Description: San Francisco second baseman Marco Scutaro remains out of the lineup with a pinky injury. | Insight: Scutaro has been sidelined since getting hit by a pitch last Tuesday.

Description: Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that infielder Marco Scutaro as "mallet finger" tendon damage in his left pinky, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle. However, Scutaro wants to play through the injury. | Insight: Scutaro was hit by a pitch on his left hand Tuesday night. X-rays came back negative, but the second baseman is unable to straighten his pinky. If Scutaro keeps playing, there's a chance he'll develop a lifelong finger deformity, according to Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com. | | |

Description: San Francisco second baseman Marco Scutaro is just 2-for-17 (.118) against Washington ace Gio Gonzalez. | Insight: Scutaro (.337, 25 runs, 1 HR, 11 RBI) is currently on a 19-game hitting streak and a 1.169 OPS over that span. This matchup, however, might give him a problem. | | |

Description: San Francisco second baseman Marco Scutaro is getting the afternoon off Sunday versus the Rockies. | Insight: Scutaro (.331, 1 HR, 10 RBI) has collected a .485 average during his 17-game hitting streak. That's the longest active hitting streak in the major leagues. | | |

Description: Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro won't be in the lineup Thursday against Milwaukee. | Insight: Scutaro (.268, 0 HR, 4 RBI) has appeared in 14 of the Giants' first 15 games so he's just getting a day off. The veteran should be well-rested for Friday's tilt against the Padres. | | |

Description: Good news for Marco Scutaro owners: Scott Feldman is pitching today for Chicago. | Insight: Scutaro has owned Feldman in the past (.400 lifetime). Of course, most of those at bats came when Feldman was in Texas, which is generally considered one of the more hitter-friendly environments in major league baseball. On the other hand, Scutaro has had a very tough time at Wrigley Field in his career (.083 AVG in 24 at bats). That's a little alarming but with a good chunk of the league getting an off day on Thursday, Scutaro should still be worth a start. | | |

Description: Shortstop Marco Scutaro has agreed to stay with the San Francisco Giants. His new deal is worth $20 million over three seasons. | Insight: Scutaro played the best baseball of his career after the Rockies traded him to the Giants at midseason (.362, 7 HR, 74 RBI) and went on to win his first NLCS MVP Award in October. Given the position's lack of depth, Scutaro is definitely worth looking into in fantasy next season. | | |

Description: San Francisco second baseman Marco Scutaro is one of the few Giants with extensive experience against Justin Verlander, but he's had very little success, going just 5-for-23 (.217) with eight strikeouts. | Insight: The 2012 NLCS MVP doesn't have a good history in his matchups with Verlander and should be avoided in Game 1. | | |

Description: The Giants' acquisition of infielder Marco Scutaro has worked out well for both parties. Scutaro is hitting .347 with 13 RBIs in 12 games with the team, including a 3-for-6, seven-RBI performance Wednesday. | Insight: Something tells us that this won't last. Perhaps it's Scutaro's career .271 average and .725 OPS, or the fact that he posted a .684 OPS in 95 games for Colorado this season. Either way, he should only be considered in deeper leagues. | | |

Description: The Giants acquired infielder Marco Scutaro from the Rockies on Friday for second baseman Charlie Culberson and cash considerations. | Insight: Scutaro (.271, 4 HRs, 30 RBIs) appeared as San Francisco's starting third baseman Saturday against the Dodgers and went 1-for-3. Scutaro hit .299 with the Red Sox a season ago and he is eligible at multiple positions. There's some fantasy potential here. | | |
