Posey went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Posey made a big splash in his return to the lineup by crushing a pair of solo home runs for the fourth multi-homer game of his career. The 34-year-old led off the fifth by taking the first pitch he saw deep to left-center to get the Giants' first run on the board. He came back up to lead off the sixth and hit a moonshot to left to close their deficit to two. Posey raised his slash line to .316/.381/.632 and sits at four home runs, four RBI and eight runs scored.

Posey (elbow) is feeling better Monday and could appear off the bench against the Phillies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elbow inflammation will keep Posey on the bench for the second straight game, but it looks as though he could avoid a trip to the injured list. Curt Casali remains the starter behind the plate in his absence.

Posey (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com, the Giants continue to view Posey as day-to-day while he contends with left elbow inflammation. Posey's initial X-rays on his elbow returned negative, but he could be a candidate for the injured list if he doesn't show meaningful improvement within the next few days. Curt Casali will start behind the dish Sunday, but 2018 No. 1 overall pick Joey Bart could be called up from the alternate site to take over as the Giants' top catcher if Posey requires an IL stint.

EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch and initially remained in the contest, but he was eventually replaced by Curt Casali. Posey went 1-for-2 with a run scored prior to exiting and may take the day off Sunday, especially since it's a day game.
