Zack Littell - Throws clean inning Littell pitched a perfect inning in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Mets.

However, across his last five starts, he's tallied seven hits in 14 at-bats, with four home runs -- three came Tuesday against the Mets -- 10 RBI and four runs scored.

Evan Longoria - Tallies pair of homers Longoria went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI on Wednesday against the Mets.
Impact Longoria returned to the lineup after sitting out Tuesday due to a shoulder issue. He made an immediate impact, slugging a three-run home run in the first inning and a solo shot one frame later. Those were his first two homers of the season, and he has only two additional extra-base hits across 40 plate appearances on the campaign.
MAY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Yastrzemski - Cranks fourth home run Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the Mets.
Impact Yastrzemski helped the Giants build an extensive lead early in the game, as he belted his fourth home run of the season in the second inning. Three of those long balls have come in 16 games since May 8, and he's also recorded 11 RBI and 16 runs scored in that span. Overall, Yastrzemski has maintained a .309/.409/.500 line -- good for a 161 wRC+ -- across 132 plate appearances.
MAY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

The primary damage against him came in the sixth inning when Francisco Lindor took him yard for a solo home run. However, Junis still managed to record his first quality start of the campaign, and his first win since April 22. Overall, Junis has maintained a 2.76 ERA and 24:5 K:BB across 32.2 innings.

Jake McGee - Should be back Friday The Giants are expected to activate McGee (back) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Though McGee gave up a run in the most recent of his three minor-league rehab outings with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, the Giants have been encouraged with how his velocity has ticked up as the minor-league assignment has progressed. McGee will likely throw in front of the Giants' coaching and training staff Thursday, and if he checks out fine, he should settle back into a setup role for the big club this weekend.

Curt Casali - Likely to return over weekend Casali (concussion) has made good progress in recent days and could be activated from the 7-day injured list this weekend, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Casali has yet to formally clear MLB's concussion protocol, but he looks like he might be able to do so by the time he's first eligible to return from the IL on Saturday. Prior to sustaining the head injury, Casali appeared to be moving into a timeshare at catcher with the struggling Joey Bart, who is hitting .171 on the season.

Thairo Estrada - Continuing to play every day Estrada will start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Mets, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Tommy La Stella's return from the injured list last week looked as though it would cost Estrada an everyday role, but that has yet to come to fruition. In fact, Estrada will make his ninth consecutive start Sunday, all of which have come at second base while La Stella has served exclusively as a designated hitter or third baseman since being activated. Estrada has done his part to ensure that La Stella nor anyone else encroaches on his role, as he's slashed .414/.469/.517 over his previous eight starts.
