Giants look to break skid in matchup with the Astros

The San Francisco Giants will try to end a three-game losing streak when they play the Houston Astros

30 MINS AGO • Associated Press

Drew Gilbert - Goes yard in loss Gilbert went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Monday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

Impact Gilbert ended his 24-game power drought with a homer in the seventh inning. The outfielder had added just three RBI and two extra-base hits in that span. Gilbert is hitting .237 with a .683 OPS, five homers, 24 RBI, 31 runs scored, 10 doubles, three triples and one stolen base over 95 contests. While he's competing for the starting job in center field, his lack of both power and speed will restrict his ability to rack up counting stats.

Jung Hoo Lee - Belts homer in loss Lee went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

Impact Lee started August hot, but he went just 1-for-10 over the weekend's three-game series versus the Tigers. He bounced back in this matchup with a fifth-inning homer, his third of the month and ninth of the year. The outfielder is hitting .300 with a .782 OPS, 46 RBI, 57 runs scored, 26 doubles, four triples and eight stolen bases across 109 contests. Lee's playing style is more about consistent contact rather than power or speed, though he could score more often if his turn atop the lineup Monday turns into an extended stretch in that slot.

Dylan Smith - Takes blown save Smith allowed a run on one hit and one walk over one inning to take a blown save in Monday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

Impact Smith was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning and couldn't get the job done. The right-hander has received first dibs on closing duties after the Giants' trade-deadline sell-off, but he's converted just one of two chances, and he's allowed three runs over 5.1 innings in August. Overall, he has a 3.09 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB through 23.1 innings while adding two saves, six holds and two blown saves.

Blade Tidwell - Fares well in no-decision Tidwell allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out six over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Monday.

Impact Tidwell performed well, throwing 62 of 96 pitches for strikes, but he came up an out shy of his first career quality start. He's done well with three runs allowed over 10.2 innings over his first two starts this year, and he'll likely get the chance to end the campaign in the rotation. Overall, he's at a 2.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB through 22.2 innings over 10 games (two starts) in the majors. He's projected for a home start versus the Rockies over the weekend.

Daniel Susac - Moved to injured list Susac (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Susac was diagnosed with a fractured left patella earlier in the day Monday and is unlikely to return this season. Zach Morgan had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Zach Morgan - Joining big club Morgan's contract was selected from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Astros, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Morgan is hitting .241 with one home run, 14 RBI and 13 runs over 28 games this season at Triple-A Sacramento and will get a chance to see his first major-league action after being promoted. He's in line to serve as the backup catcher Monday after Daniel Susac was diagnosed with a fractured left patella.

Drew Cavanaugh - Stepping into starting role Cavanaugh is expected to serve as San Francisco's starting catcher for the foreseeable future after Daniel Susac was diagnosed with a left knee patella fracture Monday, Alex Pavlov...

Impact Pavlovic notes that the Giants are in the process of calling up a backup catcher ahead of Monday's clash against Houston, and the team is also looking to acquire a veteran backstop to help out the rest of the way. However, there's a good chance that Cavanaugh will remain the team's starting catcher through the final few months of the 2026 season. The 24-year-old is batting .250 with one extra-base hit, three RBI and three runs scored in 22 games since July 1.

Daniel Susac - Diagnosed with fractured patella Susac has been diagnosed with a left knee patella fracture, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Susac suffered the injury when he fouled a ball off his knee during Sunday's game versus the Tigers. The initial prognosis was a contusion, but an MRI revealed a fracture. Susac will meet with doctors Tuesday to determine the next course of action, but it's likely the injury ends his season. With Jesus Rodriguez (elbow) also sidelined, Drew Cavanaugh is the only healthy catcher on the Giants' 40-man roster.

Rafael Devers - Multi-hit effort in loss Devers went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

Impact Devers singled in the fourth inning and added another in the seventh, marking his third multi-hit performance in August. Across 32 plate appearances this month, the veteran infielder is batting .276 with four runs scored, three RBI and two home runs. On the campaign, he's slashing .249/.321/.475 with 64 RBI, 61 runs scored, 24 long balls and a 26.5 percent strikeout rate in 499 plate appearances.
