Impact The left-handed pitcher is removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Cal Stevenson after Stevenson was acquired from Oakland. If Long goes unclaimed he will likely report back to Triple-A Sacramento where he's struggled to a 9.90 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 10 innings of work.

The 26-year-old has produced a .348 average with two doubles, two RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen based over 23 at-bats with Triple-A Las Vegas so far this season.

Blake Sabol - Sitting against lefty Sabol is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The lefty-hitting Sabol will sit for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming when Miami has brought left-handers Jesus Luzardo and Trevor Rogers to the hill. Joey Bart will handle catching duties Wednesday while Heliot Ramos covers left field in the series finale.
APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Crawford - Sitting versus lefty Crawford will take a seat Wednesday against the Marlins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact With left-hander Trevor Rogers on the mound for Miami, Crawford will exit the lineup for the series finale. Thairo Estrada will take over at shortstop and bat leadoff versus Miami.
APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Conforto - Remains out Wednesday Conforto (calf) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Marlins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact It has now been a week since Conforto has made a start as he continues to deal with a calf issue. That being said, the team likely believes that the outfielder is on the cusp of a return considering the fact that they haven't placed him on the injured list. LaMonte Wade will start in right field and bat ninth in the series finale against Miami.

Alex Wood - Placed on 15-day IL Wood (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Wood exited his start Tuesday versus the Marlins in the third inning after he sustained a left hamstring strain and he will now be unavailable for at least 15 days while he nurses the issue. In his place, Tristan Beck was called up from Triple-A Sacramento and will likely replace Wood in the Giants' rotation for the time being. Considering it's a relatively minor lower body injury, the left-hander doesn't seem to be in danger of a prolonged absence.
APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tristan Beck - Called up Wednesday Beck was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Beck will join the Giants ahead of their series finale against the Marlins, replacing Alex Wood (hamstring), who was added to the 15-day injured list. Beck had been starting for Sacramento, producing a 3.38 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with nine punchouts over 13.1 innings. Though the Giants have an opening in the rotation with Wood on the shelf, Ross Stripling is expected to get the first chance to replace the southpaw, so Beck may be on hand with the big club as a long-relief option.

J.D. Davis - Tallies three hits Davis went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins.
Impact Davis has multiple hits in three of his last four games. He's added six RBI and two runs scored in that span, but he wasn't involved in the Giants' lone run-producing play Tuesday, which was a two-run home run by Mike Yastrzemski in the first inning. Davis is slashing .347/.389/.633 with four home runs, 13 RBI, seven runs scored and two doubles through 54 plate appearances. His solid hitting has earned him a near-everyday role to begin 2023.
APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Thairo Estrada - Records third steal Estrada went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins.
Impact Estrada has gone 8-for-23 (.348) with four extra-base hits, two RBI and six runs scored over his last five games. His steal Tuesday was his first since April 3. The second baseman continues to see steady playing time, and he's made the most of it with a strong .333/.385/.550 slash line with three steals, three home runs, six RBI and 11 runs scored through 15 contests.
APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jakob Junis - Takes loss in relief outing Junis (2-1) allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out one over 2.2 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Marlins.
Impact Junis was responsible for Jazz Chisholm's three-run home run in the fourth inning, and the Giants' offense didn't bounce back from it. With starter Alex Wood (hamstring) likely headed for the injured list, one of Junis or Ross Stripling, who both pitched Tuesday, should get a look in the rotation. Stripling is a bit more stretched out, having covered 12.1 innings over four games compared to Junis' 12.2 innings in five appearances. Junis has struggled to a 4.26 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB this season while filling a swingman role.

Alex Wood - Diagnosed with hamstring strain Wood left Tuesday's start against the Marlins with a left hamstring strain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Wood picked up the injury while fielding a sacrifice fly in the third inning of his start against the Marlins. The left-hander should be considered day-to-day for now, but there's a very good chance he'll need to miss a start or two depending on the severity of the strain.
