Sean Manaea - Dominant in bulk relief Manaea allowed two hits while striking out five over 4.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Boston.

Impact Manaea took over for opener Ryan Walker midway through the third inning and ended up blanking the Red Sox in 4.2 frames of work. The outing was a much-needed bounceback game for Manaea, who had allowed nine runs over his last three outings (10.2 innings). Through 70.2 innings this season, Manaea owns a 5.48 ERA and an 85:27 K:BB while primarily acting as a reliever.

Brett Wisely - Sent to Sacramento The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Wisely came up from the minors on July 3 and has since slashed .132/.233/.158 across 43 plate appearances. He'll now attempt to get back on track in Triple-A while Brandon Crawford (knee) comes back from the injured list to fill Wisely's roster spot.

Brandon Crawford - Activated from IL The Giants reinstated Crawford (knee) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Crawford wasn't expected to be back until Sunday, but the veteran shortstop will return to the Giants' bench a day early while Marco Luciano draws the start Saturday against Boston. Brett Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Joc Pederson - Sitting versus lefty Pederson isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Boston, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact After going 1-for-3 with a solo home run Friday, Pederson will take a seat Saturday against left-hander James Paxton. Michael Conforto will slide into the DH spot while Pederson sits, allowing Austin Slater to start in left field and bat in the leadoff spot.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Out again Saturday Wade (back) isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Boston, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Back tightness kept Wade out of Friday's series opener, at it will cost him at least one more start Saturday. Wilmer Flores will take over as San Francisco's first baseman and bat second while Wade recovers.

Joc Pederson - Clubs homer Friday Pederson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Pederson kept the game close with his eighth-inning blast, but the Giants couldn't find the tying run. The 31-year-old has homered three times and added two doubles over his last seven contests. The power appears to be back for the slugger, who is now at a .245/.371/.466 slash line with 11 homers, 36 RBI, 39 runs scored, eight doubles and two triples through 248 plate appearances. He hit leadoff Friday with LaMonte Wade (back) out, and Pederson could continue to be atop the order versus righties until his injured teammate returns.

Logan Webb - Takes hard-luck loss Webb (8-9) allowed three runs on six hits and struck out four without walking a batter over 7.1 innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Red Sox.

Impact Webb turned in a quality start in response to his 1.1-inning disaster start versus the Nationals last weekend. The Giants' offense remained cold Friday, limited to just two runs on six hits and a walk, leaving Webb with a tough-luck loss. The right-hander posted four quality starts over five outings in July and ends the month with a 3.49 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 140:24 K:BB through 141.2 innings over 22 starts this season. Webb is projected for a home start versus the Diamondbacks next week.

Anthony DeSclafani - Appears set for bulk relief DeSclafani appears set to work in bulk relief again Saturday against the Red Sox with Ryan Walker named the opener, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Impact The Giants have had some success throwing openers in front of their starters this season. It didn't work out well for DeSclafani last weekend -- he allowed four runs on eight hits over 4.1 innings against Washington -- but San Francisco will give it another try Saturday. DeSclafani has a 7.79 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over 32.1 innings since the start of June.

Ryan Walker - Opening again Saturday Walker will open Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact This will be Walker's second turn as an opener this week and seventh this season. He's pitched to an impressive 2.70 ERA so far this season, but Walker will likely go no more than three innings before turning things over to Anthony DeSclafani.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Nursing back tightness Wade was unavailable for Friday's game against the Red Sox due to back tightness, Steve Kroner of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Wade was out of the lineup against an opposing righty starter in Kutter Crawford, and Giants manager Gabe Kapler clarified after the game that Wade's absence was due to injury (not performance related). With a .535 OPS in July, Wade could be at risk of losing out on starts -- or at least falling in the order vs. RHP -- if he doesn't pick it up soon. He should be considered day-to-day for now.

Brandon Crawford - Expected back Sunday Crawford (knee) is expected to return to the Giants' lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact After reporting improvement during the week, Crawford cleared his final hurdle Friday, logging at-bats against a minor-league pitcher. It sounds like he will return after missing just over the minimum, though his exact role is to be determined in light of Marco Luciano's promotion. Luciano was reportedly taking grounders at second base Friday.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - On bench Friday Wade is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact He finds himself on the bench against a right-hander (Kutter Crawford) as Wilmer Flores starts at first base. Wade has been regular atop the order against right-handed pitching, but he's batting just .205/.308/.227 so far in July and the Giants are looking to spark their sputtering offense. With that, it wouldn't be surprising to see Wade cede more starts to Flores moving forward.

Keaton Winn - Battling elbow soreness Winn is dealing with soreness in his right elbow and will be examined by a specialist Saturday in San Francisco, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact Winn holds a 4.09 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 22 major-league innings, though he's surrendered six runs across 11 frames since being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in early July. Losing Winn would put a dent in the Giants' organizational pitching depth, as he's been able to hold his own as both a starter and reliever for San Francisco.
