Giants Call Up Haase, Susac on IL

0:00It's April 22nd. Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI and ready for first pitch. Giants just placed catcher Daniel Susak on the injured list and selected Eric Hasey from the minors to fill the spot. Susak, their Rule 5 pickup from the twins, burst out hot with a 478 batting average, 500 on base and 652. Slugging over 24 plate appearances, dude was carrying the lineup early. He beat our Hasey for the back of gig, behind Patrick Bailey, who many call the best defensive catcher in baseball. But the Giants offense has been ice cold overall, and even Bailey's struggling at 151 batting this year against his career, 226, average. Fans and analysts figured Susak's tier meant more at bats coming his way, especially with the team desperate for runs. Now that's on hold for a few weeks, hitting them at the worst time since their dead last and scoring outside the meds. Hasey is back after getting released in, resigning to a minor league deal.

1:02He's got pop 22 homers with the Tigers in 2021 and 48 lifetime, but swings and misses a ton at over 30%. Strikeouts and his career line sits at 228 with below average production. Giants sit at 9 and 13, hosting the 16 and 6 dodgers starting tonight, so Hasey steps into back Bailey and sparks a momentum before. Susak returns.
