Posey went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 1-0 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher accounted for half of San Francisco's hits and all of its runs in a low-scoring contest. Posey has been on fire at the plate in his last five games, going 11-for-23 (.478) with a homer, two RBI and four runs scored in that span. He's slashing .340/.413/.595 with 11 homers, 23 RBI and 29 runs scored through 172 plate appearances.

Posey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday's series finale begins at 2:05 p.m. ET, so Posey will just be receiving some routine maintenance in a day game after a night game. Chadwick Tromp steps in behind the plate for Posey, who will put a four-game, multi-hit streak on hold while he rests Wednesday.

Posey went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, walk and strikeout as the Giants defeated the Dodgers 8-5 Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Posey clubbed a go-ahead homer in the eighth off reliever Blake Treinen only for the Dodgers to come back with three runs in the ninth to tie the game. The long ball was his 10th of the season in 35 games after recording only seven and five in 2019 and 2018 in 114 and 105 games played.

Posey is not in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Posey started the first two games of the series and clubbed a two-run homer Saturday, but he'll head to the bench for Sunday afternoon's finale. Curt Casali will work behind the plate in his place for the Giants.

Posey went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Posey tried to spark a comeback with his eighth-inning blast, but San Francisco didn't produce any more runs after that. The catcher is slashing .355/.430/.645 with nine homers, 17 RBI and 22 runs scored across 121 plate appearances. He hasn't played more than two games in a row this season -- since he started behind the dish Friday and Saturday, he'll likely give way to Curt Casali on Sunday. This divided workload has played a noticeable role in Posey's resurgent year at the plate after he opted out of the 2020 season.
