Posey (knee) isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Posey will get at least one game to recover after he exited Tuesday's win due to knee discomfort. It's not yet clear whether the 34-year-old will be available off the bench, but Curt Casali will start at catcher and bat seventh.

Posey was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets with knee discomfort, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Posey was checked out by an athletic trainer during the fourth inning and initially remained in the contest, but he was replaced in the field for the following frame. The Giants were already leading the contest 7-0, so there's a chance the removal was precautionary. Curt Casali took over behind the plate and will have an increased role should Posey be forced to miss any time.

Posey is not in the lineup Thursday against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Posey started the past two games and homered in each contest, and he'll receive the day off for the series opener versus Colorado. Curt Casali will work behind the plate in his place.

Posey went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher's third-inning solo shot was ultimately all San Francisco needed to get the win, though the offense still totaled four homers. Posey has homered in back-to-back games for the first time since the season-opening series versus Seattle. He's up to 15 long balls, 39 RBI, 51 runs scored and 13 doubles while slashing .336/.429/.560 through 301 plate appearances. Since he's played on consecutive days, Posey will likely be spelled behind the dish by Curt Casali for Thursday's series opener versus Colorado.

Posey went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, three walks and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher's fifth-inning solo shot gave San Francisco a 5-0 lead, but that quickly evaporated in the sixth. Posey then drew walks in the eighth and ninth innings to help San Francisco stave off a spirited effort from Arizona. The 34-year-old has continued to rake since the All-Star break, posting a .352/.453/.556 slash line with two home runs, 10 RBI, 15 runs scored and five doubles in his last 16 games.

Posey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Posey is seemingly receiving some routine maintenance for the day game after a night game, allowing Curt Casali to pick up a start behind the plate. Following Monday's team off day, Posey will presumably rejoin the starting nine for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Posey went 3-for-6 with a pair of RBI in Saturday's win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Posey plated two runs with a single to center field in the 10th inning, breaking a 2-2 deadlock. The renaissance season continues for the veteran catcher, who is slashing .328/.418/.534 with 13 home runs and 37 RBI in 292 plate appearances on the year and hasn't gone back-to-back games without a hit since July 2-3.
