Logan Webb - Pushed back to Saturday Webb, who was initially lined up to start Thursday's series opener in Milwaukee, will instead make his next turn through the rotation in Saturday's game against the Brewers while h...

Impact As a result of pushing back Webb, the Giants will treat Thursday's game as a bullpen day, with lefty reliever Scott Alexander serving as the opener for the contest and with Jakob Junis representing the most likely option to cover multiple innings behind him. Manager Gabe Kapler reiterated Wednesday that the Giants aren't concerned about Webb, whose previously start May 20 versus the Marlins ended early on account of the injury. Webb was able to throw from 90 feet Tuesday without issue and shouldn't be in store for any major restrictions with his workload Saturday.

Anthony DeSclafani - Struggles versus Minnesota DeSclafani (3-4) took the loss Wednesday, allowing seven runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks over five innings during a 7-1 loss to the Twins. He struck out six.

Impact DeSclafani surrendered a leadoff homer to Edouard Julien in the bottom of the first, and things didn't get much better for the right-hander as the game progressed. He allowed at least one run in each of the first four innings but was charged with only four earned runs thanks to a trio of errors in the third. Despite allowing a season-high seven runs, DeSclafani was able to finish at least five innings and record six-plus strikeouts for a second consecutive game and the fourth time this season. He'll look to get back on track next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for the opener of a three-game set versus Pittsburgh.

Scott Alexander - Serving as opener Thursday Alexander will be the opener for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Isan Diaz - Debuts at Triple-A Diaz (hamstring) was reinstated from Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list Saturday and has gone 3-for-8 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run in his first two gam...

Impact Diaz had been sidelined for more than two months with a hamstring strain that was apparently severe. The 26-year-old hasn't missed a beat in his return to the Triple-A lineup and retains a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster, so it wouldn't be surprising if he ranked near the top of the list for a promotion the next time San Francisco requires an extra infielder.

Sam Delaplane - Moves past forearm injury Delaplane (forearm) has given up six runs on five hits and eight walks while striking out six over 2.2 innings at Single-A San Jose since being transferred to the affiliate May 13...

Impact Delaplane missed the entire 2021 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and made only four appearances in the minors in 2022 while dealing with a related forearm issue that carried over into 2023. After missing the first five weeks of the current season, Delaplane received the green light to debut earlier this month, but he's struggled to find the strike zone thus far in his four outings. The 28-year-old right-hander will likely continue to make appearances in the lower levels of the minors until he shows improved control.

J.D. Davis - Resting Wednesday Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Davis will hit the bench after going 3-for-16 with a home run, two doubles, three walks, four RBI and four runs while starting in each of the past five games. With Davis out of the lineup, second baseman Thairo Estrada will get a day out of the field and occupy the designated-hitter spot.

Blake Sabol - Gets third consecutive start Sabol will start at catcher and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Sabol will pick up his third straight start at a different spot, after previously manning left field in Monday's series opener and serving as the Giants' designated hitter in Tuesday's 4-3 win. He'll get a turn behind the dish in the finale Wednesday while Patrick Bailey rests after starting each of the past four games. Though top backstop Joey Bart (groin) was recently placed on the injured list, the Giants appear content to give Bailey the bulk of the work behind the plate while Sabol continues to serve as a more versatile bench piece.

Patrick Bailey - Sits after four straight starts Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Bailey will get a breather for the series finale after he started behind the plate in each of the Giants' four games while going 3-for-13 with a home run, a walk and three RBI. Though Blake Sabol will draw the nod at catcher Wednesday, Bailey appears set to receive a look as the Giants' primary backstop until Joey Bart (groin) is ready to return from the injured list.

Alex Cobb - Fires seven strong innings Cobb (4-1) got the win over the Twins on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings.

Impact Cobb surrendered a two-run homer to Byron Buxton in the first and then a solo home run to Michael Taylor in the fifth but otherwise did not allow a single Twins hitter to reach scoring position. He generated 22 chases and tied his season-high with eight strikeouts while tossing his third quality start over his last four tries. He's now completed at least seven innings five times this season after only managing to do so three times last year. He's sitting at a 2.17 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 52:14 K:BB over 58 innings and lines up for a road start against the Brewers over the weekend.

Camilo Doval - Shuts down Twins for save No. 13 Doval struck out the side and hit a batter while earning the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

Impact Doval made easy work in the ninth and has now converted all 10 of his save chances in May. He's struck out at least two batters in seven of his last 10 appearances and sports an 0.77 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and an absurd 19:4 K:BB over 11.2 innings this month.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Conforto - Goes deep again in win Conforto went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and two more runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Twins.

Impact Conforto notched his first hit of the evening with a double in the sixth and came around to score. He stepped back up to the plate in the seventh and sent a breaking ball over the wall in left to put the Giants up 4-3. The 30-year-old now has six home runs over his last 12 games and leads the Giants overall with 10 homers on the year. Conforto hit 88 long balls from 2017-2019 and seems well on his way to surpassing 30 home runs this year if he can stay healthy. He's now slashing .219/.324/.445 with 24 RBI, 27 runs and a 21:46 BB:K over 170 plate appearances.
