Seth Brown - Optioned to Triple-ABrown was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

ImpactBrown has featured regularly against righties throughout much of the season but hasn't been particularly impressive at the plate, though his lopsided .205/.274/.469 slash line is good for a technically above-average 101 wRC+. He could earn another chance down the stretch but will make way for now for Chad Pinder's return from a hamstring injury.

Chad Pinder - Returns from injured listPinder (hamstring) was activated off the injured list Friday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

ImpactA hamstring injury has kept Pinder sidelined since early July, but he's ready to go now following a three-game rehab stint. He wasn't an everyday player prior to the injury but made starts at five different positions, a role he's likely to remain in down the stretch. Seth Brown was optioned to clear space on the active roster.

Michael Kopech - Hard luck loser ThursdayKopech (3-2) allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one to pick up the loss Thursday to Oakland.

ImpactKopech entered a tie game to begin the seventh inning and nearly got out of with a perfect inning, but a shaky decision by first baseman Andrew Vaughn contributed to a two-out, two-run home run by Matt Olson. The first batter Kopech faced hit a grounder toward second base, but Vaughn ranged far to his right for it, then threw wildly from his knees to Kopech covering first on a play that was ruled a hit. The right-hander got the next two batters out before Olson's dinger. Kopech remains a trusted bullpen arm that's posted a 2.74 ERA with 68 strikeouts over 49.1 innings.
