Fixing Giants’ problems in the outfield, on the bases is this coach’s mission Last season, the San Francisco Giants saw their outfield defense struggle while their baserunning stalled. To fix both problems, Buster Posey turned to a former college teammate.

Fixing Giants’ problems in the outfield and on the bases is this coach’s mission - and Buster Posey's college teammate can still run down flyballs, too, nearly fooling Vitello into thinking he had a fleet new addition: www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

While Rafael Devers nears return to action, Giants relieved Jung Hoo Lee not seriously injured www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

Jung Hoo Lee rolled an ankle in WBC game in Japan but Vitello believes it’s minor and won’t affect his ability to play.

Devers likely to play Monday-ish it sounds like but Sunday is a vague possibility. (Home game better - own facilities etc).

Giants’ Tony Vitello works to build rapport with MLB umps after viral dustups at Tennessee Tony Vitello came to the San Francisco Giants with a bit of a fiery reputation, ejected five times in eight seasons at Tennessee. He’s making a point to get to know big league umpires ASAP.

Former Giants fan favorite Wilmer Flores waiting for a call that may never come Wilmer Flores is unemployed, staying in shape and hoping an MLB team that needs a veteran right-handed bat picks up the phone, but he bears the San Francisco Giants no ill will.

Giants’ bullpen options have been quickly thinned by rash of injuries Relievers previously buried on the Giants’ depth chart have a chance to make themselves known after several members of San Francisco’s bullpen have been sidelined.

Reiver Sanmartin says he has a little quad strain from fielding a comebacker in the WBC exhibition game. He’s back here to get checked, unlikely to return to Team Colombia.

Giants might not be quick to join MLB teams calling pitches from the bench While San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello entertained the idea of calling pitches from the bench, as he did at Tennessee, there’s been pushback inside the clubhouse.

Giants join fans in flocking to see Team USA in pre-WBC exhibition Team USA helped draw a sellout crowd to Tuesday’s exhibition game and thrilled members of the San Francisco Giants as much as anyone in the stands.

Giants join fans in flocking to see Team USA; especially fun day for Bryce Eldridge, who had notable exchanges with Harper and Judge, all the Bednars ("It's a family affair!"), plus a bunch of Giants minor-leaguers who played for Team USA www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

Many cool moments for young players today and Bryce Eldridge enjoyed many of them, including Aaron Judge telling him he hopes Eldridge is on Team USA three years from now.

What’s behind new Giant Harrison Bader’s offensive U-turn? The hips don’t lie Motion-capture analytics helped Harrison Bader rediscover his confidence at the plate and might make him more than just a defensive asset with the San Francisco Giants.

Who the Giants choose for infield reserves will impact rest of the roster The San Francisco Giants have capable infield reserves such as Casey Schmitt and Christian Koss. The question Tony Vitello has to resolve isn’t who’s worth keeping, but whether there’s room.

Enjoy this baseball season while you can, owners’ labor war is on deck OPINION: The 2026 MLB season is almost upon us. What comes next? The mother of all sports labor wars, as the billionaires who own the game and an almost literal license to profit want more.

Nice of the great Jon Miller to mention this on the broadcast today; if you were listening and wondered what he was talking about, it's a spicy dish of a catchers' story:

Giants’ search for backup catcher a choice among unique ingredients The San Francisco Giants face a multiple-choice quiz in picking a backup to starting catcher Patrick Bailey, one in which there might be several good answers.

Giants All-Star Robbie Ray says he just made a breakthrough in spring training. Yes, really Seldom is a spring outing of much significance for a veteran starter. It was unexpected, then, when Robbie Ray greeted reporters Friday by raving about a revelation with his delivery.
