80-82 · 4TH IN NL WEST

J.D. Davis - In starting lineup Saturday Davis (leg) is in the starting lineup Saturday against the Tigers.
Impact Davis suffered a bruised leg while making a play in the field Friday, but he never exited the game and he will start at third base and bat cleanup Saturday versus Detroit.

Matt Beaty - Recalled from Triple-A Beaty was recalled Saturday from Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Beaty will provide some position player depth for the Giants after they lost Joc Pederson to right wrist inflammation. There's no apparent fantasy upside here.

Joc Pederson - Placed on 10-day IL Pederson was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to April 12, with right wrist inflammation, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact The writing was on the wall that Pederson would need an extended period of rest after he received a cortisone shot Wednesday for this lingering wrist issue. Matt Beaty is up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Thairo Estrada - Big night in Detroit Estrada went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.
Impact Getting the start in left field for the banged-up Giants, Estrada led off the game with his third homer of the season, crushing a 3-2 fastball from Joey Wentz over the wall in center field. Estrada has gone yard in back-to-back games and has produced multi-hit performances in six of 12 contests so far, leading to a .370/.420/.630 slash line that also features six RBI, nine runs and two steals.

Camilo Doval - Stuck with tough loss in extras Doval (0-2) took the loss Friday as the Giants fell 7-5 to the Tigers in 11 innings, giving up three runs (two earned) on only one hit over 1.2 innings. He struck out three.
Impact The closer kept Detroit off the board in the bottom of the 10th inning, but when San Francisco grabbed a 5-4 lead in the top of the 11th, Doval remained on the mound. The right-hander watched second baseman David Villar make a poor decision on defense by trying to get the phantom runner at third base on a slow chopper to lead off the bottom of the frame, and after he struck out the next two batters -- which would have ended the game, had Villar taken the easy out at first base -- Nick Maton turned on a 96.8 mph fastball up in the zone and slugged a walkoff homer on Doval's 21st pitch of the night. He's got more losses than saves (one) right now and an ugly 6.35 ERA, but Doval's 33.3 percent strikeout rate through his first 5.2 innings suggest there's little cause for concern in the long run.
APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Manaea - Early exit in no-decision Manaea didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Tigers, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over 3.1 innings while striking out four.
Impact The veteran lefty needed 82 pitches (53 strikes) to record just 10 outs and exited the game with the Giants down 2-1, but Manaea was taken off the hook for the loss when J.D. Davis (leg) went yard in the eighth to tie things up and force extra innings. Manaea has a 13:4 K:BB in 11.1 innings over his first three appearances (two starts) this season, but that comes with a 4.76 ERA and 4.70 FIP. He'll remain in the rotation for now, and lines up for a road tilt against the Marlins next week.

J.D. Davis - Bruises leg, but doesn't exit game Davis aggravated a bruise on his leg while making a play in the field Friday against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The hard-hitting infielder stayed in the game and kept making plays, finishing 2-for-5 with one home run and three RBI. He has been swinging a hot bat, but the Giants face righty Michael Lorenzen on Saturday, so that might be a good opportunity to let Davis rest his raspberry that aggravated with a skidding over the head catch Friday.

Joc Pederson - Could be headed to IL Pederson got a cortisone shot Wednesday and could land on the injured list with a right wrist injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact It sounds like he's trying to avoid an IL stint, hence the injection, but Pederson is probably a little worse than day-to-day at the moment. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .242/.350/.545 with two home runs, three runs and nine RBI in 10 games.

Thairo Estrada - At leadoff again Friday Estrada is batting leadoff for a second straight game Friday against the Tigers. He's hit leadoff in four of his last five starts, all versus lefties.
Impact Estrada is also making his first start in left field. The dynamic 27-year-old went 2-for-4 with a homer and a walk during his last turn at leadoff Wednesday versus the Dodgers. He boasts a .341./386/.537 slash line through 44 plate appearances coming off his mini breakout in 2022 and should continue to get leadoff looks against left-handed pitching. Joey Wentz is on the mound for Detroit on Friday.

Michael Conforto - Absent from lineup Friday Conforto (calf) is out of the lineup Friday against the Tigers.
Impact Conforto made an early exit from Wednesday's series finale against the Dodgers with left calf tightness and is considered day-to-day leading into the Giants' weekend series at Detroit. Thairo Estrada, Mike Yastrzemski and Heliot Ramos are starting across the outfield Friday. Darin Ruf is the designated hitter.

Austin Slater - Cleared for rehab games Slater (hamstring) was cleared Friday to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact San Francisco is hurting for outfield help, but Slater might spend several days in the minors after missing the final stretch of spring training and the first three weeks of the regular season due to a left hamstring strain. He's not expected to join the Giants on their current road trip, which runs through next Wednesday.
APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Hjelle - Recalled from Triple-A Hjelle was recalled Friday from Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Hjelle was just sent down Wednesday, but the Giants had an opening on their 26-man roster after having to place outfielder Bryce Johnson on the 7-day concussion IL. Hjelle will get another look out of the bullpen.
