SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS 80-82 · 4TH IN NL WEST
80-82 · 4TH IN NL WEST
Ranking the Giants' offseason priorities: Where the roster needs the biggest upgrades Outside of signing Aaron Judge and trading for Shohei Ohtani, these are the easiest ways for the Giants to upgrade their 2023 roster.
Joc Pederson - Out against lefty Pederson isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's contest with the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Pederson -- along with his .679 OPS against lefties -- will take a seat Tuesday as Kyle Freeland will begin the game for Colorado. In Pederson's place, Austin Slater will pick up a start in left field and lead off for the Giants.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Crawford - Sitting versus lefty Crawford isn't starting Tuesday against Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact The left-handed bat of Crawford will begin Tuesday's game in the dugout with the left-handed arm of Kyle Freeland starting for the Rockies. Thairo Estrada will take his spot at shortstop, moving Wilmer Flores to second base, David Villar to designated hitter, and giving J.D. Davis a chance to start at first base while batting fifth.

Wilmer Flores - Three hits, two RBI in win Flores went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 10-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies.
Impact Flores is starting to find some traction at the plate again, going 6-for-14 with four RBI over his last three games after slumping for much of the first half of September. The infielder is back up to a .235/.316/.412 slash line with 19 home runs, 69 RBI, 67 runs scored and 27 doubles through 139 games in what's been a career year for him in terms of counting stats.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Camilo Doval - Earns win Monday Doval (6-6) allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning, earning the extra-inning win over the Rockies on Monday.
Impact Doval has yet to allow a run in September, tossing 8.2 scoreless innings with an 11:1 K:BB across eight appearances this month. His outing Monday kept the score tied at 7-7 before Thairo Estrada put the Giants ahead for good with a three-run home run in the 10th inning. Doval's ending an up-and-down year on a positive note -- he now has a 2.45 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 75:27 K:BB while adding 23 saves through 62.1 innings.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Luciano - Added to Double-A playoff roster Luciano is joining Double-A Richmond on Tuesday for their postseason, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact This move makes sense on several fronts. First, it allows Luciano to make up for the time he has missed this season with back and leg injuries (played in 57 games at High-A). Second, it will give Luciano his first exposure to upper-level pitching. He hit .263/.339/.459 with 10 home runs, a .195 ISO, a 22.2 percent strikeout rate and a 9.6 percent walk rate in 230 plate appearances. Luciano, who will be added to the 40-man roster this offseason, figures to spend a good chunk of next season at Double-A.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Yastrzemski - Goes deep in win Yastrzemski went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two total RBI and two total runs Monday in a 10-7 extra-inning victory versus the Rockies.
Impact Yastrzemski swatted one of two San Francisco homers in the win, slugging a 430-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. He also knocked in a run with a single in the fifth. This was his first game with multiple RBI since Aug. 12. It was a much-needed positive performance for Yastrzemski after he had gone 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over his previous five games.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Thairo Estrada - Slugs winning homer Estrada went 3-for-6 with a three-run home run and a double in Monday's 10-7 extra-inning win over Colorado.
Impact Estrada propelled San Francisco to victory with his three-run shot in the 10th inning. The long ball was his 14th of the season and third in September. Estrada has become a viable fantasy asset for the first time this season, complementing his modest homer total with 19 stolen bases and a respectable .266/.326/.416 slash line over 495 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Scott Alexander - Secures second save Alexander earned a save against the Rockies on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect 10th inning.
Impact Usual closer Camilo Doval pitched a scoreless ninth inning to send the game to an extra frame, and Alexander got the call after San Francisco scored three times in the top of the 10th. The left-hander needed only nine pitches to retire the side in order and notch his second save. Both have come in the past eight days, and Alexander hasn't given up a run across four innings during that stretch.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jakob Junis - Hit hard in no-decision Junis allowed six runs (five earned) on 12 hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings against Colorado on Monday. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact As has been the case for countless hurlers in Colorado, Junis' stuff simply wasn't working Monday, as he gave up a season-high 12 hits (four of which went for extra bases). However, Rockies starter Chad Kuhl had nearly as difficult a time, and Junis avoided taking a third straight loss. The right-hander has given up at least four earned runs in three of his past five starts and has logged a 7.13 ERA and 1.83 WHIP during that difficult stretch.

John Brebbia - Starting bullpen game Brebbia will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Brebbia is set to handle the first inning or two before handing the ball to the primary pitcher, who has yet to be named. He owns a 4.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with a 6:3 K:BB over his last 10 appearances (nine innings).

Heliot Ramos - Returns to minors Ramos was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ramos' latest stint in the big leagues lasted only a few days, as he went 0-for-7 with a walk and two runs scored after being promoted Saturday. Austin Slater (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Slater - Back in action Slater (hand) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Slater has spent the last few weeks on the IL due to a left hand sprain, but he ramped up baseball activities over the weekend and has since been activated. He figures to serve as outfield depth down the stretch for San Francisco.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Carlos Rodón - Start pushed to Friday Rodon's next start will be moved to Friday against the Diamondbacks due to a blister and cracked nail on his left hand, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact It was initially believed that Rodon was on track to make his scheduled start Tuesday in Colorado, but the team has decided to exercise caution by giving him a few extra days to recover. The Giants have yet to name Tuesday's starter following this change of plans.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Evan Longoria - Not in lineup Monday Longoria isn't starting Monday against Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Longoria has a .390 OPS in September and zero hits in the past week. He will begin Monday's game in the dugout while David Villar will start at third base. LaMonte Wade will move over to first base and Luis Gonzalez will pick up a start in right field, batting eighth.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Bart - Riding pine Monday Bart isn't in the lineup Monday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
LaMonte Wade Jr. - Back in action Monday Wade (side) is back in the lineup Monday playing first base and batting leadoff, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wade hasn't started a game since being scratched ahead of Friday's game against the Dodgers, but he was able to make three plate appearances Sunday after pinch-hitting for Joey Bart. The 28-year-old is batting .250 during the month of September.
