The San Francisco Giants have been hit by injuries as Matt Chapman and Patrick Bailey are now on the injured list. Bailey, a strong defensive catcher, has been crucial with a high framing metric but struggled offensively. Knizner, filling in for Bailey, has prior experience as a backup, while Logan Porter has been called up to join the roster. Despite recent injuries, the Giants are on a winning streak, showcasing resilience and adaptability.
The Giants faced a setback with both Matt Chapman and Patrick Bailey landing on the injured list, forcing a reshuffle in the team's lineup.
Despite his offensive struggles, Bailey is among the best defensive catchers and boasts impressive metrics for framing and pop time.
Knizner may lack the offensive prowess typical of starting catchers, but his experience as a backup to Yadier Molina provides valuable defensive stability.
Logan Porter, having limited major league experience, will step in as the next option for the Giants as they navigate player injuries.
