SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Mike Yastrzemski - Notches theft Saturday Yastrzemski went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Yastrzemski has gone consecutive games without a hit for the first time since June 18-20, but he's drawn three walks to keep his on-base skills intact. The outfielder also picked up his first steal of the year this season -- he was caught in his only previous attempt on Opening Day. The 31-year-old has a .238/.342/.414 slash line with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 36 runs scored and 16 doubles through 67 contests. Yastrzemski has seen a near-everyday role in the outfield lately, and it doesn't appear he's at risk of losing playing time since LaMonte Wade returned earlier in the week.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Lifts early homer Wade went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Wade has gone 2-for-12 in three games since he returned from a knee injury. The outfielder took the second pitch from Dylan Cease and put it over the fence, though the Giants didn't strike again until the eighth inning. Wade should play regularly against right-handed pitchers while serving primarily as an option in the corner outfield positions. He's batting .216/.318/.378 with two homers, six RBI and five runs scored through 13 games in what's so far been an injury-riddled campaign.

Sean Hjelle will return from the minors to provide length behind Brebbia, who has not thrown more than two innings in an appearance this season.

Camilo Doval - Gives up lone run in loss Doval (2-4) took the loss Friday versus the White Sox, allowing an unearned run on two hits while striking out two and walking none in one inning.

Impact It was Doval's own error that allowed Gavin Sheets to get aboard with one out. Doval struck out Yoan Moncada after that, but allowed a pair of two-out singles that led to a run. The Giants' offense wasn't able to do anything in the bottom of the ninth, leaving the right-hander with the loss. He's surrendered four runs (three earned) in his last five innings. Doval has a 2.88 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 42:13 K:BB across 34.1 innings while adding 12 saves, a hold and two blown saves in 35 outings.

Alex Cobb - Tosses five shutout innings Cobb allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three in five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Friday.

Impact Cobb matched White Sox starter Lance Lynn for five frames, which was the former's longest start since returning from a neck strain. Per Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News, Cobb was removed after five innings to help ease him back in action -- the right-hander had tossed just 67 pitches (42 strikes) before exiting, but it doesn't sound like a setback was involved. He has a 4.94 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 56:15 K:BB in 51 innings across 11 starts overall. Cobb will continue working on stretching out ahead of next week's projected road start in Arizona.

Impact Crawford hit the injured list Sunday with left knee inflammation, but the issue evidently wasn't particularly serious.

Anthony DeSclafani - Returns to injured list DeSclafani was placed on the injured list with ankle inflammation Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact DeSclafani missed two months with the same issue earlier in the season, and he didn't look anything close to good in two starts since his return, giving up 12 runs in 5.2 combined innings. The Giants are worried about the recurrence of the injury, and surgery is on the table, Pavlovic reports. Jakob Junis (hamstring) is expected to eventually fill DeSclafani's spot in the rotation, but the team may have to go with a bullpen game or two until Junis ready to return.

Jason Vosler - Recalled and starting Friday Vosler was recalled by the Giants on Friday and will bat seventh and play third base against the White Sox, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact How long Vosler will remain in the majors is unclear, as he was called up to replace starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle), so it's possible he returns to the minors when the Giants need another starter. Vosler has produced when called upon this season, however, hitting .294/.362/.569 in 17 games. He'll have a good case to stick around if he keeps hitting like that.
