Patrick Bailey, a player for the San Francisco Giants, was given a day off in the game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This decision comes after Bailey played in six of the last seven games, including a doubleheader in Philadelphia. Eric Haase stepped in as the catcher

Why It's Important?
Resting key players like Bailey is essential for maintaining their performance and preventing fatigue over the long baseball season.
