Posey went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two runs in Monday's victory over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher took Kyle Freeland deep in the first inning for his 17th long ball of the season. He later doubled and scored again in the sixth inning. The 34-year-old has been a huge part of the team's success this season, posting a .306 batting average and .395 on-base percentage, both of which are his best since 2017, while slugging .512 which is his best since his MVP campaign in 2012.

Posey went 3-for-4 with an RBI double in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher had gone just 7-for-56 (.125) across his last 15 games, but he got back on track with a three-hit effort. Posey also knocked in San Francisco's lone run of the contest in the first inning. Through 367 plate appearances, he's slashing .304/.395/.502 with 16 home runs, 43 RBI, 57 runs scored and 15 doubles. Since he's started five of the last six games, the 34-year-old will likely cede catching duties to Curt Casali for Sunday's series finale.

EDGE Analysis
Posey has gone cold at the plate recently, hitting .137/.214/.216 with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate over his last 14 games. He'll hit the bench after starting three straight games, with Curt Casali taking over behind the plate.

Posey is out of the lineup Sunday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Posey went 2-for-8 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored while starting the first two games of the series, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's finale. Curt Casali will work behind the plate in his absence.

Posey (knee) went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
After missing two games with knee discomfort, Posey returned to the lineup and made an instant impact with his first-inning blast. The star catcher is up to 16 homers, 41 RBI, 55 runs scored and 14 doubles while slashing .313/.406/.524 across 340 plate appearances. As long as the knee doesn't flare up again, Posey should be good to go for his usual workload of starting roughly two out of every three games going forward.

Posey (knee) will be in the starting lineup Friday against Atlanta, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Posey hasn't played since exiting Tuesday's game with left knee discomfort, but the veteran backstop has progressed enough to give it a go for the series opener in Atlanta. Curt Casali (head) also passed his concussion tests, so the Giants will have their top two catching options available.
