Thairo Estrada - Clubs fifth home run Estrada went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's win over the Brewers.
Impact Estrada took Colin Rea yard for a two-run home run in the third inning, bringing Lamont Wade around the bases to score. Estrada's been carrying a hot stick as the Giants' everyday second baseman, slashing 336/.391/.516 while swiping the tenth most bags in MLB (9) through 31 games. The 27-year-old has also been seeing an encouraging jump in power, having already hit five home runs after posting 14 in 140 games last season with a .161 ISO compared to his .139 ISO in 2022.

Camilo Doval - Earns seventh save Doval picked up the save in Saturday's 4-1 win over Milwaukee. He failed to record a strikeout over a perfect two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Doval picked up his fourth consecutive save, marking his fourth straight appearance without allowing a hit after blowing a save on April 30. After tallying 27 saves last season, Doval is providing plenty of fantasy value through 15 appearances, tying for the seventh most saves in MLB to go along with an 11.66 K/9.

Alex Cobb - Tosses seven scoreless Cobb (2-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing five hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings against the Brewers. He struck out five.
Impact Cobb had no issues with the Brewers lineup Saturday, holding the team to just five hits over seven shutout innings without allowing a single extra-base hit. Despite the 2-1 record, Cobb has been incredible through seven starts this season, owning a 2.01 ERA and 6.33 K/BB. Though the 35-year-old isn't the best source of strikeouts (8.48 K/9), Cobb provides value by limiting damage while benefitting from making frequent starts in pitcher-friendly Oracle Park.

Brett Wisely - Notches first two steals Wisely went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.
Impact Wisely has gotten into six games since he was added to the roster first for the Mexico Series and then as an injury replacement for Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring). His hit Friday was his first in that span, and a 1:4 BB:K is far from impressive, but he was able to notch his first two major-league steals. The utility man is batting .074 with one RBI and one run scored over 29 plate appearances while hitting near the bottom of the order when he draws into the lineup.

Camilo Doval - Notches sixth save of season Doval picked up the save in Friday's 6-4 victory over the Brewers. He allowed one walk while striking out two over one scoreless inning.
Impact Doval has now tossed three straight scoreless outings since blowing his first save of the year against the Padres. The right-hander has decent numbers, sporting a 2.57 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP on the year. However, having a blown save and two losses this early in the year isn't the best look for any reliever. The 25-year-old needs to be more consistent before being considered a premiere option.

Sean Manaea - Registers first win of season Manaea (1-1) earned the win Friday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks over five innings in a 6-4 victory over Milwaukee. He struck out six.
Impact Manaea finally earned a victory amidst his nightmarish start to the season. The former Athletic now has a 7.33 ERA on the year, as well as a hefty 1.63 WHIP. The southpaw should not be considered a reliable option until he strings together some quality starts.

Wilmer Flores - Subs in for pinch-hit homer Flores went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Brewers.
Impact Flores pinch-hit for designated hitter Joc Pederson in the eighth, promptly smacking a 397-foot shot to left center. This was the former Met's sixth homer of the year, and he's well on pace to pass his total from last season (19). The 31-year-old is now slashing .262/.311/.512 on the year.
MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
J.D. Davis - Smacks seventh homer of year Davis went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.
Impact Davis went yard in the bottom of the first, tying the game at 2-2. The former Met is on pace to have his highest home run total since 2019, when he hit a career-high 22 long balls. The infielder is now slashing .280/.352/.527 on the year.
