Marco Scutaro went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored Friday against the Rockies.
Ho-hum, just another multi-hit night for the hottest hitter in the game. Scutaro now has a 16-game hitting streak and has raised his batting average from .215 to .327 in the process. The 37-year-old is not going to provide much in the way of pop or speed, but keep running him out there in all formats until he cools down. May 18 - 12:33 AM

Marco Scutaro went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI as the Giants beat the Phillies 4-3 in 10 innings on Wednesday.

Andres Torres had the game-winning hit in the 10th. Scutaro has hit in eight straight games, collecting 15 hits in that span. It's raised his average from .215 to .282.

Marco Scutaro - 2B - Giants

Marco Scutaro is again battling some back soreness.

It's a recurrence of an issue that Scutaro had late in spring training. He's in Sunday's lineup, but it could be something that leads to more rest of the next few days. Scutaro is batting just .225/.263/.281 this season.

Marco Scutaro - 2B - Giants

Marco Scutaro went 0-for-3 with a walk before being replaced on a double-switch Friday.

Scutaro, a postseason hero last year, is hitting just .217/.258/.277 through 83 at-bats. He's in no danger of being replaced as the Giants' second baseman, but he might get replaced by Brandon Crawford in the No. 2 spot in the order if this keeps up.

Marco Scutaro went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Cubs on Saturday.

Scutaro began the season just 2-for-23 (.087), but he now has 10 hits in his last 19 at-bats. The 37-year-old isn't likely to duplicate his success from down the stretch last year, but his batting average and multi-position eligibility should come in handy in most formats.

It's just a routine day off. Nick Noonan is starting at second base in the Giants' afternoon tilt with the Cubs.

Marco Scutaro (back) is back in the lineup Sunday.

Scutaro had sat out the last few days with back tightness, but he's ready to give it a go. The veteran infielder is batting .261/.308/.261 this spring.

Marco Scutaro - 2B - Giants

Marco Scutaro (back) said Friday that while he's feeling better, his back is still tight and he'll miss at least another day or two.

It doesn't sound like something that should be a long-term concern, but back issues tend to linger over the course of the season, especially with aging veterans like Scutaro. His fantasy value is buoyed by the fact that he'll hit second in the Giants' lineup, but is a much better option as a middle infielder as opposed to a starting second baseman.

Marco Scutaro (back) reported improvement Friday but is unsure when he'll return to game action.

Scutaro was scratched from Thursday's lineup with back tightness. It doesn't sound like something that will be a long-term concern, but it's certainly worth tracking nonetheless.

Marco Scutaro - 2B - Giants

Giants re-signed 2B Marco Scutaro to a three-year, $20 million contract.

Though the Giants probably overpaid to bring the reigning NLCS MVP back, he remains a good fit for them. Scutaro batted a blistering .362/.385/.473 for the Giants after coming over in a trade from the Rockies and carried it over into the postseason with a .328/.377/.391 line. Things have the potential to get ugly at the end of the deal, but Scutaro should be a nice No. 2 hitter for San Fran in 2013.

Marco Scutaro - 2B - Giants

According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, Marco Scutaro has re-signed with the Giants on a three-year, $20 million deal.

Scutaro needs only to pass a physical before the deal becomes official. The Cardinals made a push for the veteran infielder, but it's unlikely they were going to go anywhere close to $20 million for him. Scutaro turned 37 just a day after the Giants clinched the World Series, so he'll play the final year of his deal at 39. It's the first deal longer than two years he's ever gotten.

Marco Scutaro - 2B - Giants

ESPN's Buster Olney hears that the chances of Marco Scutaro re-signing with the Giants are 50/50, with the Cardinals representing the most likely alternative.

Olney adds that Scutaro is expected to make a decision soon. The Giants have reportedly offered Scutaro a two-year deal with a vesting option for a third year, while it's unclear what the Cards are offering. While San Francisco offers familiarity, St. Louis does have the benefit of their spring training complex being in Florida, where the 37-year-old lives. The Yankees have also expressed interest in the veteran infielder, but it appears to be a two-horse race at the moment.
