Thomas Szapucki - Dealt to San Francisco Szapucki was traded from the Mets to the Giants on Tuesday along with J.D. Davis, Nick Zwack and Carson Seymour in exchange for Darin Ruf, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports...
Impact A lefty who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019, Szapucki's 65.1 total innings this season are his highest mark in a pro season to date, so it's safe to say he does not have the durability to be a starter. At 26 years old and with a 3.38 ERA and 87 strikeouts at Triple-A, he could be ready to help the Giants' bullpen in short order.

Michael Stryffeler - Heads to San Francisco The Giants acquired Stryffeler from the Mariners on Tuesday in exchange for catcher Curt Casali (oblique) and Matthew Boyd (elbow), Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Casali was on an expiring deal and not a part of the Giants' short- or long-term plan, so the Giants opted to cash him out for Stryffeler, a 26-year-old right-handed pitching prospect. Stryffeler was promoted to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday after he turned in a 2.27 ERA and 1.23 WHIP while recording 14 saves and striking out 57 over 35.2 innings for Double-A Arkansas. He'll likely report to the Giants' Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento.

J.D. Davis - Dealt to Giants The Giants acquired Davis and minor-league pitchers Thomas Szapucki, Nick Zwack and Carson Seymour from the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for first baseman/designated hitter Darin Ru...
Impact Davis had been serving as a short-side platoon option at designated hitter for the Mets, and he'll likely fill a similar role in San Francisco now that he's swapping teams with Ruf. The righty-hitting Davis owns a .775 OPS against left-handed pitching for his career.

Wilmer Flores - Pops 16th homer Flores went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Flores' fifth-inning blast was the Giants' lone extra-base hit in the contest. He's gone yard three times in his last six games, and he's up to 16 homers this year. The infielder has added a .251/.330/.455 slash line with 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 20 doubles through 97 games. With both Thairo Estrada (concussion) and Brandon Crawford (knee) out, Flores should be an everyday player at second base for the foreseeable future.

Logan Webb - Roughed up in loss Webb (9-5) allowed six runs on eight hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out just two in five innings as he took the loss versus the Dodgers on Monday.
Impact Webb had a run of eight straight quality starts in June and July, but his last two outings have been less than impressive. He gave up a two-run home run to Max Muncy in the second inning and then let the Dodgers cobble together a three-run rally in the third. He was also tagged for one more run in the fifth. The six runs allowed were a season high for Webb, who now has a 3.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 110:34 K:BB through 135 innings in 22 starts. The good news is that outings like this have been rare for the right-hander, who is projected for a much more favorable road start in Oakland this weekend.

Kervin Castro - Designated for assignment Castro was designated for assignment Monday by the Giants, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Castro did not allow an earned run in 13.1 big-league innings last season, but he has had a rough go of it both with the Giants and at Triple-A Sacramento this year, so the Giants took him off their 40-man roster.

Ford Proctor - Traded to Giants Proctor was traded to the Giants from the Rays on Monday in exchange for pitcher Jeremy Walker, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The Giants were looking for catching depth and, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, were willing to part with one of their many pitching arms in Walker.

Brandon Belt - Held out Monday Belt is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact Belt rarely starts against left-handed pitchers, so it should come as little surprise that he is sitting out Monday with southpaw Andrew Heaney on the bump for the Dodgers. Darin Ruf will start at first base in Belt's place.

Luis González - Records steal in win Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Cubs.
Impact Gonzalez is batting .273 in 10 games since the All-Star break, and he's added a home run, two doubles, three RBI and four runs scored in that span. The outfielder appears to be the Giants' top option in left field while Joc Pederson (concussion) is on the injured list. Gonzalez is slashing .280/.347/.416 with nine steals, four homers, 29 RBI and 24 runs scored in 66 contests overall.
