Impact Vosler started at third base for the fifth straight game. He singled, stole a base, and scored in the Giants' four-run fourth inning. Since being recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday, he is 5-for-16 with two homers, a double and a stolen base and has reached base safely in all five contests.

Walton's slam, Junis' solid outing lead Giants past Marlins
Donovan Walton hit a grand slam, Jakob Junis pitched six innings of one-run ball and the San Francisco Giants beat the Miami Marlins 5-1JUNE 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jakob Junis - Fans eight in win Junis (3-1) earned the victory Sunday in Miami, striking out eight in six innings while allowing a run on two hits and two walks.
Impact Junis held the Marlins' lineup in check, allowing just a single and two walks through the first five innings. Garrett Cooper tagged him for a one-out solo shot in the sixth but Junis came right back and struck out the final two batters he faced. The eight strikeouts were a season-high for the 29-year-old. Junis is easily having the best season of his career with a 2.51 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 43 innings. His next start will likely be next weekend against the Dodgers.
JUNE 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jason Vosler - Swats another homer Vosler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins.
Impact Vosler has homered in back-to-back games for the second time this year, which accounts for all four of his long balls. With Evan Longoria still dealing with lingering shoulder soreness, Vosler will make a fifth straight start at third base in Sunday's road trip finale in Miami. He's posted a .298/.370/.596 slash line with eight RBI, eight runs scored and a pair of doubles through 54 plate appearances this year.

Tyler Rogers - Takes loss Saturday Rogers (0-2) allowed a run on one hit and a hit batter while striking out one in 1.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Marlins.
Impact Manager Gabe Kapler tried to get a second inning out of Rogers after he pitched a scoreless eighth, but he made a mess of the ninth. A single, a hit batter and a balk put two runners in scoring position, and Jesus Sanchez walked it off with a sacrifice fly. This ended Rogers' four-inning scoreless streak over his last three appearances, though it was his first loss since April 11. He owns a 6.04 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB while logging eight holds and a blown save across 22.1 innings as a high-leverage option this year.

JUNE 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joc Pederson - Sits against lefty Pederson is not in Sunday's lineup against the Marlins.
Impact Pederson will take a seat with southpaw Braxton Garrett starting for Miami, but he could enter as a pinch hitter once the Marlins bring in a righty. He is hitting .323 with three home runs over his last 10 games.
JUNE 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luis González - Back in action Sunday Gonzalez (lower leg) is starting in left field and hitting fifth Sunday against the Marlins.
Impact He exited Friday's game with a lower-leg contusion and was held out Saturday. Gonzalez is hitting .324 with zero home runs and four doubles over his last 10 games.
JUNE 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Donovan Walton - Knocks in three runs Walton went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Marlins.
Impact Walton got the start at second base and came up with a big hit in the fourth inning, knocking a double to left field that plated three runs. The 28-year-old entered the contest with only one RBI across 32 at-bats, so this was his most productive game of the campaign. Walton has yet to go deep this season, but seven of his eight hits have gone for doubles.
JUNE 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Webb - Wobbles in fifth inning Webb did not factor in the decision against Miami on Saturday. He pitched 4.2 innings, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six.
Impact Webb looked to be cruising to a win through four innings, as he held the Marlins without a run while San Francisco built a 4-0 lead. However, things fell apart for the right-hander in the fifth, when he gave up three straight hits to start the frame and was pulled before he could notch the third out. This was the first time since April 19 that Webb failed to complete five innings, but he avoided taking his first loss since that date. He'll look for better results in a tough matchup in Los Angeles against the Dodgers next week.

Impact Delaplane has spent the start of the regular season continuing his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in San Jose last weekend. Over his first two rehab appearances, he allowed two runs while striking out five in 1.2 innings. Once the right-hander is deemed fully healthy, he'll likely advance to Triple-A Sacramento.
