SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 The San Francisco Giants will be without one of their hottest hitters<\/a> for their three-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers and beyond as they placed catcher\u00a0Daniel Susac<\/a> on the 10-day injured list with right elbow ulnar neuritis.<\/p>\n

The team said that Susac is expected to miss the next two-to-three weeks, and his placement on the injured list is retroactive to Monday.<\/p>\n

Veteran catcher\u00a0Eric Haase<\/a> was selected from Triple-A Sacramento to take Susac\u2019s place on the active roster. Right-hander Jos\u00e9 Butt\u00f3 was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Haase.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the series, we had a quick little chat over there in the Nationals\u2019 facility,\u201d said manager Tony Vitello of Susac. \u201cWhat you see is what you get. He\u2019s great about that, and anything else anyone\u2019s thrown at him so far. Overall, the diagnosis \u2014 not being a professional \u2014 was pretty positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWould we like to have him in there at some point? Yes. But is it devastating? I don\u2019t think that\u2019s necessarily the case with the opportunity that it provides to Haase, who\u2019s been playing really well down there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old Haase earned the call-up over 23-year-old Jesus Rodriguez, who has hit well for Sacramento (.344 batting average) and can play second base and left field. Vitello said experience played a factor in the decision to call up Haase, who has played in 383 games in the majors over eight seasons. Rodriguez, by contrast, has yet to make his debut.<\/p>\n

\u201cRodriguez\u2019s time is coming,\u201d Vitello said. \u201cI don\u2019t think (experience) was the only factor, either. That\u2019s one you could quote me on behalf of everybody that was involved in those conversations. As soon as Susac had any soreness, we knew it was a possibility, so the convos had already started. \u2026 We have two good options.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be nice to have a very clear no-question slam dunk option, but it is a positive to have multiple options in different situations. If anything, it provides internal competitiveness and I think we have that going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Susac posted a 1.152 OPS over his first 24 plate appearances and started to make the case for more playing time over Bailey, who entered Tuesday with a .151 batting average. Among players with at least 50 plate appearances, Bailey\u2019s .361 OPS is the third-lowest in the majors.<\/p>\n

Despite poor overall numbers, Bailey had encouraging plate appearances during the Giants\u2019 recent series against the Washington Nationals, going 2-for-6 with a walk. The two-time Gold Glove Award winner\u2019s defensive metrics remain excellent as well, ranking in the 100th percentile of framing and pop time.<\/p>\n

Butt\u00f3 discusses axillary artery surery<\/p>\n

Butt\u00f3 was already expected to miss several months after undergoing surgery in early April to remove a blood clot in his right arm, but the reliever could potentially miss the remainder of the season after undergoing another procedure this past Friday to repair an axillary artery in his upper right arm.<\/p>\n

Before Friday\u2019s game, Butt\u00f3 shared that his artery had blocked itself following the initial surgery in early April, prompting a second surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been positive,\u201d Butt\u00f3 said through team interpreter Erwin Higueros. \u201cI lean on my wife, my kids for positive support. \u2026 I\u2019m a believer. I feel that things happen for a reason, and God probably decided that this was the time to have this done before something tragic happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Butt\u00f3 said there have been instances over the last two years where his fingers have felt numb and cold while pitching, particularly on cold days, but he thought those moments were something normal. When Butt\u00f3 had arm fatigue in San Diego on April 1, he described his fingers as once again feeling cold, but different compared to previous years.<\/p>\n

The right-hander said he won\u2019t throw for at least two months, adding that he doesn\u2019t know if it will be more than two months before he\u2019s able to throw. Butt\u00f3 plans to remain in San Francisco for the time being.<\/p>\n

Vitello explores San Francisco on off day<\/p>\n

Vitello joked at the end of Tuesday\u2019s pregame availability that he\u2019s \u201cbeen in hiding\u201d and \u201cholding out for more wins,\u201d but shared how he ended up at a Dave Chappelle comedy show on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The rookie manager went to a restaurant and saw several Giants fans, who told Vitello they were headed to Chappelle\u2019s show. On a whim, Vitello decided to see the comic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Why am I being so scared?\u2019 I coach guys and try and tell them to not be scared,\u201d Vitello said. \u201cSo, I went up, tried to find a Giants fan that worked at \u2026 Punchline. That didn\u2019t work, but persistence paid off and I eventually got my (butt) in that show, and Dave was Dave.<\/p>\n

\u201cI needed a laugh, and it was good to do something in the city. It was a lot of fun and met some cool people. Then, got some rest to get ready for this deal. I got a fist bump from Dave.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 The San Francisco Giants will be without one of their hottest hitters for their three-game…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[120499,96455,25615,101,4820,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-279853","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco","8":"tag-10-day-il","9":"tag-daniel-susac","10":"tag-patrick-bailey","11":"tag-san-francisco","12":"tag-san-francisco-giants","13":"tag-san-francisco-headlines","14":"tag-san-francisco-news","15":"tag-sf","16":"tag-sf-headlines","17":"tag-sf-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
