Mark Canha - Logs steal in loss Canha went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Canha has been mostly limited to a short-side platoon role since he was traded from the Tigers to the Giants, but he got a rare start versus a right-hander amid LaMonte Wade's slump. Since the trade, Canha has gone 13-for-47 (.277) with no home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and two doubles. He's at a .237/.340/.346 slash line with seven homers, five steals, 41 RBI, 45 runs scored and 19 doubles over 432 plate appearances this season, which has him on pace for one of the worst years of his career.

The long ball with his 15th of the campaign and his fifth in August, where he batted .259 with 15 RBI and 12 runs scored. The outfielder has now hit safely in two of his last three games, posting two extra-base hits, two RBI and two runs over that stretch.

Mason Black - Allows two runs in loss Black (0-2) took the loss against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings while striking out six.

Impact Black struck out three of the first four batters he faced in the contest before allowing three hits in the second, including a two-run homer off the bat of Griffin Conine. The rookie right-hander recovered nicely, however, hurling three consecutive scoreless from that point on until he was relieved by Taylor Rogers to open the sixth. Black's five innings on the mound marked a season high, as did his six strikeouts on the night. On the downside, he's now allowed a home run in all five of his outings this season.

Andrew Knapp - Outrighted to Triple-A Knapp cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento.

Impact Knapp was DFA'd by the Giants just six days after he signed a major-league contract with the team Aug. 23, and he'll now be sent to Sacramento to serve as an organizational depth piece. The 32-year-old went 1-for-6 during his time in San Francisco.

Austin Warren - Optioned to Triple-A The Giants optioned Warren to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Impact The Giants needed to make room on the pitching staff for Mason Black, who was recalled to start Saturday's game, and Warren will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot. The 28-year-old threw two scoreless innings in his season debut Wednesday versus Milwaukee and could be a candidate to return to San Francisco down the stretch as bullpen depth.

Mason Black - Promoted for start The Giants recalled Black from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his start Saturday versus the Marlins.

Impact The loss of Robbie Ray (hamstring) created an opening in the Giants' rotation, and Black will now come up from the minors to plug the gap. The 24-yera-old righty hasn't been impressive in his MLB career so far (8.79 ERA through 14.1 innings), but he's built some momentum in Triple-A with several consecutive solid outings, and he'll have the benefit in facing a Marlins offense that ranks 29th in the big leagues in total runs scored this year (509). Austin Warren was optioned to Sacramento in a corresponding move.
