SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Ross Stripling - Falls to 0-4 Stripling (0-4) took the loss Monday, allowing three runs on 10 hits over six innings in a 5-1 loss to Detroit. He struck out three.

Impact It certainly could've been worse for Stripling -- he managed to hold Detroit to three runs despite surrendering 10 hits, recording his second straight quality start. He'd still wind up with a loss, however, as the Giants failed to generate any run support against Tarik Skubal. Since moving back into the rotation earlier this month, the 33-year-old Stripling has a 4.03 ERA with a solid 1.07 WHIP in five starts (22.1 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 5.77 with a 1.37 WHIP and 45:11 K:BB across 57.2 innings this season.

Scott Alexander - Takes loss as opener Sunday Alexander (6-1) allowed two runs on two hits over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Sunday. He did not walk or strike out a batter.

Impact Alexander was the opener for the second time this season, but it ended up being a poor outing for the southpaw, as he gave up multiple runs for the first time since April 29. He's emerged as a somewhat high-leverage option for the Giants this season, logging seven holds and one save over 32 appearances, though he's far from challenging Camilo Doval for the closer role. Alexander now has a 3.62 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB through 27.1 innings and should return to his usual role going forward.

Blake Sabol - Sitting in second straight Sabol is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The Giants have now faced left-handed starters on consecutive days, so it comes as little surprise that the lefty-hitting Sabol hasn't been included in the lineup for either of those contests. The rookie Rule 5 selection doesn't have a clear path to a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching either, but the Giants have often made an effort to find room for Sabol at either catcher, designated hitter or left field by resting one of their everyday players. Sabol has held his own when the platoon advantage is in his favor, as he owns a .280/.332/.492 slash line (123 wRC+) with 19 extra-base hits in 211 plate appearances versus righties.

Brett Wisely - Sits against southpaw Wisely is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will see his streak of nine consecutive starts at the keystone come to an end while David Villar mans second base in his stead as the Giants face off against southpaw Tarik Skubal. At least until Brandon Crawford (knee) returns from the injured list, Wisely should have a clear path to everyday playing time versus right-handers, and he was even included in the lineup in Sunday's 6-1 loss against the Nationals and southpaw MacKenzie Gore.

Mike Yastrzemski - On bench against lefty Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Yastrzemski will be one of three lefty-hitting regulars that will head to the bench with southpaw Tarik Skubal taking the hill for Detroit. Along with Yastrzemski, second baseman Brett Wisely and designated hitter Joc Pederson will also take a seat.

Joc Pederson - Sits out against lefty Pederson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Pederson will take a seat for the second day in a row while the Giants face a left-handed starter (Tarik Skubal) in the makeup game with Detroit. Despite not starting in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Nationals, Pederson accounted for the Giants' only run of the day when he slugged a seventh-inning pinch-hit home run, his 10th of the season.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joc Pederson - Smacks pinch-hit homer Pederson went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Nationals.

Impact Pederson was responsible for the Giants' lone run in Sunday's loss with an opposite-field homer off Amos Willingham in the seventh inning after pinch-hitting for David Villar. It's been a rough July overall for Pederson, who's gone 9-for-47 in 17 games this month, though he now has two homers and four extra-base hits in his last three contests. Overall, the 31-year-old Pederson is slashing .244/.368/.457 with 10 homers, 35 RBI and 38 runs scored through 239 plate appearances this season.

Anthony DeSclafani - Struggles again Sunday DeSclafani allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings Sunday against Washington.

Impact After Scott Alexander only recorded two outs as the opener, DeSclafani came on in the first inning, allowing both inherited runners to score before surrendering four runs of his own over his subsequent four innings of work. The 33-year-old DeSclafani has failed to earn a win since May 29 -- he's pitched to a 7.79 ERA over his last 32.1 innings, going 0-4 in that span. Overall, DeSclfani is 4-8 with a 4.88 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 79:20 K:BB across 99.2 innings this season.

Michael Conforto - Sits against southpaw Conforto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Conforto will ride the bench for the series finale along with fellow lefty hitters LaMonte Wade and Joc Pederson while southpaw MacKenzie Gores takes the hill for Washington. With Conforto out of the lineup, Austin Slater will pick up a start in the corner outfield while serving as the Giants' leadoff batter.

Casey Schmitt - Serving as primary shortstop Schmitt will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Schmitt will stick in the lineup for a seventh consecutive game and looks poised to serve as the Giants' primary shortstop against both right- and left-handed pitching while Brandon Crawford (knee) is on the shelf. Since opening his big-league career with 26 hits in his first 20 games, Schmitt is batting an abysmal .124 with no home runs, eight runs and seven RBI over his subsequent 39 contests.

Mike Yastrzemski - Registers steal Saturday Yastrzemski went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-1 loss to the Nationals.

Impact While stolen bases have been up around the majors, Yastrzemski hasn't been one to run more. This was his first successful theft (in three attempts) through 70 contests, though he's also been hampered by a couple of hamstring injuries during the campaign. The outfielder has also endured a brutal slump at the plate in July, hitting just .095 (4-for-42) over 15 contests this month, though he has drawn nine walks. He's slashing .230/.311/.435 with 11 home runs, 30 RBI and 41 runs scored overall.

Logan Webb - Logs shortest start of career Webb (8-8) took the loss against Washington on Saturday, allowing six runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 1.1 innings.

Impact Webb's outing began well, as he retired the side in order in the first frame. Things unraveled for him in the second, however, as six of the seven batters he faced reach base, culminated by a CJ Abrams two-run homer that was followed by Webb getting the hook. The right-hander tossed 41 pitches and got just one out in the second inning, and his departure after 1.1 frames marked the shortest outing of his career. Webb had been pitching well coming into the contest -- he compiled a 1.59 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 28:2 K:BB over 22.2 innings covering his past three starts -- so Saturday's disaster should be viewed as an aberration rather than an expectation.
