SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Mike Yastrzemski - Dealing with hamstring tightness Yastrzemski was removed from Wednesday's game against San Diego due to left hamstring tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact While running from first to third in the fifth inning on a J.D. Davis single, Yastrzemski tweaked something in his left hamstring -- the same hamstring that caused him to spend half a month on the injured list in May. There's no telling yet whether or not he'll need another IL stint, but more details will likely come out prior to Thursday's game with the Padres. The veteran outfielder is slashing .310/.375/.759 with four homers and 10 RBI over his last seven games

Mike Yastrzemski - Exits with leg injury Yastrzemski was pulled from Wednesday's game against the Padres with an apparent leg injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Yastrzemski appeared to tweak something in his leg while running from first base to third during the fifth inning and had to leave the game. The Giants will take a look at Yastrzemski and provide more details in the near future, but the 32-year-old outfielder should be considered day-to-day until then.

Thairo Estrada - Not in lineup Estrada isn't starting Wednesday against San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Estrada has cooled off at the plate recently, hitting just 4-for-22 (.182) with one RBI in his last five games, so he'll get a day to regroup Wednesday. Casey Schmitt (arm) will fill in at second base in Estrada's absence, allowing Brandon Crawford to start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Casey Schmitt - Back in lineup Schmitt (arm) is starting at second base Wednesday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Schmitt was held out of the Giants' lineup for the past two games after getting hit in the arm by a pitch Sunday, but he was able to hit in both games off the bench. He now rejoins the lineup and will bat ninth Wednesday.

Patrick Bailey - Sitting Wednesday Bailey isn't starting Wednesday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Bailey is 3-for-12 with three RBI across his last three games and will take a seat Wednesday. Blake Sabol will take over behind the dish and bat sixth.

Wilmer Flores - Nearing return Flores (foot) said he expects to be activated from the injured list when first eligible early next week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Flores ran the bases and fielded grounders Wednesday as he completes his recovery from the left foot contusion that sent him to the 10-day IL on June 17. It sounds like he'll be ready to return to the Giants' active roster ahead of their series opener next Tuesday in Toronto.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Aiming to return Thursday Wade (side) said he's hoping to return to the starting lineup Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Wade was sent for an MRI on Wednesday morning after being scratched from the Giants' lineup Tuesday due to right side tightness. The results of the imaging scan were apparently encouraging enough that he won't require a stint on the injured list, and he could even be available off the bench Wednesday night against the Padres.

Victor Bericoto - Post-hype breakout at High-A Bericoto has a .305/.360/.540 slash line with 13 home runs and a 17.6 percent strikeout rate in 60 games for High-A Eugene.

Impact Bericoto made some noise with a strong showing as a 17-year-old in the Dominican Summer League in 2019, but injuries limited him in 2021 and he was roughly league average (97 wRC+) as a 20-year-old at Single-A last season, so this qualifies as a post-hype breakout. He has gone back and forth between first base and the outfield dating back to his first year in pro ball, and that remains the case, with starts sprinkled between right field, first base and left field.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Headed for MRI Wade is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday after tweaking his right side in batting practice prior to Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wade was scratched from the lineup ahead of the contest after reporting his injury to the coaching staff. He'll most likely end up sitting out Wednesday's matchup with the Padres as well while the Giants evaluate the results of his MRI, but Wade can be viewed as day-to-day until an updated diagnosis is provided by the team.

Ryan Walker - Opening again Wednesday Walker will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact With John Brebbia (lat) recently landing on the injured list, Walker has seemingly stepped in for him as manager Gabe Kapler's preferred opening pitcher. After starting in Monday's 7-4 win and covering 1.2 innings, Walker will handle opener duties for the second time in the series with the Padres. Based on the recent workloads of the Giants' other bullpen arms, Sean Manaea or Sean Hjelle look like the top candidate to serve as a bulk relievers behind Walker.

Joc Pederson - Fuels comeback win Tuesday Pederson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Pederson was the engine behind the Giants' comeback win -- he tied the game with his eighth-inning solo shot before his walk-off walk in the ninth. The designated hitter has gone just 4-for-21 (.190) over his last seven contests, though he also has five walks in that span. He's at a .266/.387/.508 slash line with eight homers, 27 RBI, 24 runs scored, no stolen bases, four doubles and a triple through 39 contests while seeing the vast majority of his playing time versus right-handed pitchers.

Tyler Rogers - Snares win Tuesday Rogers (2-4) allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Impact An error put runners on first and second with two outs, but Rogers escaped trouble. Joc Pederson then walked it off for the Giants with a bases-loaded walk. Rogers has both of his wins and six holds during a 10.1-inning scoreless streak over his last 11 appearances. The setup man is at a 1.56 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 26:11 K:BB, two saves and 14 holds through 34.2 innings on the season.

Anthony DeSclafani - Gives up three runs in no-decision DeSclafani didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Padres after he allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out six.

Impact It certainly wasn't a bad start from DeSclafani, though it's still the fifth time in his past six outings he's given up at least three earned runs. The right-hander has a 4.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 66:18 K:BB across 84.1 innings this year, and he tentatively projects to next take the mound this weekend versus Arizona.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Dealing with side tightness Wade was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Padres due to right side tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wade is slashing a very impressive .308/.431/.519 during the month of June, but side problems will cause him to miss Tuesday's game. The Giants will take a closer look at Wade to determine the severity of his injury, but he should be considered day-to-day for now.

David Villar - Late add to lineup Villar will play first base and hit ninth versus the Padres on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Villar is a late addition to the lineup after LaMonte Wade was scratched from the lineup. Villar has not had much success thus far in 2023 with a .154 average and .585 OPS over 104 at-bats across 37 games.
