SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Jerar Encarnación - Not starting Wednesday Encarnacion isn't in the Giants' lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Encarnacion will get a breather after going 0-for-7 with a strikeout to begin the Giants' four-game series with Atlanta. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Grant McCray to make his MLB debut in center field while batting ninth.

Marco Luciano - Dispatched to Sacramento The Giants optioned Luciano to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Since coming up from the minors in late July, Luciano has gone 4-for-21 with nine strikeouts over seven games. He'll now be sent back to Triple-A in order to make room for outfielder Grant McCray, but Luciano remains a top candidate to return to San Francisco if the Giants run into problems with infield depth.

Randy Rodríguez - Stuck with second loss Rodriguez (3-2) allowed an unearned run on one hit over one inning to take the extra-inning loss Tuesday versus Atlanta. He did not issue a walk or strike out a batter.

Impact Rodriguez gave up an RBI single to Travis d'Arnaud, which plated the initial runner in the 10th inning, and the Giants failed to respond for their second extra-inning loss in a row. While this run wasn't earned, Rodriguez has allowed six runs (five earned) over his last 9.2 innings despite sparse usage since the All-Star break. He's at a 3.93 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 52:16 K:BB through 50.1 innings while adding five holds and a blown save in a low-leverage role this season.

Kyle Harrison - Allows two homers Harrison did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings.

Impact Harrison surrendered two runs in the second with one coming off a solo home run from Ramon Laureano. Travis d'Arnaud would then get a hold of one in the third for another solo blast to put Atlanta up 3-1. Harrison worked through another two scoreless frames before his night was over after 89 pitches and ended on a strong note with two strikeouts in the fifth. Since returning from injury July 6, Harrison has made it to six innings just once in seven starts and has given up six home runs over this last three outings. His command has been shaky at times, allowing multiple walks in four of those seven outings as well. For the year, the 22-year-old lefty owns a 4.14 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 103:36 K:BB in 111 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup against the White Sox to begin next week.

Thairo Estrada - Begins rehab assignment Estrada (wrist) went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a hit-by-pitch in his first rehab game with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Impact Estrada has been shelved for nearly three weeks with a sprained left wrist but is almost ready to rejoin the Giants' active roster. Because he hasn't missed much time, Estrada would appear likely to be activated for the weekend series in Oakland which begins Saturday. Once he's back, Estrada should see the bulk of the reps at second base for San Francisco.

Tyler Fitzgerald - Homers in Tuesday's loss Fitzgerald went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

Impact Fitzgerald's only hit of the night was a big one, as he took Charlie Morton deep to left center field in the third to bring the Giants within a run. It was his fourth home run this month and his 13th of the year, all of which have come since July 9. His .972 OPS leads all rookies with at least 150 plate appearances this season. For the year, Fitzgerald is slashing .305/.363/.609 with 25 RBI, 36 runs, 12 steals and a 13:53 BB:K in 190 plate appearances.

Mike Yastrzemski - Swipes bag Monday Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 1-0 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Impact Yastrzemski's steal was his third of the year and first since July 24. The outfielder has hit safely in six of his last eight games, going 8-for-31 (.258) with four extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's up to a .246/.312/.434 slash line with nine home runs, 38 RBI and 39 runs scored across 101 contests, though he's also struggled to a 27.1 percent strikeout rate that continues to limit his upside.

Taylor Rogers - Takes extra-inning loss Rogers (1-4) allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one over one inning, taking the extra-inning loss Monday versus Atlanta.

Impact Rogers gave up the lone run of the game on a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning. He's been fairly steady since the start of July, posting a 2.63 ERA over 13.2 innings in that span, just a touch worse than his 2.25 ERA for the year. He's added a 1.19 WHIP, 56:15 K:BB and five holds over 48 innings overall. While the Giants' bullpen has been restructured after Camilo Doval was demoted to Triple-A last week, Rogers is still unlikely to see much high-leverage work, with Ryan Walker as closer while Tyler Rogers and Jordan Hicks look to be the preferred setup men.
