Brandon Crawford - Smacks four hits Crawford went 4-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Crawford has just two multi-hit games in his last 11, but he's batting .344 (11-for-32) in that span. The shortstop has started to get his season back on track with the improved hitting in June, though he'll still need to stay sharp to keep Casey Schmitt from eating into his playing time. For the year, Crawford is at a .226/.303/.365 slash line with four home runs, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored and three stolen bases over 45 games.

Luis Matos - Scores four times, swipes bag Matos went 2-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and four runs scored in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Matos has started his major-league career 3-for-8 with five walks and six runs scored over three games. His steal Saturday was also the first of his career. The top prospect wasn't showing much patience with a 6.1 percent walk rate in 24 games with Triple-A Sacramento this year, but his 6.9 percent strikeout rate at that level also suggests he rarely takes bad swings. Matos has started three straight games in center field, and it appears the ripple effect of his promotion has seen Blake Sabol retreat to a bench role.

J.D. Davis helps Giants dismantle Dodgers, 15-0 LaMonte Wade Jr.
JUNE 18, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
J.D. Davis - Delivers off bench Davis (ankle) went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Davis didn't start due his ongoing absence with an ankle sprain, and he replaced Joc Pederson as the designated hitter when he entered. Davis' first contribution was a grand slam in the sixth inning, and he added an RBI single for the Giants' last run. It's too early to say the 30-year-old is over the ankle sprain, but it doesn't look like he's too far away from a return. The big game put him at 10 homers, 40 RBI, 30 runs scored and a stolen base while slashing .291/.372/.493 over 64 contests. Davis has gone 5-for-13 (.385) over his last four games.
JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
LaMonte Wade Jr. - Drives in five in big game Wade went 3-for-5 with a home run, five RBI, a walk and three runs scored in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Wade hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning and added a pair of RBI singles after that. He doubled his RBI total for the month to 10 with Saturday's big effort. The 29-year-old continues to hit well in his strong-side platoon role at first base, and he could get a few more looks against lefties while Wilmer Flores (foot) is on the injured list. Wade is slashing .280/.416/.469 with nine homers, 26 RBI, 37 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases over 66 contests as he remains on track for a career year.

Tristan Beck - Goes four innings for save Beck allowed three hits and a walk while striking out two over four shutout innings to earn the save in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact This was a smooth outing with plenty of cushion for Beck, who helped the Giants spare their bullpen after they used eight pitches in Friday's 11-inning contest. This is the second time Beck's gone three-plus innings to earn a save this season. He's been an effective long-relief option for San Francisco with a 3.31 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 30:6 K:BB over 35.1 innings in his first big-league season. He also has a win and a hold through 14 appearances.

Giants' 15-0 rout of slumping LA matches worst home shutout loss in Dodgers' history

Alex Wood - Wins in return from IL Wood (2-1) allowed three hits and struck out four without walking a batter over five shutout innings to earn the win Saturday over the Dodgers.
Impact Wood had a minimal stay on the injured list with a back strain. The game was close for the bulk of the time he was pitching, and he did his part by throwing 47 of 67 pitches for strikes against his former team. The Giants' offense took over from the fifth inning onward. Wood's now at a 4.11 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB through 35 innings across nine outings (eight starts). He may still need a couple more turns through the rotation to build up his pitch count. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Padres.

Tristan Beck - Recalled from Sacramento Beck was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento by the Giants on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Beck will take the roster spot of Wilmer Flores after Flores was placed on the injured list with a foot bruise. In his previous appearance with the Giants, Beck allowed two runs -- one earned -- over 4.1 innings versus the Cubs on June 11. He'll be a multi-inning relief option while with the major-league club.
JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wilmer Flores - Placed on IL with foot contusion Flores was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Giants on Saturday with a left foot contusion, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Flores will miss a week-plus with the bruise on his foot. The infielder had been performing well in the month of June with a .385/.500/.615 slash over 26 at-bats. The Giants recalled Tristan Beck in a corresponding transaction.
JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Sabol - Out of lineup Saturday Sabol is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest versus the Dodgers.
Impact Sabol is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game with Michael Conforto, Luis Matos and Mike Yastrzemski making up the Giants outfield against the Dodgers and Bobby Miller on Saturday. Sabol has hit just .194 with a .568 OPS thus far in June over 31 at-bats, and he may see less playing time with those three assumed to be the starting group at the current moment.
JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Wood - Reinstated from IL Wood (back) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list by the Giants on Saturday
Impact Wood comes off the injured list to make a start against the Dodgers on Saturday. The southpaw missed the minimum time on the IL with his back strain, and he returns to a 4.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP accumulated over 30 innings and eight appearances -- seven of those starts.
JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
John Brebbia - Placed on IL with lat strain Brebbia was placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 16, by the Giants on Saturday with a Grade 2 lat strain, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Impact Brebbia has been one of the better relievers and openers for the Giants, as he has a 3.14 ERA and has been the starter in eight contests for the Giants. He'll miss at least two weeks while recovering, and Alex Wood was activated off the 15-day IL in the corresponding transaction to start against the Dodgers on Saturday.

J.D. Davis - Available off bench Saturday Davis (ankle) will not be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, but he will be available off the bench to hit, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicl...
Impact Davis will miss another game while dealing with his ankle sprain, but he told reporters that he was also available if necessary as a pinch hitter. The infielder doesn't believe he'll need a trip to the injured list, but he isn't expected to return to the lineup until after the weekend series concludes versus Los Angeles.
