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: San Francisco second baseman Marco Scutaro had three hits in four at-bats Monday in Game 7 of the NLCS to help the Giants beat St. Louis 9-0 to advance to the World Series. | Insight: Scutaro had multiple hits in six of seven games in the series despite getting taken out on a slide by Matt Holliday in Game 2. | | |

Scutaro will have X-rays on his injured hip. | | |

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. | | |

Description: Rockies middle infielder Marco Scutaro is questionable for Tuesday's game against Washington after being hit by a Stephen Strasburg fastball on Monday night. | Insight: Scutaro may take Troy Tulowitzki's spot on the field, but he's certainly not going to match his bat. Scutaro is hitting a respectable .276 with 38 runs scored, four homers and 20 RBI. | | |

Description: Rockies middle infielder Marco Scutaro is to be avoided on Saturday in his matchup with Texas starter Colby Lewis. He's a career 1-for-14 (.071). | Insight: Scutaro may take Troy Tulowitzki's spot on the field, but he's certainly not going to match his bat. Scutaro is hitting a respectable .276 with 38 runs scored, four homers and 19 RBI. | | |

Description: Rockies middle infielder Marco Scutaro went 2-for-3 with a walk Thursday against Philadelphia. | Insight: Scutaro is batting a healthy .333 in 72 at-bats in June. He's mediocre, but he's worth an add in NL-only leagues if you need a shortstop. | | |
| 6/8/2012 10:20:00 AM |
Description: Rockies second baseman Marco Scutaro has never had much success against Angels lefty C.J. Wilson, going 2-for-21 (.095) with five strikeouts. | Insight: Many fantasy owners were hoping for the light air of Denver to help Scutaro's fantasy numbers, but that hasn't happened. He's batting .258 with two homers and a .657 OPS. He does have 31 runs scored and six stolen bases, but that's not enough to be a full-time fantasy starter. | | |

Description: Marco Scutaro is not in the starting lineup today for the Red Sox.
SOURCE: Mike Silverman of the Boston Herald | Insight: It is a simple day off for Scutaro as he has been playing nearly every day. He has been a reliable option, but his lack of power gives him low-end value. | | |
| 6/22/2011 6:50:00 PM |
Description: Red Sox shortstop Marco Scutaro was scratched just before the start of Boston's series finale against the San Diego Padres because he was ill.
SOURCE: Yahoo Sports | Insight: Consider Scutaro to be day-to-day; he has been hitting well since his return from the DL so look to get him active as soon as the Red Sox get him back in the lineup. | | |

Description: After an injury plagued 2010 season, Marco Scutaro is perfectly healthy right now.
SOURCE: MLB | Insight: We expect him to retain the starting SS job in Boston and it's good news that his neck injury is no longer an issue. He is a late-round pick in mixed leagues - little upside but little downside too. | | |

Description: Terry Francona said that Marco Scutaro "is our shortstop".
SOURCE: BRIAN MacPHERSON | Insight: Some people have specualted that Jed Lowrie could steal the job but everything coming out of the Red Sox suggests that Scutaro is secure. | | |
| 1/15/2011 7:07:00 AM |
Description: Marco Sctuaro is going to get some competition for SS playing time from Jed Lowrie according to Theo Epstein.
SOURCE: SOX BLOG | Insight: With Dustin Pedroia back from injury there will be almost no playing time available at 2B. Scutaro's contract should still get him to bulk of the playing time but Lowrie can put a damper on his fantasy value. Scutaro or Lowrie could also spell Kevin Youkilis at 3B once or twice per week, allowing Youk to DH. | | |
