Mike Yastrzemski - Posts pair of steals Yastrzemski went 0-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

Impact All three of Yastrzemski's stolen bases this year have come in July. The outfielder walked, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a passed ball in the third inning, then stole third as the designated runner in the 10th. He's gone 7-for-42 (.167) through 14 games in July, which has seen him occasionally sit out versus left-handed pitchers. For the season, Yastrzemski is slashing .232/.331/.403 with eight home runs, 34 RBI and 40 runs scored in 79 contests.

Camilo Doval - Handed fifth loss Doval (3-5) allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in two innings, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Brewers.

Impact Doval has allowed a run in four of his last five outings, though two of those four runs were unearned in extra-inning losses. He gave up an RBI single to Jonathan Davis in the 10th inning of Thursday's contest. Doval's recent struggles are a little concerning -- he hasn't logged a save since June 28, though the Giants' slump has been a factor in that as much as his own shaky pitching. He still has a 3.03 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB in 38.2 innings across 39 appearances while adding 12 saves, two holds and two blown saves.

Carlos Rodón - Lasts five innings in no-decision Rodon allowed a run on eight hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in five innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Thursday.

Impact After a 112-pitch complete game his last time out, Rodon was significantly less efficient Thursday. He threw 68 of 99 pitches for strikes, but the 11 baserunners he allowed matched a season high. The southpaw was able to limit the damage to an Andrew McCutchen sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. Rodon has a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 131:35 K:BB through 105 innings in 18 starts, and he'll be heading to the All-Star Game next week in Los Angeles.

Impact Villar was not originally in the lineup but will draw his 11th consecutive start after Wilmer Flores (calf) was scratched. Villar has maintained a .258/.385/.452 line across 39 plate appearances this season.

Wilmer Flores - Scratched Thursday Flores was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Brewers due to right calf tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Flores was originally slated to start at third base and hit third in the order. There's no word on the severity of the issue, but David Villar will enter the lineup to hit sixth and play third base.

José Álvarez - Avoiding surgery for now Alvarez will not undergo surgery on his left elbow for the time being,Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Alvarez was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, which means he will be sidelined until at least early September. His elbow inflammation has not improved with treatment, but the Giants are still hoping he will be able to avoid surgery.

Aaron Fletcher - Claimed by Giants Fletcher was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Fletcher was designated for assignment by the Pirates last week but will land a spot with the Giants less than a week later. The southpaw will report to Triple-A Sacramento after he posted a 1.45 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 18.2 innings over 14 Triple-A appearances to begin the year.

José Álvarez - Transferred to 60-day IL Alvarez (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Alvarez was initially diagnosed with left elbow inflammation July 7 when he was deactivated, but his move to the 60-day IL a week later is an indication that season-ending surgery is a strong possibility, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. At the very least, Alvarez will be sidelined until early September as a result of the transaction. The Giants claimed reliever Aaron Fletcher off waivers from the Pirates on Thursday, and he'll fill Alvarez's spot on the 40-man roster.

Wilmer Flores - Homers in Wednesday's win Flores hit a solo home run as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Flores tied the game at 3-3 with his eighth-inning blast. That allowed him to extend his hitting streak to five games, a span in which he's gone 9-for-20 (.450) with four long balls, nine RBI, five runs scored and three doubles. The infielder is up to a .254/.340/.452 slash line with 13 homers, 50 RBI, 45 runs scored and 17 doubles in 82 contests overall. Flores has started to infringe on Thairo Estrada's role at second base, which occasionally bumps Brandon Crawford from the lineup at shortstop against southpaws.

Camilo Doval - Collects win Wednesday Doval (3-4) allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the win Wednesday over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Doval kept the game tied at 3-3 in the ninth inning, and Brandon Crawford hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the frame. This was Doval's first scoreless outing since June 28, though including Wednesday he's made just four appearances since that date due to the Giants' recent struggles. With Jake McGee designated for assignment and Tyler Rogers working more in the middle innings lately, Doval appears entrenched as the closer in San Francisco. He has a 3.19 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB through 36.2 innings while adding 12 saves, two holds and two blown saves in 38 outings.

Tyler Rogers - Seeing more versatile usage Rogers' last two appearances have been longer than one inning.

Impact Entering the season, Rogers was expected to be part of the high-leverage mix. It appears his role has evolved a bit, as he's more often entered games in the middle innings (or even earlier in bullpen games). The change has worked out well -- he's allowed runs just once in his last eight appearances, posting a 1.80 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over his last 10 innings. For the season, the submariner has a 4.25 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB across 42.1 innings while picking up 11 holds and a 1-3 record in 40 appearances. With less late-inning work and poor strikeout numbers, Rogers is unlikely to carry much fantasy appeal.

JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

John Brebbia - Extends scoreless streak Brebbia allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Brebbia was the opener in another bullpen game, so he was never expected to be in line for the win. He's been good in July so far, pitching 6.1 scoreless innings with a 3:3 K:BB and three hits allowed this month. The right-hander's success as an opener could see him continue to get those opportunities when the Giants' rotation is shorthanded. Overall e's produced a 2.33 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB in 38.2 innings across 41 appearances, three of which have been as an opener. He's added a 4-1 record and eight holds, indicating he's earned some high-leverage chances.

Impact Belt took Zac Gallen yard in the seventh inning to record his seventh homer of the season. Across his last four games, Belt has gone 8-for-11 with two homers, two doubles, three RBI and four runs scored. For the season, he owns a .239/.354/.415 line in 189 plate appearances.
