SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Thairo Estrada - Likely headed for injured list Estrada will likely be placed on the 7-day injured list after being hit in the head by a pitch in Saturday's game against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle rep...

Impact Estrada didn't lose consciousness and was able to leave the field under his own power with the help of the Giants' training staff. However, he was experiencing dizziness and trouble with his eyes after the game. As a result, he could be sidelined for a lengthy period of time. That will leave the Giants extremely shorthanded at shortstop as Brandon Crawford (knee) is also on the injured list, and Slusser reports that Donovan Walton (undisclosed) is sidelined at Triple-A Sacramento. That leaves Isan Diaz as a potential option to join the team Sunday.

Luis González - Empty line in return Gonzalez (back) went 0-for-5 in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Gonzalez missed Thursday's game with a back injury, and he wasn't able to do anything in his return to the lineup a day later. With Joc Pederson (concussion) on the injured list, Gonzalez will have less competition for playing time over the next week. The 26-year-old will still need to take advantage of it -- he's gone 7-for-25 (.280) in eight games since the All-Star break, and he's slashing .282/.348/.408 with three home runs, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 64 contests overall.

Wilmer Flores - Accounts for offense Friday Flores went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Flores accounted for the Giants' run production Friday with his ninth-inning blast. This was his first multi-hit performance since July 11 -- in the 14 games in between, he hit just .182 with five extra-base hits. The infielder has a .248/.329/.448 slash line with 15 homers, 55 RBI, 53 runs scored and 20 doubles through 95 contests.

Alex Cobb - Strikes out 11 in hard-luck loss Cobb (3-5) allowed a run on three hits, a walk and a hit batter while striking out 11 in six innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Cubs.

Impact Cobb allowed a solo home run to Patrick Wisdom in the fifth inning, which accounted for the only run in the game before the ninth. The Cubs added three more in the final frame, and the Giants' comeback effort fell short. Cobb recorded quality starts in four of his six outings in July, allowing 13 runs (11 earned) across 36 innings. He's gone 10 starts without a win despite pitching well. For the season, he owns a 4.06 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 85:23 K:BB through 82 innings in 16 appearances. The right-hander is lined up for a tough home start versus the Dodgers next week.
