Hayden Birdsong - Walks three in loss Birdsong (3-3) allowed a run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Athletics on Saturday.
Impact Compared to his previous two outings, this was a fairly good performance. Birdsong avoided giving up a home run, but the Giants didn't give him any run support, leaving the rookie with a third straight loss. He's now at a 5.01 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 49:22 K:BB through 41.1 innings over nine starts this season. Birdsong looks to be the Giants' top option for a fifth starter, and he's tentatively projected to make his next start at Seattle.

Grant McCray - Belts first big-league homer McCray went 2-for-3 with a home run, an additional RBI and a walk in a 6-0 victory versus Atlanta on Thursday.
Impact McCray plated San Francisco's first run on a bunt single in the second inning. His second RBI of the contest came in an entirely different fashion, as he smashed a 404-foot solo shot to center field in the sixth frame. Thursday marked just the second game of McCray's career -- he went 0-for-4 in his MLB debut Wednesday. He hit as many 23 homers in a season in the minors (in 2022), and McCray also has plenty of speed, as he swiped 53 bags in High-A ball in 2023. That's a tantalizing combination from a fantasy perspective, though managers keeping an eye on him should note that he's also struggled to make contact throughout his time as a pro.

Tyler Fitzgerald - Continues to produce Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases Thursday in a 6-0 win against Atlanta.
Impact Fitzgerald began the Giants' half of the first inning with a single, which he followed with a steal of second and third base. The rookie then added a sacrifice fly in the second frame. Fitzgerald has been an incredible pickup for fantasy managers astute enough to claim him off the waiver wire -- through 61 games, he's slashing .311/.365/.617 with 14 homers, 27 RBI, 37 runs and 14 stolen bases. He isn't showing any signs of slowing down, batting .333 (20-for-60) with five home runs and seven thefts through 14 games in August.

Casey Schmitt - Snaps slump Thursday Schmitt went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-0 win against Atlanta.
Impact Schmitt increased San Francisco's lead from 2-0 to 4-0 with his two-run blast in the sixth inning. He finished the game with three hits -- as many as he had tallied over his previous 12 games and 31 at-bats combined. Schmitt's five homers through 80 plate appearances this year are as many as he hit over 277 plate appearances in 2023, but he's also carrying a poor .208/.225/.442 slash line on the season.

Logan Webb - Shuts down Atlanta Webb (11-8) earned the win over Atlanta on Thursday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over 7.1 scoreless innings.
Impact All four of the hits against Webb were singles, and he didn't allow a runner to reach third base until there were two outs in the eighth inning. The right-hander registered his fourth consecutive win, and he has three quality starts during that span. Webb has surrendered just two runs while posting a 25:6 K:BB across 29 innings during the four-start stretch.
