SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Alex Cobb - Had hip tightness Thursday Cobb battled minor hip tightness during his start Thursday at Colorado, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Cobb told reporters afterward that it's a minor issue and will not prevent him from taking his next scheduled turn in the Giants' rotation. He looked a little uncomfortable in parts of Thursday's outing while surrendering four earned runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies. Cobb did manage to tally seven strikeouts in what became a 6-4 comeback victory for San Francisco. He holds a solid 3.01 ERA with 71 strikeouts through 74.2 total innings this year.

Michael Conforto - Two hits, homer in win Conforto went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Conforto jump-started the Giants' comeback, smacking a two-run shot off Chase Anderson in the sixth inning to cut the deficit to 4-3. After getting off to a slow start, the 30-year-old Conforto has been red hot since early May, batting .359 with eight homers and a 1.110 OPS in his last 22 games. He's now slashing .251/.352/.469 with 12 homers, 31 RBI and 34 runs scored through 210 plate appearances this season.

Patrick Bailey - Out with neck issue Bailey is absent from the lineup Thursday against the Rockies due to neck tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bailey was supposed to start behind the plate in the Giants' series finale at Coors Field, but Blake Sabol has been pressed into duty instead. It's considered a minor issue and Bailey could be available off the bench.

Mike Yastrzemski - Out of lineup Thursday Yastrzemski is not in the lineup Thursday against the Rockies.

Impact Austin Slater will start in center field and bat eighth for the Giants in the matinee game at Coors Field. Yastrzemski is slashing just .190/.288/.345 in 67 plate appearances since he returned May 16 from a two-week absence for a left hamstring strain.

Taylor Rogers - Earns second win Rogers (2-2) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out three over a scoreless inning to earn the win Wednesday over the Rockies.

Impact Rogers made things interesting but kept the Giants within a run in the seventh inning. He's pitched 6.1 consecutive scoreless innings, and he's given up just one run in his last 18 appearances. The southpaw got off to a rough start in 2023, but he's recovered to a 3.54 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB through 20.1 innings while adding a save and three holds in 24 appearances. He should continue to feature as part of the bridge to closer Camilo Doval.

Camilo Doval - Picks up 15th save Doval struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Doval's last two appearances came in non-save situations. He was able lock down his 15th save of the campaign with just 12 pitches. He's converted all 12 of his save chances since the start of May, and the Giants' improved play in recent weeks has allowed him to get more looks. For the season, the hard-throwing righty has a 2.03 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB over 26.2 innings.

Logan Webb - Yields four runs Webb allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Wednesday.

Impact Webb gave up the first four runs of the game, but the Giants rallied over the seventh and eighth innings to get him off the hook. This was his second-shortest outing of the season, though it's no surprise pitching in Colorado gave him some trouble. The right-hander has allowed seven runs over his last 12.1 innings, following a four-start stretch in which he gave up just three runs over 27 innings. Webb's at a 3.09 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 85:17 K:BB through 84.1 innings across 13 starts overall. He's lined up for a road start versus St. Louis next week.

J.D. Davis - Not in lineup Wednesday Davis is not in the lineup Wednesday night at Colorado.

Impact Casey Schmitt will cover third base and bat eighth versus the Rockies and right-hander Connor Seabold. This appears to be a planned day off for Davis, who's delivered an impressive .286/.371/.481 slash line with nine home runs and 34 RBI through 56 games this year with San Francisco.

A healthy Giants lineup puts on an offensive display in Coors Field The Giants defeated the Rockies on Tuesday, 10-4, in a game that shouldn't have been that close.

JUNE 7, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Mike Yastrzemski - Walks twice Tuesday Yastrzemski went 0-for-4 with two walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Yastrzemski was the only member of the Giants' starting lineup to fail to record a hit. He was dealing with a minor side injury Sunday that kept him out of the lineup versus the Orioles. The outfielder should be back in his usual role if the injury doesn't pop up again. He's at a .257/.319/.461 slash line with six home runs, 16 RBI, 27 runs scored and 11 doubles through 41 contests this season, and he's been solid lately by hitting safely in nine of his last 11 games.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Bailey - Three extra-base hits in win Bailey went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one triple, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Bailey took advantage of the Colorado air to pummel some extra-base hits. The catcher has logged four multi-hit efforts over his last nine contests, and he continues to see regular playing time behind the dish. He's also struck out 11 times over his last six games, and he's at a 31.6 percent strikeout rate on the year. Bailey has added a strong .309/.321/.545 slash line with two home runs, 13 RBI, six runs scored, five doubles and a triple in 15 games. It's unclear if Bailey's shown enough to stay in the majors once joey Bart (groin) is activated from the injured list.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Perfect at plate Tuesday Wade went 3-for-3 with a double, three walks, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact It doesn't get much better than that for a leadoff hitter. Wade has done an excellent job of setting the table lately, going 19-for-52 (.365) with eight walks over his last 13 games. This was his sixth multi-hit effort in that span. The 29-year-old is up to a .285/.429/.480 slash line with eight home runs, 19 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles and two stolen bases through 58 contests in what's been an excellent bounce-back campaign.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joc Pederson - Solid in return Pederson went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Pederson missed over three weeks with a hand injury. With the Giants taking control of the game early, he ceded his spot in the lineup to pinch hitter Wilmer Flores in the seventh inning. Pederson should be in the lineup as a strong-side platoon option at designated hitter going forward, but he's unlikely to play much versus southpaws. In that role, he's posted a .241/.366/.494 slash line with five home runs, 18 RBI, 13 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 27 contests.
