SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Logan Webb - Yields five runs to Atlanta Webb (9-10) took the loss Friday against Atlanta, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out one over 5.1 innings.

Impact Webb has given up nine runs over 11.1 innings across his last two starts, both coming against Atlanta. He's now gone four starts without a win, though he should benefit from getting away from the league's most powerful offense. Webb is at a 3.51 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 163:27 K:BB through 174.1 innings over 27 starts this season. The right-hander is lined up for another challenging matchup at home against Cincinnati next week.

Mike Yastrzemski - Running bases Friday Yastrzemski (hamstring) will run the bases Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Yastrzemski suffered a setback with his left hamstring earlier this month but is ready to ramp things back up again. Testing things out on the bases will certainly be a big test, and a rehab assignment seemingly could be around the corner if all goes well.

Michael Conforto - Has Grade 2 hamstring strain Conforto has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The outfielder suffered the injury on Wednesday in Philadelphia and was placed on the injured list earlier Friday. It's a moderate strain, which means Conforto is looking at longer than a minimum stay on the IL. Luis Matos is getting the start in right field Friday versus Atlanta and Heliot Ramos has absorbed Conforto's spot on the roster.

Patrick Bailey - Taking seat Friday Bailey is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against Atlanta, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Atlanta is starting Spencer Strider, so Bailey probably didn't put up too much of a fight when he was told he was getting a day off. Blake Sabol will do the catching for Logan Webb.

Johan Camargo - Outrighted to Triple-A The Giants outrighted Camargo to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Heliot Ramos - Recalled from Sacramento The Giants recalled Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Ramos was just sent back to the minors Tuesday, but he's needed again for outfield depth after the Giants lost Michael Conforto to a left hamstring strain. Ramos, 23, carries a rough .220/.273/.390 batting line in 44 plate appearances this season at the major-league level.

The 30-year-old outfielder leaves behind a .251/.343/.405 batting line with 15 home runs and 55 RBI through 111 games for San Francisco. Heliot Ramos has been called up in a corresponding roster move.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • DATA SKRIVE

Thairo Estrada - Picks up 19th steal Estrada went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

Impact The steal was Estrada's 19th of the season, and it was his first attempt to swipe a bag since returning from a hand injury earlier in the month. The second baseman has gone 21-for-67 (.313) over his last 16 games. He's up to a .280/.329/.434 slash line with 10 home runs, 39 RBI, 51 runs scored, 23 doubles and a triple over 86 games this season.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wilmer Flores - Goes yard Wednesday Flores went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

Impact Flores opened the scoring in the first inning with a solo shot and added an RBI single in the third. He's hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 10-for-30 (.333) with three homers and seven RBI in that span. The infielder is up to 18 long balls, 46 RBI, 43 runs scored and a .304/.365/.545 slash line through 95 contests this season. He remains an option primarily at designated hitter and the corner infield spots.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jakob Junis - Snags win Wednesday Junis (4-3) allowed one hit and struck out one without walking a batter over one scoreless inning to earn the extra-inning win over the Phillies on Wednesday.

Impact Camilo Doval struggled in a blown save, failing to record an out while giving up a game-tying home run to Bryce Harper in the ninth inning. Junis kept the game tied, and the Giants took the lead for good in the 10th. Junis has endured mixed results since the start of July, allowing 10 runs (seven earned) over 26 innings across 13 appearances while serving as one of the Giants' many bulk relievers. Eight of his outings in that span have been longer than an inning. The right-hander had a middling 3.95 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 83:18 K:BB with a save and two holds over 70.2 innings this season.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Walker - Grabs first save Walker picked up the save Wednesday against Philadelphia, pitching a third of an inning in an 8-6 victory.

Impact Facing Trea Turner as the potential tying run in the 10th inning, Walker was able to coax a flyout to earn the first save of his Major League career. While he seems unlikely to get regular save chances going forward, Walker's been reliable of late, allowing just one earned run over his last 11 appearances (15.2 innings). The 27-year-old right-hander now sports an impressive 2.14 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 53:13 K:BB across 46.1 innings this season.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Cobb - Solid in no-decision Cobb did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits over five innings against the Phillies. He struck out four.

Impact Cobb was shutout the Phillies for five innings Wednesday before surrendering back-to-back home runs to Kyle Schwarber and Trae Turner to begin the sixth. Despite the rough finish, it was an encouraging outing from Cobb, who'd struggled to a 6.54 ERA over his previous six starts. Overall, the veteran right-hander is 6-5 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 117:34 K:BB across 24 starts (132.1 innings) this season. Cobb's currently in line for a home matchup with the Reds in his next outing.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Paul DeJong - Homer, four RBI in Giants debut DeJong went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Phillies.

Impact DeJong made an immediate impact in his Giants debut, launching a two-run homer off Michael Lorenzen in the fourth inning before putting San Francisco ahead 7-5 in the 10th inning with a two-run single. It was quite a performance from DeJong, who was DFA'd by the Blue Jays after going just 3-for-50 (.060) in his last 15 games. Overall, the 30-year-old DeJong's slashing .216/.273/.378 with 14 homers, 40 runs scored and 37 RBI across 355 plate appearances between San Francisco, Toronto and St. Louis this season. While it's been hard to rely on consistent fantasy production from DeJong, he could see a regular role with the Giants while Brandon Crawford (forearm) is sidelined.

Camilo Doval - Blows fourth straight save Doval blew the save Wednesday, allowing three runs on a hit and two walks without recording an out in an 8-6 win over the Phillies.

Impact Doval walked the first two batters he faced in the ninth inning before Bryce Harper launched a three-run homer to tie the game 5-5. It's been a brutal stretch for Doval, who's now taken four straight blown saves. He's allowed five runs over his last two appearances while recording just one out in that span. Overall, Doval's ERA is up to 3.09 with a 1.14 WHIP and 75:24 K:BB across 55.1 innings while going 33-for-40 in save chances this season.

Impact Giants manager Gabe Kapler was a bit more cautious, saying Wednesday only that he thought there was enough time left in the season for Crawford to contribute. Crawford landed on the IL over the weekend with a strained left (non-throwing) forearm. The team has signed Paul DeJong as a stopgap at shortstop.
