SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS 80-82 · 4TH IN NL WEST
80-82 · 4TH IN NL WEST
Former Mets star suddenly looks like Gold Glove infielder The San Francisco Giants lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-0, on Thursday.
Brandon Crawford - Picks up third steal Crawford went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Crawford seems to be taking advantage of the larger bases -- he's up three steals in 20 contests, a pace that would allow him to challenge his career-high 11 thefts from 2021. The shortstop will need to get on base at a higher clip to keep it up, as he's slashing a meager .159/.237/.304 with three home runs, nine RBI and five runs scored over 76 plate appearances.

Thairo Estrada - Keeps running wild Estrada went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a hit-by-pitch in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact This was the third game in a row with a steal for Estrada, who is up to nine thefts this season. The second baseman has also hit safely in nine of his last 10 contests, going 12-for-39 with six steals and nine runs scored in that span. He's posted a .326/.379/.505 slash line with four home runs, seven RBI and 19 runs scored over 107 plate appearances.

Logan Webb - Gets no support in loss Webb dropped to 1-5 with a loss against St. Louis on Thursday. He pitched 6.2 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.
Impact Webb was brilliant through six frames, keeping the Cardinals off the scoreboard and retiring 10 straight batters. He finally wilted in the seventh, allowing a solo homer and three singles to fall behind 2-0. San Francisco never managed to push across a run, causing Webb to take his fifth defeat of the campaign. That's the most losses of any hurler in the majors this season, but Webb hasn't been terrible -- he's recorded a 4.10 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and an outstanding 43:5 K:BB across 37.1 frames.

Joey Bart - Out again Thursday Bart (groin) remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals.
Impact It's the third straight absence for Bart as he works through a bout of right groin tightness. Blake Sabol is catching and batting seventh for the Giants on Thursday afternoon.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Yastrzemski - Returns to lineup Thursday Yastrzemski (side) is back in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.
Impact Yastrzemski was a late scratch from Wednesday's game due to tightness in his left side, but it's clearly nothing too concerning. He'll play center field and bat sixth in Thursday's matinee game against the Cardinals and right-hander Miles Mikolas.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Sabol - Adds steal in win Sabol went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Sabol hit a two-out single in the fourth inning, stole second and scored on an Austin Slater single to tie the game at 2-2. It's been a good stretch of late for Sabol, who has gone 6-for-14 (.429) with two home runs, four RBI, a steal and four runs scored over his last five games. His recent run of playing time behind the dish will likely end when Joey Bart (groin) returns to the lineup.

Austin Slater - Notches first steal Slater went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Slater's off to a fantastic start since returning from a hamstring strain. He's gone 4-for-7 across two games, and he's already recorded his first steal of the season. The outfielder remains a short-side platoon option, but he's recorded double-digit thefts in each of the last two years, so he could provide some extra speed in deeper fantasy formats.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
LaMonte Wade Jr. - Goes deep in win Wade went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a walk and two total RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 victory versus St. Louis.
Impact Wade was originally out of the lineup Wednesday, but he was added as the Giants' starting right fielder when Mike Yastrzemski was scratched due to a left side injury. Wade took advantage of the opportunity, hitting a solo homer to center in the fourth inning and producing a run-scoring triple in the eighth. He's hitting just .237 this season, but six of his 14 hits have gone for extra bases.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wilmer Flores - Knocks fourth homer Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win against the Cardinals.
Impact Flores went deep in the seventh inning, swatting a two-run shot to give the Giants a 6-2 lead. The veteran infielder is up to four homers on the season, putting him on pace to reach 20 homers in a campaign for the first time in his career. Flores has complemented the moderate power with a .278/.316/.486 slash line and nine RBI across 76 plate appearances.

Goldschmidt leads Cardinals against the Giants after 4-hit game
The St. Louis Cardinals take on the San Francisco Giants after Paul Goldschmidt had four hits against the Giants on WednesdayAPRIL 27, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Thairo Estrada - Records three hits, steals base Estrada went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-3 victory over St. Louis.
Impact Estrada has been a catalyst on offense all season for San Francisco, and Wednesday was no different. He reached base three times and recorded his ninth multi-hit effort through 23 games thus far. Estrada is slashing an impressive .326/.374/.511 with four homers, seven RBI and seven thefts through 99 plate appearances.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Camilo Doval - Induces double play to earn save Doval picked up a save against the Cardinals on Wednesday, walking one batter and keeping St. Louis off the scoreboard over two-thirds of an inning.
Impact It didn't look like Doval would be needed with San Francisco up 7-2 entering the ninth, but Sean Hjelle gave up two walks and a double to yield a run and allow the tying run to get to the on-deck circle with just one out. Doval was summoned from the bullpen and walked Lars Nootbaar to begin his outing, but he escaped the jam by getting Paul Goldschmidt to bounce into a game-ending double play. Doval's performance earned him his third save of the campaign, two of which have come over his past three appearances.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony DeSclafani - Bounces back with win DeSclafani (2-1) earned the win over St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings.
Impact DeSclafani served up two solo homers -- both by Paul Goldschmidt -- in his first three innings of work, but those were the only runs the Cardinals managed against him. The right-hander induced 13 swinging strikes and punched out six batters en route to his fourth quality start over his first five outings this season. DeSclafani has been a pleasant surprise for the Giants and his fantasy managers thus far, posting a 2.70 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 27:3 K:BB across 30 innings.
