Ross Stripling - Throws 4.2 innings in Pittsburgh Stripling did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on five hits over 4.2 innings against the Pirates. He struck out six and did not issue a walk.
Impact Stripling worked into the fifth inning, deeper than he's gone into a contest since May 7. The right-hander missed six weeks this season with a back injury and is just now building up to something resembling a normal starter's workload (72 pitches Friday). His chances to face opposing batting orders a third time may still be limited, but Stripling seems to be trending in the right direction with improved health. He's allowed a total of five earned runs with 14 strikeouts against one walk in 13.1 innings since his return to action.

Camilo Doval - Adds to MLB-leading saves total Doval picked up the save in Friday's 6-4 win over the Pirates. He allowed one hit without a walk or a strikeout over a scoreless inning.
Impact Make it 27 saves in 29 chances, more saves than anyone else in baseball. Doval was a deserving All-Star selection, and in an era of bullpen committees, he has full ownership of the ninth in San Francisco. The rest of the Giants' bullpen has eight saves combined this season.

Michael Conforto - Won't need X-rays Conforto left Friday's game against the Pirates in the ninth inning after being hit by a pitch, but he was not sent for X-rays, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports...
Impact There's always a chance Conforto could need a day or two after being plunked -- he appeared to be hit in the ribs -- but the decision to hold off on X-rays suggests the level of concern within the organization is low. Prior to exiting, Conforto went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base, his third steal of the campaign.

Brandon Crawford - Back in lineup Friday Crawford (hamstring) is starting at shortstop and batting ninth in his return to the Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle Friday in Pittsburgh, Susan Slusser reports.
Impact Crawford missed the final game of the first half with a tight left hamstring, but he's feeling well enough to play after resting over the All-Star break. He and his Giants teammates are going up against southpaw Rich Hill.

Marco Luciano - Back in form Luciano is slashing .317/.430/.610 over his last 100 plate appearances for Double-A Richmond with six doubles, six home runs and three stolen bases.
Impact The 21-year-old had a rough start to the season after recovering from back trouble, but Luciano has been locked in over the last month. Strikeouts remain an issue for him, as he sports a 30.0 percent K-rate over that stretch, but that's balanced by a 17.0 percent walk rate. As long as Luciano can stay healthy, a second-half promotion to Triple-A should be in the cards, and potentially even a big-league debut before the 2023 campaign is over.

Luke Jackson - Set for rehab assignment Jackson (back) will begin a rehab assignment with the Giants' Arizona Complex League affiliate Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Jackson should need only one or two rehab appearances before rejoining the Giants' bullpen. He's been out since late June with a lower-back strain. Jackson holds a 2.16 ERA in 8.1 innings with the big club this season.

Anthony DeSclafani - Making rehab start Thursday DeSclafani (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with the Giants' Arizona Complex League affiliate Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact It sounds like it will be the only rehab start he'll need, setting the right-hander up to rejoin the Giants' rotation next week. DeSclafani has been on the shelf since early July due to right shoulder fatigue. He's posted a 4.44 ERA across 17 starts for San Francisco this season.
