Dieter Kurtenbach: The SF Giants are getting exactly what they paid for this seasonComing up on the halfway point of the season, the San Francisco Giants can’t seem to find a rhythm, an identity, or a consistent lineup.

Allan Cerda - Heads to Double-AThe Reds promoted Cerda from High-A Dayton to Double-A Chattanooga on Monday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ImpactCerda was protected from the Rule 5 draft and added to the Reds' 40-man roster over the winter, and the 23-year-old outfielder's performance so far this season has seemingly validated that decision. Over 249 plate appearances at Dayton, Cerda got on base at a .357 clip while producing 26 extra-base hits (13 home runs, 12 doubles and one triple).

Justin Dunn - Covers two frames in rehab startDunn (shoulder) struck out one over two innings Sunday in his first rehab start for High-A Dayton. He gave up an earned run on three hits and one walk.
ImpactThe two-inning appearance was Dunn's first at any level in 2022 after he was placed on the 60-day injured list coming out of spring training with a right shoulder strain. Though the Reds don't have a spot available for him in the big-league rotation at present, Dunn is expected to be built up for a starting role during his 30-day rehab window. He'll likely make at least two or three more starts in the minors before being activated.
