Brandon Crawford - Slugs fourth homer Crawford went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Mets.
Impact Crawford gave the Giants an early lead with his two-run shot to center field in the second inning, but New York went on to score 13 straight runs to notch a blowout victory. The shortstop had been struggling entering the game, going 1-for-12 over his previous three contests. After hitting a career-high 24 long balls last season, Crawford has just four through 39 contests in 2022.

Alex Cobb - Allows six runs in six innings Cobb (3-2) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, pitching six innings and allowing six runs on 10 hits and no walks while striking out seven.
Impact Given the fact that New York put up six runs against him, Cobb was surprisingly efficient, throwing 90 pitches (64 of which were strikes) over six frames. He was largely done in by a poor third inning during which the Mets scored five runs. Cobb has given up 13 runs across 11.1 innings over his past two starts to push his season ERA up to an unappealing 6.25. He'll look for a better result in his next start, which is slated to come in Cincinnati this weekend.

Brandon Belt - Receives cortisone shot Belt received a cortisone shot and had his knee drained Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Belt was unavailable for the Giants' weekend series against the Padres and has landed on the injured list for the second time this season. However, he's optimistic that he'll be able to return after spending the minimum of 10 days on the IL. Darin Ruf and Wilmer Flores should see additional time at first base while Belt is sidelined.

Austin Slater - Exits with left wrist discomfort Slater was removed from Sunday's game against the Padres due to left wrist discomfort, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Slater went 0-for-2 with a strikeout to begin Sunday's matchup, but he experienced wrist discomfort after his second at-bat and was removed from the game. The 29-year-old will likely be evaluated ahead of Monday's series opener against the Mets and should be considered day-to-day for now.
MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Wood - Struggles in loss Wood (3-3) picked up the loss, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four in three innings in a 10-1 defeat Sunday against San Diego.
Impact Wood was in trouble all game and allowed base runners in each inning. He pitched around a leadoff single in the third after giving up a run in each of the first two innings. In the fourth, the first three batters reached safely, plating a run, and Wood was replaced with two runners on base, both eventually scored on a Manny Machado double. It was easily the worst start of the year for Wood and only the second time he allowed more than three runs. Opponents have a .303 batting average against the veteran in a season where the league average is .236. His next start will likely be next weekend in Cincinnati.
MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Padlo - Heads to big leagues The Giants called up Padlo from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
Impact He'll join San Francisco as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for first baseman Brandon Belt (knee), who was moved to the 10-day injured list. Wilmer Flores and Darin Ruf are the main candidates to pick up work at first base while Belt is on the shelf, so Padlo is likely to serve as corner-infield depth while he's up with the parent club.
MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Belt - Returns to IL The Giants moved Belt to the 10-day injured list prior to Sunday's game against the Padres with right knee inflammation.
Impact Belt didn't play in either of the Giants' first two games of the weekend before the team elected to place him on the IL for the second time this season, after he was previously on the COVID-19-related IL. The Giants will deactivate Belt with the hope that the swelling in his right knee subsides over the next week and allows him to return after a minimum-length or near-minimum stay on the shelf. Darin Ruf and Wilmer Flores will likely see most of the work at first base while Belt is on the IL.
MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tommy La Stella - Sits versus lefty La Stella is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Impact Since returning from the injured list Monday and making his season debut, La Stella in four of the Giants' subsequent five games and went 4-for-15 with a solo home run, three doubles and a walk. He should remain in the Giants' everyday lineup against right-handed pitching, but the lefty-hitting La Stella will cede second base to the righty-hitting Thairo Estrada on Sunday with the Padres bringing southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the hill.
MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joc Pederson - Idle against lefty Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Impact The lefty-hitting Pederson will take a seat with southpaw MacKenzie Gore on the bump for San Diego in the series finale. The righty-hitting Darin Ruf replaces Pederson in left field.
