SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Mike Yastrzemski - Could return for Cincinnati series Manager Gabe Kapler said that he's hopeful Yastrzemski (hamstring) will return from the 10-day injured list during the Giants' series with the the Reds that begins Monday, John She...

Impact San Francisco could get some much-needed reinforcement to its outfield to close out August, as both Yastrzemski and Mitch Haniger (forearm) are tracking toward returns during the Cincinnati series. Yastrzemski hasn't appeared in any minor-league rehab games since landing on the shelf July 31 with a left hamstring strain, but he faced injured pitcher John Brebbia (lat) in a simulated game Sunday and has ran the bases over the past few days, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Luis Matos - Garners third straight start Matos will start in right field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact He'll nab his third consecutive start after going 2-for-5 with a double between the first two contests of the series. With all of Michael Conforto (hamstring), Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring), Mitch Haniger (forearm) and AJ Pollock (oblique) stuck on the injured list, Matos could get a chance to play on a near-everyday basis in the Giants outfield.

Wilmer Flores - Matches career high in homers Flores went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Flores has been consistent and powerful lately, batting .289 with four homers and nine RBI over his last 10 games. He's matched his career high with 19 homers this season, and the infielder is a good bet to best that mark with over a month left in the campaign. He's slashing .299/.359/.543 with 48 RBI, 44 runs scored and 19 doubles through 97 contests, making his achievements slightly more impressive since he hasn't always had a clear path to playing time this year. Flores has primarily settled in at designated hitter over recent weeks.

Tristan Beck - Gets starting nod Sunday Beck will serve as the Giants' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact Beck will be picking up his first MLB start Sunday, but he may not be able to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win. After making a one-inning relief appearance Wednesday in Philadelphia, Beck will be taking the hill on three days' rest. Beck hasn't covered more than four innings in any of his relief outings with the Giants since the start of June, turning in a 2.85 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB over 41 frames during that stretch.

Sean Manaea - Hit with loss in bulk role Manaea (4-5) took the loss Saturday, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks over 3.2 relief innings as the Giants fell 7-3 to Atlanta. He struck out five.

Impact Ryan Walker worked 1.2 innings and allowed a run as the opener before Manaea took over, but it was Austin Riley's solo shot in the fifth off the southpaw that put Atlanta in the lead for good. Manaea's last four appearances have come in a bulk relief role, and while he's gone 1-2 in that stretch, his 3.95 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB through 13.2 innings suggest he's been somewhat unlucky. If the Giants keep him on a semi-regular schedule, his next outing would likely come on the road next week against the Padres.

Kyle Harrison - Next start slated for Monday Harrison's next start for the Giants is expected to come Monday against the Reds, Danny Emerman of KNBR reports.

Impact Harrison would be on turn to pitch Sunday, but with Atlanta featuring a right-handed heavy lineup, the rookie is expected to be pushed back a day. Manager Gabe Kapler hasn't officially named starters for Sunday or Monday yet, but it sounds like it will be a bullpen day Sunday before Harrison takes the ball Monday.

Ryan Walker - Opening on Saturday Walker will serve as an opener for the Giants on Saturday versus Atlanta, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact It's a familiar assignment for Walker, as this will be his 11th time this season serving as an opener. Sean Manaea would seem to be a candidate to work in bulk relief Saturday.
