SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Dominic Leone - Collects extra-innings win Leone (4-4) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one in two-thirds of a scoreless inning, earning the extra-innings win over the Rockies on Sunday.

Impact Leone cleaned things up after Alex Young allowed the Rockies to tie the game again in the 10th inning. The Giants went ahead again in the 11th, and Leone ended up with the win after Zack Littell closed out the contest. Through 7.1 innings in August, Leone has allowed five runs, 11 hits and three walks with nine strikeouts. He has a 4.33 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB through 43.2 innings overall, and he's added three saves, 11 holds and four blown saves while functioning as part of the setup mix ahead of closer Camilo Doval.

Zack Littell - Picks up first save Littell pitched a perfect 11th inning to earn the save in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.

Impact Littell was the seventh reliever the Giants deployed in this contest, and he was able to lock things down after Wilmer Flores' sacrifice fly put them ahead in the top of the 11th. Littell has covered three scoreless innings in two appearances since returning from an oblique injury Wednesday. He has a 4.59 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB across 33.1 innings this year, though he's added only one save and three holds as more of a low-leverage reliever. As such, he shouldn't be considered likely to see many additional save chances.

Evan Longoria - Mashes grand slam Longoria went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's extra-innings victory over the Rockies.

Impact The veteran third baseman powered the Giants' offense with a grand slam in the seventh inning, his 11th home run on the campaign. Longoria is now batting .333 with two home runs and seven RBI since his return from the IL on Aug. 8. If he qualified, Longoria would now be seventh among third baseman in slugging percentage, so he could be a sneaky option for fantasy managers looking for a third baseman to plug into their lineup down the stretch.

Jakob Junis - Initial scans negative Junis (hand) underwent scans that came back negative after leaving Sunday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Junis was hit by a comebacker on his glove hand in the bottom of the seventh inning Sunday, but initial test results are encouraging. The right-hander will undergo a CT scan Monday, but it's possible that he avoids a trip to the injured list if he ultimately isn't dealing with structural damage. If he's cleared to make his next start, he projects to start on the road against Minnesota on Sunday.

Jakob Junis - Exits with trainer Junis was removed from Sunday's game against the Rockies in the bottom of the seventh inning after taking a line drive off his left hand, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News r...

Impact Junis started Sunday's matchup and allowed three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out six in 6.2 innings. Although he threw the ball to first base after being hit on his glove hand, he appeared to be in considerable pain and was immediately removed from the game. The severity of his injury isn't yet clear, so his status for his next turn through the rotation remains to be seen.

Donovan Walton - Recalled, goes on 60-day IL The Giants recalled Walton from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronic...

Impact Walton had previously been on Sacramento's 7-day IL with an unspecified injury, but he played in three rehab games with the Giants' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate this week. The 28-year-old suffered an apparent setback during the rehab assignment, however, and he'll now be sidelined for the rest of the season as a result. By calling up the injured Walton and placing him on the 60-day IL, the Giants were able to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for catcher Patrick Mazeika, who was claimed off waivers from the Mets on Sunday.

Joey Bart - Goes deep in loss Bart went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Rockies.

For the season, Bart has a .228/.315/.407 slash line with 10 long balls, 21 RBI, 26 runs scored and two stolen bases, though he's clearly trending in the right direction as he gets more fully adjusted to major-league pitching.

Impact Doval delivered a clean ninth inning on seven pitches to send the game to extras before surrendering a walkoff Brendan Rodgers single with one out in the 10th. The outing accounted for the 25-year-old's first negative result in his last eight appearances and first loss since July 14. He failed to record a strikeout for the first time since July 29 though he's still whiffed an impressive 61 batters in 50.1 innings.

Cobb has submitted quality starts in four of his last five turns, pitching to a 3.30 ERA with 34 strikeouts across 30 innings during the stretch. He carries a 3.99 ERA into his next start, scheduled for next weekend in Minnesota.

Evan Longoria - On bench Saturday Longoria is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Longoria went 0-for-4 in the series opener, and he will now miss out on a Coors Field game as the Giants go with J.D. Davis at third base and Wilmer Flores at DH against right-hander Ryan Feltner. The team has been giving the veteran maintenance days here and there -- easily justified given his history and the fact that he's just getting past a hamstring injury.

Austin Slater - Registers 10th steal Slater went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Slater provided the Giants' last two runs of the game with a pinch hit two-run single in the seventh inning. He stole second but was left on base, and he struck out in the ninth to end the contest. The outfielder has hit safely in three of his last four games, but he's batting just .167 (7-for-42) with four RBI, three runs scored and four steals in 16 games in August. For the season, he owns a .267/.371/.396 slash line with 10 steals, five home runs, 28 RBI and 39 runs scored through 264 plate appearances. He'll likely remain limited to a short-side platoon role in the Giants' lefty-heavy outfield.

Alex Wood - Lit up in loss Wood (8-10) gave up seven earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings to take the loss in a 7-4 defeat against the Rockies on Friday.

Impact Wood was pounded for seven runs in his road start at Coors Field to take his 10th loss of the season. Most the damage came on a pair of home runs by rookie Elehuris Montero who picked up five RBI on the night. The three long balls that Wood surrendered were the most that he had given up in a game all season. Wood's 1.22 WHIP is right in line with his career average and he will look to bounce back from his worst start of the year his next time out in what is tentatively expected to be a matchup against the Twins.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joc Pederson - Hits 18th homer Pederson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-4 loss to the Rockies on Friday.

Impact Pederson snapped his home run drought with a solo shot off Jose Urena to bring his team within striking distance after being down 7-0. It was Pederson's first home run since June 26. After struggling through July with a .133 average, Pederson is 11-for-30 in August. The 30-year-old outfielder is now slashing 254/.328/.500 on the season with 18 homers.
