Logan Webb - Sunday's game postponed Webb and the Giants won't play Sunday against the Tigers after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Webb was slated to make his fourth start of the season Sunday, but the game was called off following a five-hour delay. The Giants haven't revealed their updated pitching plans for their three-game series in Miami early next week, but Webb did some throwing work in the outfield Sunday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him pitch against the Marlins at some point.

Michael Conforto - Hopeful to return Monday Giants manager Gabe Kapler told reporters before Sunday's game against the Tigers that Conforto (calf) wasn't able to run Saturday but he's hopeful he can return to the starting li...
Impact Conforto will be out of the starting lineup for the third consecutive game while dealing with tightness in his left calf, but he has appeared off the bench in the previous two contests. Even if the 30-year-old outfielder doesn't play Monday against the Marlins there's a very good chance he's back in action in the early part of the week.

Michael Conforto - Out of lineup again Sunday Conforto (calf) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact It's the third consecutive absence from the lineup for Conforto since he exited Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to left calf tightness. However, the 30-year-old appeared as a pinch hitter the past two games (going 0-for-1 with walk), so it shouldn't be too long before he's back in the starting nine.

Brandon Crawford - Takes seat against southpaw Crawford is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Crawford will take the seat against left-hander Matthew Boyd for the series finale against the Tigers. Thairo Estrada is leading off and playing shortstop as the Giants look for the sweep.

Taylor Rogers - Gets walked off Rogers (0-2) allowed an unearned run on one hit while failing to record an out, taking the loss in extra innings Saturday versus the Tigers.
Impact Miguel Cabrera pinch hit for Akil Baddoo and delivered a walkoff single against Rogers in the 11th inning. Rogers has failed to record an out in each of his last two appearances, and he's only kept runs off the board in one of his six games this season. He owns an ugly 18.90 ERA, 3.30 WHIP and 1:6 K:BB across 3.1 innings. With Rogers struggling, most high-leverage work is likely to go to Camilo Doval and Tyler Rogers in the near term.

J.D. Davis - Clubs fourth homer Davis went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.
Impact His two-run blast in the third inning off Michael Lorenzen gave the Giants a 6-1 lead, but the defense and bullpen ended up squandering it as San Francisco got walked off by Detroit in the 11th inning for the second straight day. Davis has had a great start to 2023 despite the struggles of the team around him, batting .341 (14-for-41) through 13 games with four homers and 13 RBI.

Blake Sabol - Slugs second homer Sabol went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.
Impact The 25-year-old rookie gave the Giants a 4-0 lead in the second inning by launching a Michael Lorenzen offering to right field. It's Sabol's second homer of the season in his 12th big-league game, but he's batting only .194 (7-for-36) with a 1:15 BB:K. He'll continue seeing sporadic playing time between catcher and left field, but he's a risky fantasy option as long as his plate discipline issues remain.

Anthony DeSclafani - Settles for quality start DeSclafani didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Tigers, giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits over 6.2 innings. He struck out five wi...
Impact The veteran right-hander seemed to have the game well in hand heading into the bottom of the fifth inning, but a couple uncharacteristic errors by Brandon Crawford allowed Detroit to close the gap to 6-3. DeSclafani still exited the game in the seventh after 105 pitches (69 strikes) in line for his second win, but for the second straight game, the Giants' bullpen imploded late. The 32-year-old appears healthy and back in his 2021 form to begin the current campaign, posting a 1.42 ERA and 16:0 K:BB through three quality starts and 19 innings, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, likely to come next week at home against the Mets.

Michael Conforto - Not in lineup Saturday Conforto (calf) is not in Saturday's lineup versus the Tigers, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact While Conforto will be out of the starting lineup for the second game in a row, he will be available to pinch hit again. The outfielder drew a walk in his lone plate appearance off the bench Friday, so he may be an option to start in Sunday's series finale against Detroit.
