Basabe went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Houston.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Multi-hit effort in win
Basabe went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.
Basabe singled in the second inning before coming around to score, and he added another base hit in the sixth. The 25-year-old infielder has recorded at least one hit in six straight games, batting .364 with eight RBI, four runs scored, three home runs and a double in 24 plate appearances during that span. With Luis Arraez now in Philadelphia, Basabe figures to handle a regular role in the infield, especially with Marcelo Mayer (forearm) sidelined.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Handling regular role
Basabe will start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Basabe will pick up a fifth straight start after going 5-for-15 with three home runs, a double and eight RBI through the Giants' first four games of August. At least until the Giants get trade-deadline pickup Marcelo Mayer (forearm) back from the injured list, Basabe looks like he could be in store for an everyday role at second base.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Back in action Monday
Basabe (forearm) will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the Rangers.
Basabe was lifted from Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Padres after being hit on the left forearm by a pitch, but he's back in the lineup a day later. He'll be making his third consecutive start and has gone 3-for-9 with a pair of home runs early on in his stint with the Giants. With the Giants trading away Luis Arraez and Heliot Ramos ahead of Monday's deadline, Basabe could get the chance to play on at least a semi-regular basis in the short term.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Exits early after HBP
Basabe exited Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Padres in the ninth inning after being hit by a pitch on his left forearm, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Basabe took a 100.8 mph sinker from southpaw Adrian Morejon off his left arm with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and he was subsequently replaced at first base by Grant McCray. Basabe said that he expects to be okay, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rangers.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Carries offense in narrow loss
Basabe went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four total RBI in a loss to the Padres on Saturday.
Basabe was ultra productive out of the No. 9 slot in the order in his first start of the season. The 25-year-old put San Francisco on the board with a solo homer in the third inning, then came up huge in a clutch spot in the eighth when he laced a two-out, two-RBI double off All-Star closer Mason Miller to tie the score 5-5. Basabe had all of one homer over 96 MLB plate appearances coming into Saturday, so his display of power was quite unexpected. His ability to play multiple infield positions could come in handy for San Francisco, but Basabe isn't expected to start on a regular basis.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Selected from Triple-A
The Giants selected Basabe's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
Basabe made his most recent appearances in the major leagues during 2023 for the Rays, when he slashed .218/.277/.310 across 94 plate appearances in 31 games. For Triple-A Sacramento in 2026, the 25-year-old has slashed .268/.344/.388 through 311 plate appearances. His call-up Tuesday comes as a corresponding move to the Giants placing Casey Schmitt (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Basabe will be available to serve as a utility man.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Remains in organization
The Giants outrighted Basabe to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: DFA'd by San Francisco
The Giants designated Basabe for assignment Wednesday.
The move makes room on the Giants' 40-man roster for Logan Porter, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Sacramento after Patrick Bailey (neck) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Basabe was traded by the Rays to the Giants in February and was unable to crack San Francisco's Opening Day roster. He's slashing .242/.287/.352 with three steals, one triple, four home runs and 20 RBI across 198 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Healthy at Triple-A
Basabe (shoulder) appeared in Triple-A Sacramento's first two games of the season, going 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored.
Basabe dealt with a shoulder strain in spring training before he was optioned to minor-league camp March 10, but he looks to be fully healthy for the start of the season. He spent the 2024 season at Triple-A Durham in the Tampa Bay organization and slashed .248/.293/.336 with five home runs and four stolen bases across 283 plate appearances.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Cut from big-league camp
The Giants optioned Basabe (shoulder) to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
After reaching the majors with the Rays in 2023 and appearing in 31 games, Basabe spent the entire 2024 campaign in the minors and struggled during his time in the International League, slashing .248/.293/.336 over 283 plate appearances. The Giants acquired him in February and handed him a spot on the 40-man roster, but Basabe was unlikely to break camp even a strained right shoulder hadn't kept him from playing in the Cactus League since Feb. 25. If he's healthy to begin the minor-league season, Basabe should be in line to handle a near-everyday role with Triple-A Sacramento.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Dealing with shoulder strain
Basabe will not throw for a few days after being diagnosed with a right shoulder strain, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
It's not clear how or when Basabe was hurt, but the Giants do not seem overly concerned about the injury at this time. That said, the injury could impact Basabe's chances at winning a utility role, which already had seemed pretty low.

Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Traded to San Francisco
The Giants acquired Basabe from the Rays on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Basabe had been designated for assignment and is now on the move to a new organization. The 24-year-old missed much of 2024 due to injury and, when on the field, slashed only .248/.293/.336 over 66 contests at Triple-A Durham. Basabe is a versatile defender and is projected to serve as utility depth at Triple-A Sacramento.

Rays' Osleivis Basabe: Booted from 40-man roster
The Rays designated Basabe for assignment Monday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-acquired Alex Faedo. Basabe, 24, missed a large chunk of the 2024 season with a fractured wrist, slashing just .248/.293/.336 over 66 contests during his time at Triple-A Durham. He has minor-league options left and could draw interest from a team looking for utility depth.

Rays' Osleivis Basabe: Returns from Triple-A IL
Triple-A Durham reinstated Basabe (wrist) from the 7-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Basabe has been shelved for most of this season after suffering a fractured right wrist back in mid-April, but he's ready to play for Durham again after completing a 12-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, during which he posted a .945 OPS. posting a .945 OPS and a 9:1 BB:K. The 23-year-old had started games at shortstop, second base and third base with Durham before getting hurt and should go back to bouncing around the infield at the Triple-A level.

Rays' Osleivis Basabe: Out with fractured wrist
Triple-A Durham placed Basabe on its 7-day injured list Wednesday with a fractured right wrist, Triple-A Durham radio play-by-play broadcaster Patrick Kinas reports.
Basabe suffered the injury Tuesday, when he was hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance during Durham's 7-4 loss to Worcester. The Rays haven't indicated whether Basabe's injury will require surgery, but given that he throws and bats from the right side, he'll likely be headed for a multi-week absence even if he doesn't require a procedure. Basabe, who appeared in 31 games for Tampa Bay last season and retains a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, was hitting .224/.270/.276 over 63 plate appearances with Durham before being shut down with the injury.

The Rays optioned Basabe to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Basabe was removed from Tuesday's game against the Yankees after hitting his head while sliding into third base, but he seems to have avoided a concussion. The Tampa Bay medical staff cleared him to resume baseball activities Thursday, so if all goes well in his workout, he should return to the spring lineup this weekend.
