Darin Ruf - Slugs first career grand slam Ruf went 1-for-3 with a grand slam in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.
Impact LaMonte Wade began the game as San Francisco's designated hitter and leadoff man, but Ruf came in to replace him during an at-bat in the sixth inning. That plate appearance resulted in a strikeout, but Ruf made his mark in his following trip to the plate, slugging a game-tying grand slam to center field. The grand slam was the first of his career, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. Ruf has now homered in three consecutive contests, pushing his total to 10 on the season.

Carlos Rodón - Struggles against Dodgers Rodon allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.
Impact Rodon had been dealing with a blood blister and a split nail on his pitching hand prior to the All-Star break, so he opted not to throw in the Tuesday's All-Star Game and instead used the time off to try to recover. Though he was able to start San Francisco's first game following the exhibition contest, it's not clear if the finger issues affected him Thursday. What is clear is that the southpaw had one of his poorest outings of the season, giving up just his fifth homer of the campaign -- a solo shot by Freddie Freeman in the first inning -- and allowing five runs for only the second time through 19 starts. Still, it wasn't a totally inept appearance for the southpaw, as he racked up 17 swinging strikes and seven punchouts against one of the league's best offenses.

Trevor Rosenthal - Won't contribute immediately Rosenthal (hamstring) is "several weeks" away from appearing in a game with the Giants, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Rosenthal signed with the Giants on Thursday, but his debut with the team is not imminent. He's begun throwing off a mound recently but will need a rehab assignment prior to being activated from the injured list. Depending on how quickly Rosenthal can return, he may be a candidate to pick up saves as manager Gabe Kapler remarked that Rosenthal "is just healthy away from being one of the more effective closers in the game."

Tommy La Stella - Ready for rehab assignment La Stella (illness) will begin a rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Mauricio Llovera - Transferred to 60-day IL Llovera (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Llovera sustained a Grade 2 right flexor strain last week and will be unavailable for at least two months due to the injury. It's not yet known whether the Giants expect him to return for the final few weeks of the regular season, but the team signed Trevor Rosenthal (hamstring) to a one-year contract Thursday.

Trevor Rosenthal - Signs with Giants Rosenthal signed a one-year, $4.5 million contract with the Giants on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Rosenthal dealt with a cramp in his hamstring area following a showcase in early June, and he'll land on the injured list due to the issue. He's rehabbing in Arizona, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. The right-hander hasn't pitched in the majors since 2020 due to shoulder and hip issues that he dealt with last year. Rosenthal has earned double-digit saves in four of his last five seasons. However, given his lengthy layoff, he'll likely take on some lower-leverage work once cleared to pitch at the big-league level.

David Villar - Sits against righty Villar is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact After sitting against lefty Aaron Ashby and the Brewers in the Giants' final game before the All-Star break July 17, the righty-hitting Villar now finds himself on the bench against Dodgers right-hander Mitch White in San Francisco's first contest of the second half. Even though Tommy La Stella (illness) is still stuck on the COVID-19-related injured list and Thairo Estrada is filling in at shortstop while Brandon Crawford (knee) is on the IL, Wilmer Flores may be ahead of Villar for playing time in the middle infield. Flores will pick up his second straight start at the keystone.

Austin Slater - Remains in short-side platoon role Slater is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Slater closed the first half by starting in five of the Giants' last six games, but he benefited from the team opposing three left-handed starting pitchers in that stretch. With all of Joc Pederson, Mike Yastrzemski, Luis Gonzalez and LaMonte Wade healthy and available heading into the second half of the season, Slater will remain stuck in a short-side platoon role.
