Posey left Wednesday's game against the Rockies in the seventh inning, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neither Posey nor the Giants gave any indication of the reason for his departure, but it's presumably injury-related given the game's close score. Curt Casali replaced Posey at catcher.

EDGE Analysis
Posey went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored during the matinee, and he'll unsurprisingly take a seat for Game 2. Curt Casali will start behind the plate in the nightcap for the Giants.

Posey went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Padres on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Posey took Yu Darvish deep with a solo shot in the first inning, accounting for the only run the hurler gave up in the contest. The backstop also scored the only other run of the game for the Giants, crossing the plate on a double-play groundout in the eighth. Posey has had a resurgent campaign in 2021 after sitting out all of last season, slashing .361/.418/.705 with six homers and nine RBI.

Posey went 3-for-5 with a double and one RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis

Posey went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double, three RBI and three runs scored in a 12-0 blowout win over the Rockies on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Posey turned back the clock in Monday's trouncing of the Rockies with his first four-hit performance since Aug. 10, 2018. He began his night with an RBI double in the first and put his stamp on the game with a two-run homer in the sixth that extended the Giants' lead to 12-0. He also added in two singles, coming just a triple short of hitting for the cycle. The 34-year-old upped his slash line to .327/.397/.694 with five home runs and 12 runs scored but only seven RBI to his name. It's worth noting that he hit just 12 home runs in the past two seasons combined, so his resurgence in the power department has been a pleasant surprise for fantasy managers.
