Ruf is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ruf had started each of the Giants' last seven games at first base and went 6-for-25 with two home runs and two doubles over that stretch, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday with Brandon Belt making his return to the lineup after being activated from the 10-day injured list earlier this week. Belt is serving as a designated hitter Wednesday but should eventually settle back in as a full-time first baseman, which will likely result in the righty-hitting Ruf seeing most of his starts against left-handed pitching moving forward.

Ruf went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Ruf's contributions Friday were enough to lift the Giants to the win. He took starter Walker Buehler deep in the fourth inning and tacked on another homer in the eighth off David Price. Ruf is now 4-for-15 in four games since returning from the bereavement list. The 35-year-old is up to a .226/.344/.354 slash line with five homers, 20 RBI, 29 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases in 50 contests. He's made three straight starts at first base, so Ruf should be in line for a regular role until Brandon Belt (knee) returns from the injured list.

Ruf (personal) was activated from the bereavement list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ruf was away from the team for the past week following the death of his father, but he's now back with the club. The 35-year-old won't immediately rejoin the starting lineup, with Wilmer Flores and Tommy La Stella starting at first base and designated hitter, respectively.

The Giants placed Ruf on the bereavement list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

San Francisco called up outfielder Heliot Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento to serve as a replacement on the active roster for Ruf, who left the team following the death of his father, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. Ruf will be away for at least the next 3-to-7 days before the Giants would have to add him back to the roster.

Ruf is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ruf will be on the bench for the second time in three games and looks like he may have to settle for a part-time role even while Brandon Belt (knee) and LaMonte Wade (knee) are on the injured list. Wilmer Flores is expected to serve as the Giants' regular first baseman while Belt is on the shelf, while Joc Pederson and Luis Gonzalez should pick up starts in the corner outfield against right-handed pitching.

Ruf went 2-for-5 with a walk, three runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

He came around to score his third and final run of the night on Brandon Crawford's game-winning two-out single to left field in the bottom of the ninth inning. Ruf was making his seventh consecutive start Tuesday, and he should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role while LaMonte Wade (knee) and Brandon Belt (knee) are on the injured list.

Ruf went 2-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, three runs and three RBI in an 8-7 loss to San Diego on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Picking up the start with lefty Sean Manaea on the mound, Ruf was the driving force in San Francisco's lineup with a two-run home run in the third, a solo shot in the fifth and two walks later in the game. After a sluggish April during which the 35-year-old batted .177, Ruf is slashing .378/.508/.644 in 45 May at-bats with three home runs and 12 walks compared to only 10 strikeouts.

Ruf will start in left field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ruf has enjoyed a big series in Colorado thus far, going 4-for-6 with two doubles, two walks, four runs and three RBI between the first two contests. He'll stick in the lineup for the second straight game with a southpaw (Kyle Freeland) on the hill for Colorado, but Ruf still looks like he'll serve as mostly a short-side platoon player moving forward now that the Giants have all of their key position players healthy.

Ruf is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second day in a row, Ruf will find himself on the bench against a right-handed pitcher (Chad Kuhl), signaling that his run as an everyday player is over. The righty-hitting Ruf should find his way into the lineup against southpaw starting pitchers, but he'll lose out on opportunities against righties now that Evan Longoria (finger) and Brandon Belt (neck) are both back from the injured list.

Ruf went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a 13-7 win against St. Louis on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ruf hit one of three homers across the two first innings for the Giants on Saturday, as his two-run shot staked the team to an early five-run lead. The veteran came into the contest without a long ball on the campaign after smacking a career-best 16 homers last season. Ruf has had a rough start to 2022, slashing .190/.296/.240 through 115 plate appearances.
