Giants Place Austin Slater On Injured List

By Anthony Franco | May 11, 2023 at 7:17pm CDT

The Giants announced this evening they’ve placed outfielder Austin Slater on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain. Bryce Johnson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to take his spot on the active roster.

It’s a rough break for Slater, who pulled up while running during yesterday’s loss to the Nationals. Slater had also lost the first three weeks of the season to a left hamstring strain. It’s been a tough opening to the year for the 30-year-old, who has been limited to just six starts thus far. He’d played well in that limited look, hitting .368/.455/.421 with two stolen bases through 22 trips to the plate.

The right-handed hitting Slater has been a productive role player for San Francisco for a few seasons. He’s now appeared in parts of seven campaigns and set his career high in playing time last year. Slater tallied 325 plate appearances of .264/.366/.408 hitting while starting a little less than half the club’s games in 2022. He’s taken particular advantage of favorable platoon matchups. For his career, Slater is a .291/.381/.473 hitter against left-handed pitching.

Slater’s absences have contributed to the Giants’ struggles against southpaws. San Francisco ranks just 26th in on-base percentage (.294) and 27th in slugging (.362) against left-handed pitching. Johnson adds a switch-hitter to the outfield mix but is more of a speed and defense type than a major offensive threat.

    The San Francisco Giants are such a mess. Yesterday Sean Manaea got LIT UP again . This time for 8 earned over 2.2 ip

    Dude posted a 5.00 ERA last year and was a league leader in Home Runs Allowed ( 2nd overall )

    He was bad last year.

    Then their rotisserie baseball genius Farhan Zaidi rewarded him with a 25 Million dollar contract

      Hey Tony. Nice to hear from you.
      How’s the 162m Rodon going ?
      Did the cortisone injection help that chronic back injury ?
      Do you think your $290m team will catch the $80m Rays ?

      If only the Giants had the genius front office that the Yankees possess. So envious.

      No you know who is a mess? The Yankees lmao how’s Rodon doing? That Judge contract already looks horrendous. Stanton on the IL? Color me shocked. Been stuck on the 27* for a loooong time. I looked at the Yankees lineup yesterday and spat out laughing.
