Spencer Bivens - Back in majors The Giants recalled Bivens from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bivens was optioned to Double-A Richmond following his last MLB appearance Aug. 4, but he was later promoted to Triple-A for his most recent outing, during which he allowed two earned runs in one inning. He'll now rejoin San Francisco to give the Giants a multi-inning option out of the bullpen while Randy Rodriguez (elbow) is on the injured list.

Randy Rodríguez - Goes on IL with elbow inflammation The Giants placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right elbow inflammation, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Rodriguez will be eligible to return before the end of the month, but given the nature of the injury it's difficult to say at this point whether he has a chance to be ready by that date. Spencer Bivens has been recalled in a corresponding move.

Michael Conforto - Getting day off versus lefty Conforto is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Conforto will hit the bench for the second time in the series while Atlanta sends another southpaw in Max Fried to the bump. Jerar Encarnacion will spell Conforto in left field.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Brett Wisely - Sitting against southpaw Wisely is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Impact With southpaw Max Fried toeing the rubber for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Wisely will exit the starting nine. Platoon mate Casey Schmitt will check in for Wisely at the keystone.

LaMonte Wade - Getting day off vs. lefty Wade is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Impact He'll retreat to the bench while Atlanta sends southpaw Max Fried to the bump for the series finale. Mark Canha will replace Wade at first base and bat second.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Bailey - Resting up Thursday Bailey is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Bailey will get some maintenance as San Francisco and Atlanta wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Curt Casali will draw the start behind the dish after Bailey caught each of the past five days while going 2-for-20 at the plate.

Grant McCray - Hitless in debut McCray went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Wednesday's 13-2 loss to Atlanta.
Impact McCray's major-league debut was a forgettable one for both him and his team. The outfielder slashed .272/.347/.471 over 47 games with Triple-A Sacramento this year after earning a midseason promotion from Double-A Richmond. McCray's strong defense makes him a candidate to play regularly in center field. The Giants moved Heliot Ramos to left field and Michael Conforto to designated hitter, which could be the usual alignment versus right-handers moving forward, as long as McCray plays well enough to keep his spot in the lineup.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Fitzgerald - Goes yard again Wednesday Fitzgerald went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 13-2 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Fitzgerald continues to show no signs of slowing down -- he's 19-for-56 (.339) with five homers and four doubles over 13 games in August. His blast Wednesday had little impact on the game, as Atlanta had already established a 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning before he responded. Overall, Fitzgerald has 14 homers, 12 stolen bases, 26 RBI, 37 runs scored and a .313/.369/.626 slash line through 195 plate appearances.

Robbie Ray - Roughed up early Ray (2-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing five runs on one hit and three walks over two-thirds of an inning while striking out two. He also beaned two batters.
Impact Ray had a disastrous start to the contest, beaning the first two batters he faced before eventually surrendering a grand slam to Michael Harris. The lefty also issued three walks before being relieved by Sean Hjelle with two outs in the opening frame. It easily marked the shortest start of the campaign for Ray while the five runs allowed also marked a season high. He's now given up at least two runs in four consecutive starts and has walked three batters in three of his last four outings.
