Brandon Crawford - Out of lineup Crawford will sit Saturday against the Marlins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The Giants faced five straight righties after Crawford returned from a hamstring strain, and the veteran started against four of them. He'll hit the bench here against lefty Braxton Garrett, with Casey Schmitt starting at shortstop.

Scott Alexander - Earns fourth win Alexander (4-0) walked one without allowing a hit or run in two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Friday over the Marlins.
Impact Alexander inherited a runner on second base with one out when he relieved Anthony DeSclafani in the sixth inning. Alexander then walked Joey Wendle but retired the next two batters to end the threat with the Giants down 2-1, and they rallied ahead with a three-run inning. With one run allowed over his last 6.1 innings, Alexander is emerging as a sort of fireman in the San Francisco bullpen. He's at a 4.96 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB across 16.1 innings, but he's also picked up four holds and appears to have the trust of manager Gabe Kapler in a variety of situations. Alexander is unlikely to compete for saves.

Tyler Rogers - Picks up second save Rogers picked up the save Friday against the Marlins. He struck out two over 1.1 perfect innings.
Impact Rogers has allowed just one run over eight innings pitched this month. In fact, four of the right-hander's six total runs allowed this year came against the Padres. He's been quite effective against the rest of the league, as evidenced by his 0.99 WHIP.
MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony DeSclafani - Fans six in no-decision DeSclafani did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against Miami. He struck out six.
Impact DeSclafani continues his hot start, as he's now tied for ninth in the league with a 0.99 WHIP. The former Red also sports a 5.9 strikeout-to-walk ratio, which would be a career-high if he stays at that pace throughout the season. The right-hander is tentatively slated to face the Twins on the road in his next appearance.

Joc Pederson - Doing light baseball activities Pederson (hand) is continuing his rehab and doing light baseball activities, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Pederson was placed on the injured list with a bruise on his right hand on Monday retroactive to May 13, and while there are no guarantees, he does have a chance to miss around the minimum stint on the IL before returning to the San Francisco lineup in the middle of next week

Luke Jackson - Pitching again Saturday Jackson (elbow) will pitch again Saturday in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento.
Impact Jackson has made two relief appearances thus far in his rehab assignment while not allowing a run with two strikeouts over two innings. The right-hander is making steady progress after missing all of 2022 while recovering from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery. The Giants will likely want to see Jackson work in back-to-back games before he returns, but he could be a late-inning option for the club before the month of May ends.

Austin Slater - Will start running over weekend Slater (hamstring) will start a running program over the weekend after resuming baseball activities earlier in the week, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Slater has been able to swing the bat and throw, but the outfielder will take the next step over the weekend as he works his way back from his left hamstring strain. Assuming there's no setbacks, Slater has a good chance to start a rehab assignment after the weekend with an opportunity for him to return to the Giants by the end of May.

Ross Stripling - MRI reveals no structural damage An MRI revealed no structural damage in Stripling's back, and he'll be evaluated over the weekend, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Stripling was placed on the injured list with a low back strain, but no structural damage suggests that the right-hander has a chance to return in the coming weeks. He's eligible to return to the Giants at the start of June.

Joey Bart - MRI reveals Grade 1 sprain An MRI on Friday revealed that Bart has a Grade 1 left groin strain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact A Grade 1 strain is considered the mildest you can have, so this is a positive development for Bart. The catcher was placed on the injured list before Friday's game against the Marlins, and he has a chance to return to the lineup before the end of May.

Thomas Szapucki - Undergoing shoulder surgery Friday Szapucki is undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome on his left shoulder Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Szapucki has been on the 60-day injured list since the start of the season because of his shoulder trouble, and the surgery will all but assuredly put an end to the season. The left-hander will have a chance to compete for a roster spot in 2024 if he's healthy.

Ross Stripling - Placed on 15-day IL Stripling was placed on the 15-day injured list with a low-back strain by the Giants on Friday.
Impact Stripling had to be lifted from his last start early with the issue and now it has forced him to the IL. He'll be eligible to return later this month, although it's not certain at this point when he'll be ready, nor is it clear whether he'll be in the rotation or bullpen when he does come back.

Heliot Ramos - Placed on 60-day IL Ramos was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento and placed on the 60-day injured list by the Giants on Friday with a right oblique strain.
Impact Ramos recently suffered the injury while in the minors and now will be sidelined into July, although at least he'll get a major-league paycheck out of it. The move clears a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster.
MAY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cal Stevenson - Designated for assignment Stevenson was designated for assignment by the Giants on Friday.
Impact The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster. Stevenson is hitless in nine at-bats for the Giants this season and would seem to have a good shot to clear waivers.

Joey Bart - Lands on IL with groin strain Bart was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain.
Impact Bart dealt with an issue on the other side of his groin last month, but this appears to be a new issue. He'll be eligible to return later this month, although it's not clear at this point whether he'll be ready at that time. Patrick Bailey is taking his roster spot but Blake Sabol figures to get most of the starts at catcher while Bart is out.

Patrick Bailey - Contract selected by Giants Bailey had his contract selected by the Giants on Friday.
Impact Bailey will join the major-league roster after he spent 14 games with Triple-A Sacramento, struggling to a .196 average with two homers, four RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base over 51 at-bats. The 23-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut and he'll likely get that shot soon while operating as a reserve option behind Blake Sabol at catcher after Joey Bart (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.
