LaMonte Wade Jr. - Takes seat against lefty Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Wade started the past five games, including two against left-handed pitchers, but he'll take a seat Sunday with southpaw Kyle Freeland pitching for Colorado. Wilmer Flores will start at first base and bat second in the final game of San Francisco's first half.

Senga, Cobb, Kimbrel, Burnes, López added to rosters for MLB All-Star Game
Five names were added to All-Star rosters as replacements for those that will be inactive for Tuesday’s game.JULY 9, 2023
Joc Pederson - On bench versus lefty Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The Giants will face another left-handed starter (Kyle Freeland) on Sunday, so Pederson will hit the bench for the third time in the past four games. Michael Conforto will serve as the designated hitter while Austin Slater starts in left field.

Brandon Crawford - Sitting Sunday Crawford (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Crawford was pulled from Saturday's game with hamstring tightness and will be sidelined for the final game before the All-Star break Sunday. Casey Schmitt will take over at shortstop while Brett Wisely mans the keystone.

Michael Conforto - Homers in Saturday's win Conforto went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact Conforto had gone 1-for-14 with a walk across his previous four games since returning from a hamstring injury. The outfielder's first-inning blast was his first since June 8. He's up to 13 homers, 44 RBI, 41 runs scored and two stolen bases while slashing .235/.329/.420 over 76 contests.

Austin Slater - Swats third homer Slater went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact The 30-year-old outfielder began the game on the bench, but he pinch hit for Mike Yastrzemski in the fifth inning against southpaw reliever Brad Hand and launched what proved to be the game-winning homer. Slater has only two hits in his last nine games but both of them have left the yard, and his extreme splits -- he boasts a 1.006 OPS in 48 plate appearances against lefties this season, but only a .759 mark in 39 PAs against righties -- should keep him in a short-side platoon role in the second half.

Camilo Doval - Nails down 26th save Doval struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 26th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact The right-hander needed only 10 pitches (eight strikes) to wrap things up, striking out pinch-hitters Nolan Jones and Harold Castro en route to his eighth straight successful save conversion. The save allowed Doval to keep pace with Alexis Diaz for the major-league lead, and the Giants' closer is already one short of tying the 27 he recorded in 2022 in his first full season in the majors.

Alex Wood - Excels in bulk role Wood (4-3) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Rockies, allowing three hits and a walk over five scoreless relief innings. He struck out three.
Impact Ryan Walker lasted two innings as the opener and left with the score tied 2-2, but Wood was able to shut down the Colorado offense completely once he took the mound. The veteran southpaw tossed 47 of 72 pitches for strikes as he remained locked in an alternating pattern of great outings and poor ones -- he's flipped between winning and losing in every appearance since May 26, posting a 0.43 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in the four wins but a brutal 15.43 ERA and 2.68 WHIP in the three defeats. Wood has worked behind an opener in his last three trips to the mound, and the Giants might keep him in that bulk relief role until he shows some consistency.

Brandon Crawford - Dealing with hamstring tightness Crawford exited Saturday's game against the Rockies with left hamstring tightness, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Impact Crawford suffered the injury while running to first base in the sixth inning. Manager Gabe Kapler downplayed the significance of the injury, but Crawford will likely be held out Sunday in anticipation of the All-Star break.

Brandon Crawford - Exits with injury Crawford was pulled from Saturday's game against Colorado with an apparent leg injury, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Crawford appeared to be shaking his leg after running to first base in the sixth inning, so it's possible he tweaked something. The Giants will take a look at him and should provide more information shortly. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.
JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Larsen - Shipped to Giants The Mariners traded Larsen to the Giants on Friday.
Impact Larsen sat out the first month of the season after fracturing his hamate bone, and he's slashing .313/.466/.338 through 103 plate appearances in Triple-A. Larsen isn't listed on the 40-man roster, so he'll continue to serve as organizational depth. However, he could draw consideration for a promotion should the Giants' outfield depth be tested later this season.

Luis Matos - Sitting Saturday Matos isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday versus Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Matos will get a day off Saturday after going 5-for-15 at the plate to begin July. Mike Yastrzemski will slide over to center field while Matos rests, opening a spot for Blake Sabol to start in left while batting seventh.
JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
J.D. Davis - Not starting Saturday Davis isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Davis will get a rare day off Saturday after going 6-for-25 at the plate through the first week of July. Wilmer Flores will fill in at third base while batting third.
JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Casey Schmitt - Not starting Saturday Schmitt isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Schmitt has just one hit in 15 tries since the beginning of July, so he'll take a day off Saturday to regroup. While Schmitt sits, Brett Wisely will start at second base and bat ninth while Brandon Crawford covers short.

Brandon Crawford - Homers in Friday's loss Crawford went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies.
Impact Crawford provided one of the Giants' five hits with his sixth-inning blast. Since his four-hit game June 17 versus the Dodgers, the shortstop has hit just .196 (9-for-46) over 16 contests. He's still seeing steady playing time despite a .219/.298/.355 slash line over 61 games this season. He's added five homers, 25 RBI, 21 runs scored, three stolen bases and 10 doubles. With Thairo Estrada (hand) out at least into August, Crawford should continue to see the bulk of the playing time at shortstop while Casey Schmitt and Brett Wisely appear set to cover the keystone.
JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Rogers - Handed loss Friday Rogers (4-3) allowed two runs on two walks and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus the Rockies.
Impact Rogers threw just 10 of 21 pitches for strikes to begin the seventh inning, and his brother, Tyler Rogers, was then tagged for a three-run home run by Ezequiel Tovar. This was the first time since April 12 that the southpaw Rogers has given up multiple runs, and just the fourth appearance in that span that he's been scored on at all. He owns a 3.30 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 38:15 K:BB through 30 innings while adding a save and four holds. Despite Friday's misstep, he should continue to be a high-leverage option.
JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ross Stripling - Surrenders two runs Stripling allowed two runs on four hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Friday.
Impact Stripling started and covered the most innings of the six pitchers the Giants used, but he still threw just 65 pitches (43 strikes). He hasn't completed more than five innings in any appearance this season, and he's done that just three times in 12 outings. The right-hander is now at a 6.37 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB through 41 innings. The Giants haven't revealed how their rotation will look after the All-Star break, which leaves some question to Stripling's role in the second half.
