SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Brandon Crawford - Back in action Friday Crawford (quadriceps) is starting Friday against the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Crawford was out of the lineup in the last two games due to right quadriceps tightness, but he appeared as a pinch hitter in each matchup. The 35-year-old will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Friday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Marco Luciano - Dealing with minor back issue Luciano was placed on the 7-day injured list with High-A Eugene on Friday due to lower-back tightness, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.

Impact Luciano has already missed just shy of a week with the injury, though the Giants reportedly don't believe it to be a serious issue. Assuming that's the case, the 20-year-old should return soon to build on his promising start with Eugene, where he's hit .288/.360/.507 with eight homers in 40 games.

Giants commit four errors that are costly beyond unearned runs in a 4-2 loss to the Rockies The Giants committed three errors behind Webb in the fourth inning and the right-hander did well to limit the damage to three runs.

Austin Wynns - Two hits in loss Wynns went 2-for-2 with an RBI in a 4-2 loss Thursday against Colorado.

Impact Wynns was acquired from the Phillies on Wednesday and made his first big-league appearance of the season Thursday, singling in each of his plate appearances. The 31-year-old has a career .221/.259/.330 line with nine homers in 116 major-league games over four seasons. He will likely serve as the Giants' backup to Curt Casali while Joey Bart attempts to figure it out at Triple-A Sacramento.

Logan Webb - One rough inning in loss Webb (5-2) took the loss Thursday against Colorado, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out three in 5.2 innings.

Impact The first five Rockies batters reached base to begin the fourth inning against Webb. Two reached on errors and the Giants committed a third error in the field allowing runners to advance. All three runs against Webb came around to score as a result. The 25-year-old has been competitive but unspectacular through 12 starts this season, amassing a 3.77 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 59:17 K:BB. His next start will likely be early next week against Kansas City.

Tommy La Stella - Takes seat against left-hander La Stella isn't starting Thursday against the Rockies, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact La Stella went 1-for-9 with three strikeouts over the last two games, and he'll get a breather with southpaw Austin Gomber on the mound Thursday. Wilmer Flores is serving as the designated hitter while Darin Ruf takes over at first base.

Curt Casali - Riding pine Thursday Casali isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Colorado, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact The 33-year-old started in the last three games and went 2-for-8 with a double, two runs, a walk and three strikeouts. While Casali is in line to serve as the primary catcher after Joey Bart was sent down Wednesday, Austin Wynns will start behind the dish and bat eighth Thursday.

Joc Pederson - On bench against southpaw Pederson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rockies, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Left-hander Austin Gomber is starting for the Rockies on Thursday, so Pederson will retreat to the bench after he went 1-for-8 with a run and four strikeouts over the last two games. Luis Gonzalez, Austin Slater and Mike Yastrzemski will start in the outfield from left to right.

Brandon Crawford - Remains out of lineup Crawford (quadriceps) isn't starting Thursday against the Rockies, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Crawford was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to right quadriceps tightness, but he went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter. He'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game Thursday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him available off the bench once again. Donovan Walton will shift to shortstop while Thairo Estrada starts at second base.

Mike Yastrzemski - Three hits in extra-inning win Yastrzemski went 3-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Rockies.

Impact Yastrsemki was the only Giant to record multiple hits in the contest. Prior to Wednesday, he was mired in an 0-for-11 skid with two walks and five strikeouts, so it was encouraging to see him snap the slump. The outfielder has posted a solid .288/.395/.471 slash line with five home runs, 21 RBI, 29 runs scored and 13 doubles, though he was also caught stealing on his only attempt through 46 games this year.

Camilo Doval - Picks up win Wednesday Doval (1-2) earned the win Wednesday, striking out one in a perfect inning versus the Rockies.

Impact Doval was brought in for the 10th inning and kept the game tied. He got the win when the Giants scored the winning run in their half of the frame. After a shaky stretch to end May that seeped into June saw him allow seven runs (four earned) in five innings, he's bounced back with three straight scoreless appearances. The right-hander has a 3.04 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 26:9 K:BB, eight saves and two blown saves through 23.2 innings this season.

JUNE 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luis González - Reaches three times, swipes bag Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base Wednesday in a 2-1 extra-inning win over the Rockies.

Impact Gonzalez walked multiple times in a game for the first time this season, and he swiped his fourth bag of the campaign in the eighth inning. His lone hit came in the 10th, when his one-out single led to the game-winning run as a result of an error by Charlie Blackmon. Gonzalez is batting just .176 through 17 at-bats in June, but he still owns a healthy .322/.376/.441 slash line on the season.

JUNE 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Wood - Settles for no-decision Wood allowed one run on five hits and no walks while striking out five over seven innings against Colorado on Wednesday, but he didn't factor in the decision.

Impact Wood hurled seven innings for the first time this season and yielded only a third-inning run, but San Francisco's offense was unable to offer much run support. The left-hander thus stretched his streak of starts without a win to five, though he has given up more than three runs only once in that span. Wood is 3-5 on the campaign while compiling a 4.23 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 55:15 K:BB across 55.1 innings.

Brandon Crawford - May sit again Thursday Crawford (quadriceps) could be held out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Crawford was scratched from Wednesday's starting nine due to right quadriceps tightness after going through a pre-game workout, though he still entered the game as a pinch hitter. If the 35-year-old is withheld from Thursday's lineup, he'll likely again be available off the bench.

Wilmer Flores - Late addition to lineup Flores is starting at third base and batting third Wednesday against the Rockies.

Impact The 30-year-old was originally absent from Wednesday's starting nine but will join the lineup with Brandon Crawford (quadriceps) being a late scratch. Flores is 8-for-23 with two home runs and six RBI through six games in June.
