SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Evan Longoria - Stays hot Wednesday Longoria went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers.

Impact All of a sudden, Longoria is red hot. He has multiple hits in four of his last six games, with three homers during that stretch. The third baseman has battled finger, shoulder and hamstring issues already this season, so he may require more days off than in past years, but he can still do damage when on the field.

Alex Wood - Takes loss to Tigers Wood (5-7) was charged with the loss at home against the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out six and did not issue a walk.

Impact Wood took a lead into the sixth inning, but he gave it up on an Eric Haase two-run homer. Health was seen as the big concern with Wood coming into the season, and now he's becoming a performance risk as well. The lefty has given up 13 runs in his last three starts (12 innings) and has a 5.03 ERA for the season.

Jakob Junis - Needs more time before live BP Junis (hamstring) is expected to throw two or three more bullpen sessions before he's cleared to face hitters in live batting practice, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News rep...

Impact Junis felt fine after throwing approximately 20 pitches Tuesday at about 75-to-80 percent effort in what marked his first side session since landing on the 15-day injured list June 11. He's scheduled to throw off a mound again Friday, and if that schedule holds, he'll then throw a third bullpen session Monday. Junis could thus be ready to face hitters by next weekend before potentially embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment during the second week of July. That timeline could make it difficult for Junis to make it back before the All-Star break, though his absence is less of an issue with fellow starting pitchers Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Cobb having returned from the IL earlier this month.

Austin Slater - Slides into reserve role Slater is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Slater had picked up starts in center field in four of the Giants' past five games in the wake of Luis Gonzalez (back) landing on the injured list, but Slater is expected to move into a short-side platoon role moving forward. The Giants welcomed back lefty-hitting outfielder LaMonte Wade (knee) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, and he, Mike Yastrzemski and Joc Pederson will likely compose San Francisco's outfield in most matchups versus right-handed pitching.

JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Wilmer Flores - Heads to bench Flores is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact He'll take a seat in favor of the lefty-hitting Donovan Walton as the Giants stock up on extra left-handed bats to counter Tigers right-hander Rony Garcia. Flores went 2-for-10 with a home run, a double, two walks, three runs and three RBI while starting each of the past three games, and he should have a fairly clear path to a near-everyday role at second base until Brandon Crawford (knee) comes off the injured list.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Officially reinstated from IL Wade (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll bat leadoff and start in right field in the Giants' series finale with the Tigers, according to Maria Guard...

Impact Wade had been sidelined since May 20 due to left knee inflammation, but he appeared in seven rehab games over the last 10 days. During his rehab assignment, he slashed .261/.357/.478 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and four runs. He should work in the strong side of a platoon now that he's back on the active roster.

Yermín Mercedes - Goes to minors The Giants optioned Mercedes to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mercedes was moved off the 26-man active roster to clear room for outfielder LaMonte Wade (knee), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. After being claimed off waivers from the White Sox on July 18 and joining the big club about a week later, Mercedes appeared in two games for the Giants and went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts.

JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

José Álvarez - Begins rehab assignment Alvarez (back) struck out one over a scoreless inning in his rehab appearance Tuesday for Triple-A Sacramento.

Impact Alvarez was placed on the 10-day injured list June 21 with lower-back tightness, but he should be ready to rejoin the Giants' active roster in close to the minimum amount of time. Prior to being shut down with the injury, Alvarez produced a 5.28 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 15.1 innings out of the bullpen.

John Brebbia - Yields run, picks up hold Brebbia allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in one inning, earning a hold in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Tigers.

Impact Brebbia has picked up four holds in his last six outings, allowing two runs (one earned) in five innings in that span. The right-hander has steadied himself after a bumpy May, and he now has a 2.78 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB in 32.1 innings overall. His hold Tuesday was his eighth of the year, and he should continue to serve in a middle-innings role.

JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Camilo Doval - Earns four-out save Doval walked one and struck out two in 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Tigers.

Impact Dominic Leone got into trouble in the eighth inning, but Doval was able to bail him out by striking out Jonathan Schoop with the bases loaded. Doval issued his walk in the ninth, then escaped the jam by getting Javier Baez to ground into a double play. This was Doval's first save since June 18, as he'd seen three straight non-save situations. The hard-throwing righty has a 2.97 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB through 33.1 innings. He's added 12 saves, two blown saves, one hold and a 3-2 record while serving as the Giants' top high-leverage arm.

JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Rodón - Strong in seventh win Rodon (7-4) allowed a run on seven hits and struck out four without walking a batter in six innings, earning the win Tuesday versus the Tigers.

Impact Rodon turned in five shutout frames before Miguel Cabrera tagged him for an RBI single in the sixth. Over his last 27 innings, Rodon has allowed two runs while posting a 30:6 K:BB, winning three of his four starts in that span. The ace lowered his ERA to 2.62 with a 1.09 WHIP and 105:28 K:BB in 86 innings overall. He's lined up for a road start in Arizona next week as he looks to stay hot into July.

Jakob Junis - Completes bullpen session Junis (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Junis was ruled out 4-to-6 weeks after suffering a Grade 2 hamstring strain in mid-June, and he's creeping closer to embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. However, the 29-year-old will first need to advance to facing live batters, and it's unclear when he's expected to do so.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Activation coming Wednesday Wade (knee) has rejoined the Giants and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chr...

Impact Wade appeared in seven games during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento over the past 10 days, and he's ready to rejoin the big-league roster after going 6-for-23 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and four runs. The 28-year-old missed the start of the season due to a bone bruise in his left knee and returned in May to play 10 games, but he quickly returned to the injured list with inflammation in the same knee. He had an .808 OPS with 18 home runs and 56 RBI in 109 games for the Giants last season, and once officially activated the lefty-hitting outfielder will likely work in the strong side of a platoon.

Curt Casali - Sits Tuesday Casali is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Detroit, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Casali will take a seat Tuesday for the second time in the past three games. Austin Wynns will work behind the plate in his place.

Tommy La Stella - On bench versus lefty La Stella is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Tigers, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact La Stella finds himself on the bench for the third consecutive game, this time against Detroit southpaw Tarik Skubal. Yermin Mercedes will bat seventh as the designated hitter.
