at-bats. The 37-year-old isn't likely to duplicate his success from down the stretch last year, but his batting average and multi-position eligibility should come in handy in most formats.

Scutaro not in Giants' lineup on Thursday | 04/11/2013 11:26 AM

News

Marco Scutaro is not in the Giants' lineup Thursday.

Alex Pavlovic on Twitter

Impact

It's just a routine day off. Nick Noonan is starting at second base in the Giants' afternoon tilt with the Cubs.

Marco Scutaro back in lineup | 03/24/2013 12:02 PM

News

Marco Scutaro (back) is back in the lineup Sunday.

Alex Pavlovic on Twitter

Impact

Scutaro had sat out the last few days with back tightness, but he's ready to give it a go. The veteran infielder is batting .261/.308/.261 this spring.

Scutaro still a few days away from returning | 03/22/2013 8:14 PM

News

Marco Scutaro (back) said Friday that while he's feeling better, his back is still tight and he'll miss at least another day or two.

Andrew Baggarly on Twitter

Impact

It doesn't sound like something that should be a long-term concern, but back issues tend to linger over the course of the season, especially with aging veterans like Scutaro. His fantasy value is buoyed by the fact that he'll hit second in the Giants' lineup, but is a much better option as a middle infielder as opposed to a starting second baseman.

Marco Scutaro unsure when he'll return | 03/22/2013 12:25 PM

News

Marco Scutaro (back) reported improvement Friday but is unsure when he'll return to game action.

Henry Schulman on Twitter

Impact

Scutaro was scratched from Thursday's lineup with back tightness. It doesn't sound like something that will be a long-term concern, but it's certainly worth tracking nonetheless.

Marco Scutaro scratched with tight back | 03/21/2013 8:22 PM

News

Marco Scutaro was scratched from Thursday's lineup with back tightness.

Andrew Baggarly on Twitter

Impact

It doesn't sound like a big deal. Consider Scutaro day-to-day.
