Evan Longoria - Goes yard in loss Longoria went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Reds.

Impact Longoria's hitting streak is up to five games, during which he's gone 7-for-18 (.389). The third baseman hadn't homered since May 30 prior to Friday's long ball in the fourth inning. He's slashing .238/.322/.457 with six homers, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored and five doubles through 36 contests overall.

Alex Cobb - Can't escape fifth inning in loss Cobb (3-3) took the loss during Friday's 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Reds, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Impact Cobb surrendered two runs on four hits in the second inning, then was pulled in the fifth with two on and one out after a run scored on an error. Cobb is yet to make it through five innings in two starts since coming off the IL and is averaging 4.2 per start through 10 turns, though his 9.9 K/9 and 3.8 K/BB would both rank in the top 25 if he had enough innings to qualify. The 34-year-old is slated to pitch again versus the White Sox next week.

Yunior Marte - Called up by San Francisco Marte was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marte was last in the majors for one day in mid-May, and he'll rejoin the big-league club ahead of Friday's matchup with the Reds. The right-hander has given up eight earned runs over 9.1 innings for the Giants this year, but he's pitched well for Sacramento with a 3.57 ERA and 0.81 WHIP.

Zack Littell - Sent to Triple-A Littell was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Littell pitched Thursday against Atlanta and allowed one run over three innings, and he'll head to the minors in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. The 26-year-old has a 4.97 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 25:3 K:BB across 29 major-league innings this season.

Thairo Estrada - Out of Friday's lineup Estrada is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Estrada started the past 15 games and will head to the bench Friday after posting a .231/.310/.385 slash line during that stretch. Donovan Walton will start at the keystone and bat eighth for San Francisco.

Brandon Crawford - Rejoining lineup Friday Crawford (knee) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Crawford missed the past two games after suffering a bruised left knee Tuesday, but he's tentatively in the lineup for Friday's contest. The 35-year-old will need to go through a pre-game workout before being fully cleared to take the field, but as of now he's expected to play versus Cincinnati.

Evan Longoria - Reaches three times in loss Longoria went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Longoria struggled in the middle of June while battling a hamstring injury, but he's starting to gain some traction at the plate. He's gone 5-for-15 (.333) with a pair of walks, a double and three runs scored across his last four games. If he can stay healthy, the third baseman could get rolling. He's slashing .225/.307/.422 with five home runs, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and five doubles in 35 contests overall this year.

Austin Slater - Blasts homer Thursday Slater went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Thursday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Slater made a relatively rare start against a right-hander Thursday, and he held his ground. He took Atlanta starter Kyle Wright deep for a solo shot in the fifth inning, which was Slater's third in his last 10 games and his fifth of the year. The outfielder is up to a .260/.379/.469 slash line with 17 RBI, 19 runs scored and three stolen bases. At least until LaMonte Wade (knee) returns, Slater appears to have a grip on a starting role in center field while Mike Yastrzemski covers for Luis Gonzalez (back) in right.

Joc Pederson - Homers in loss Thursday Pederson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Pederson's ninth-inning blast got the Giants within a run, but they weren't able to tie the game. The outfielder has homered three times in his last seven games, giving him 16 on the year. He hadn't posted a multi-hit effort since June 10, and he now has a .271/.348/.571 slash line with 38 RBI, 31 runs scored and two stolen bases across 200 plate appearances. He rarely plays against southpaws, but the Giants' outfield is not at full health with LaMonte Wade (knee) on a rehab assignment and Luis Gonzalez (back) landing on the injured list Thursday, so Pederson could see a small uptick in playing time in the short term.

Alex Wood - Disastrous against Atlanta Wood (5-6) allowed six earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one across one inning to take the loss Thursday against Atlanta.

Impact Wood got through the first inning having allowed only a solo home run. However, he was completely unable to locate his pitches in the second inning, walking two and hitting another batter with a pitch. Wood wasn't hit all that hard in the frame, as he allowed only three singles -- two of which didn't leave the infield. Even so, it was a disastrous outing for Wood and marked the third time this season he's allowed five or more earned runs in an outing. Overall, he owns a 5.05 ERA with 65:20 K:BB across 67.2 frames on the season.
