SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Luis Matos - On bench Tuesday Matos is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mariners.

Impact Mike Yastrzemski is covering center field for the Giants and batting fifth. Matos went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's series opener versus Seattle and has slashed just .226/.304/.290 through his first 69 major-league plate appearances.

Brandon Crawford - Returns to lineup Tuesday Crawford (side) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

Impact Crawford will start at shortstop and bat eighth versus the Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert. He was held out of the starting lineup Monday due to side discomfort but did appear off the bench for two at-bats.

Keaton Winn - Draws another start Winn is scheduled to start Tuesday's game versus the Mariners at Oracle Park.

Impact Winn will be making his second turn through the Giants rotation after impressing in his first MLB start last Thursday in Toronto. While facing off against a formidable offense on the road, Winn struck out three and allowed two earned runs and six baserunners over six innings in a losing effort. The right-hander draws a more favorable matchup this time around and could make sense as a streaming option while facing a Mariners offense that has struck out at a 26.1 percent clip -- the third-highest rate in the majors -- since June 1.

Joc Pederson - Slumping, but playing time steady Pederson is hitting .161 with a .333 OBP and one extra-base hit (a triple) over his last 10 games.

Impact He remains a staple in the top four spots of the lineup against right-handed pitching while sitting against all southpaws. Pederson is hitting .245/.373/.447 with eight home runs in 51 games this season. His 22.8 percent strikeout rate is his lowest mark since 2019, while his 15 percent walk rate is the best mark he has posted since 2015.

JULY 4, 2023 • DATA SKRIVE

Michael Conforto - Gets aboard twice Monday Conforto (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Conforto served as the designated hitter, so the Giants may still be easing him back into action. He missed four games with hamstring tightness that forced him out of last Wednesday's game in Toronto. The outfielder is slashing .238/.336/.421 with 12 home runs, 42 RBI, 40 runs scored and two stolen bases over 72 contests this season. He'll likely return to left field in the coming days, which will leave Joc Pederson and Blake Sabol competing for time at DH.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Yastrzemski - On base twice in return Yastrzemski (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Yastrzemski had a near-minimum stay on the injured list while working through hamstring inflammation. The outfielder played the full game in right field, so he looks good to handle at least a strong-side platoon role going forward. He's slashing .260/.327/.480 with 10 home runs, 27 RBI, 38 runs scored and no stolen bases over 56 contests. Yastrzemski has hit safely in five straight games dating back to before his injury.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Blake Sabol - Goes deep twice in loss Sabol went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Sabol accounted for both of the Giants' run-scoring plays with a two-run blast in the fourth and a three-run homer in the ninth. While they came up a run short, this was still a massive game for Sabol individually, as the five RBI were a career high. The catcher/outfielder is up to 10 long balls, 33 RBI, 27 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .255/.317/.445 slash line through 65 contests. He's hit safely in five straight games, but the returns of Mike Yastrzemski and Michael Conforto from their respective hamstring injuries could make it tougher for Sabol to see time in left field going forward.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Camilo Doval - Lit up in non-save situation Doval (2-3) allowed four runs on three hits and struck out one without walking a batter in one inning, taking the loss Monday versus the Mariners.

Impact It wasn't a save situation, but Doval allowed the Mariners to rally for a lead in the ninth inning after entering a 2-2 game. This was the first time he's allowed multiple runs since April 14 against the Tigers, when he gave up three unearned runs over 1.2 innings. The bad outing spiked his ERA to 2.77 with a 1.10 WHIP and 54:17 K:BB through 39 innings this season. Given his strong performance and track record of success with 24 saves in 26 tries, this one poor showing is unlikely to cost him closing duties.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logan Webb - Strikes out 11 in no-decision Webb allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out 11 over 6.2 innings, taking a no-decision in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Webb struggled to a 4.70 ERA over 38.1 innings in June, so this was a big improvement over his previous month despite the lack of a result. The solid outing trimmed his ERA to 3.38 with a 1.14 WHIP and 117:23 K:BB over 117 innings through 18 starts this season. The Giants' ace is tentatively projected for one more start before the All-Star break, which would come during this weekend's series at home versus the Rockies.

Brandon Crawford - Absent Monday Crawford (side) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Crawford suffered the injury on a dive during Sunday's game against the Mets, so the team may be taking a cautious approach, especially with the All-Star break on the horizon. Casey Schmitt draws the start at shortstop and is set to bat ninth in Crawford's stead.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Leading off Monday Wade (back) is starting at first base and batting leadoff Monday against the Marines.

Impact Wade was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Mets while dealing with back discomfort, but the day off evidently helped him return to the starting nine. The Maryland product is slashing .276/.417/.310 with one double, two RBI and three runs scored over his last 10 games.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Conforto - Back in starting nine Conforto (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth Monday against Seattle, freelance writer Henry Schulman reports.

Impact Conforto has missed the last few contests while dealing with a left hamstring issue, but he's been cleaned to return in a DH role for Monday's series opener. He hit .203 with one homer, 14 RBI and seven runs scored through 22 June appearances.

Joc Pederson - Catches another breather Pederson is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Seattle, freelance writer Henry Schulman reports.

Impact Pederson will get another day off with the Giants set to face off against southpaw Bryan Woo. Michael Conforto will fill the designated hitter slot with Pederson sitting.

Anthony DeSclafani - Placed on 15-day IL DeSclafani landed on the 15-day injured list Monday with right shoulder fatigue, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact DeSclafani was lifted from Sunday's start against the Mets after throwing only 55 pitches, and this move will get the right-hander some rest going into the All-Star break. Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list to take DeSclafani's place.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brett Wisely - Back with Giants Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact Wisely will take the roster spot of Thairo Estrada, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a fractured hand. Wisely provides the Giants with plenty of versatility, as he's drawn starts at second base, third, shortstop and in left and center field so far this season.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Yastrzemski - Activated from 10-day IL Yastrzemski (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact Yastrzemski finished his brief rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento over the weekend and will be ready to go Monday evening for the first game of the series. He was slashing .250/.333/.518 with four homers, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored through 17 June contests before going down with the hamstring injury.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Thairo Estrada - Placed on 10-day IL Estrada was moved to the 10-day injured list Monday due to a fractured left hand, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact Estrada was struck by a pitch during Sunday's series finale, and after further evaluation, it was determined he suffered a fracture. The timetable for his return is still up in the air, as his return date will likely depend on the location and severity of the fracture.
