Sam Long - Strong outing as opener Long fired two scoreless innings in Friday's win over Washington. He allowed two hits and struck out one batter.
Impact Long coughed up two hits in the first inning but escaped the jam without allowing a run. The 6-foot-1 lefty has yet to give up a run this season while posting a 4:1 K:BB through 4.2 frames. He's currently lined up to take the mound at home against Oakland next week where he'll likely go deeper into the contest.

Jakob Junis - Fires five shutout innings Junis (1-0) allowed three hits over five scoreless innings Friday, striking out four and earning a win over Washington.
Impact Junis was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday and made his Giants debut out of the bullpen in Friday's victory. He allowed just one extra-base hit and was never in much danger during the dominant outing. Due to several injuries to the Giants' starting pitching group, Junis will likely stick around on the MLB roster and could find himself in the starting rotation next week.

Giants place pitcher Anthony DeSclafani on injured list
The San Francisco Giants placed right-hander Anthony DeSclafani on the 10-day injured list with right ankle inflammationAPRIL 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jakob Junis - Recalled by San Francisco Junis was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Since Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Junis will be available for Friday's matchup against the Nationals. If the right-hander isn't utilized out of the bullpen Friday, he's a strong candidate to take DeSclafani's place in the rotation. Junis has made three starts in Sacramento this year and has posted an 8.74 ERA and 2.07 WHIP in 11.1 innings.

Anthony DeSclafani - Out with ankle injury DeSclafani was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right ankle inflammation, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact The 32-year-old gave up five runs during Thursday's loss to the Mets and has had decreased velocity early in the season, and he's now scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday. DeSclafani dealt with a similar issue last season, though he didn't miss much time after receiving a cortisone injection. It's unclear exactly how long the right-hander will be sidelined this time around.
APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luis González - Contract selected by Giants Gonzalez's contract was selected by the Giants on Friday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Gonzalez appeared in 11 games at Triple-A Sacramento to begin the year, and he hit .283 with three homers, seven runs, seven RBI and four stolen bases. He'll provide depth in the major-league outfield after Steven Duggar (oblique) was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday.

Getting to know Cory Abbott, the newest Giants pitcher Abbott's numbers don't scream obvious answer in the big-league rotation, but the Giants didn't just acquire him on a lark.

Steven Duggar - Heading to 60-day IL Duggar was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday with a left oblique strain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old suffered the oblique strain during Thursday's game against the Mets and will now be sidelined for at least the next two months. Austin Slater and Mauricio Dubon should see increased reps in center field during Duggar's absence, and Heliot Ramos or Luke Williams could be promoted to provide depth.
APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
LaMonte Wade Jr. - Rehab assignment begins Saturday Wade (knee) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wade has dealt with knee inflammation since late March, but he's been able to ramp up his baseball activities in recent weeks. The Giants haven't indicated how many rehab appearances he'll require, but the 28-year-old could rejoin the major-league club as early as next week.
APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Cobb - Resumes playing catch Cobb (groin) will begin playing catch Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Cobb landed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a Grade 1 groin strain, but he's downplayed the severity of the issue. He's optimistic that he won't require a lengthy stay on the IL, and it's encouraging that he's already resumed playing catch. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return when first eligible April 30, but he's unlikely to be sidelined very long.

Joc Pederson - Not starting Friday Pederson isn't starting Friday against the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Pederson will get a breather against left-hander Patrick Corbin after hitting .292 with two homers, a double, five runs, three RBI and a stolen base in his last seven appearances. Austin Slater will start in left field and lead off.
APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Bart - Returns to lineup Bart (hand) is starting Friday's game against the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Bart was hit by a pitch Wednesday against the Mets and missed two games, but he'll be back in action for Friday's series opener. He's hitting .207 with two homers, a double, four runs, four RBI and a stolen base this year.
APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Long - Draws spot start Long is scheduled to start Friday's series opener with the Nationals in Washington, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Since Long will be returning to the mound on two days' rest and hasn't recorded more than four outs in any of his appearances this season or during spring training, he'll likely be on a very limited pitch count in his first start. The southpaw will be slotting in as the fifth starter temporarily after Alex Cobb went on the injured list Wednesday with a right adductor strain. The Giants are hoping Cobb will be ready to go by the time his next turn in the rotation comes up at the end of the month.

Giants visit the Nationals to begin 3-game series
The Washington Nationals host the San Francisco Giants to open a three-game seriesAPRIL 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Anthony DeSclafani - Knocked around by Mets DeSclafani (0-1) allowed five earned runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four across five innings to take the loss Thursday against the Mets.
Impact DeSclafani gave up all of his runs across the first three innings, including two solo home runs. However, he was in trouble for nearly the entire outing, as he allowed multiple baserunners in his three of his five frames. Positively, this was DeScalfani's longest effort of the season, so if he pitches well he should be able to work relatively deep into his next start -- currently projected to come Tuesday at home against Oakland. Through three appearances, DeScalafani has a 6.08 ERA and 13:2 K:BB across 13.1 frames on the campaign.

Mike Yastrzemski - Cranks first homer Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Mets.
Impact Yastrzemski reached base on a bunt single in his first plate appearance, but he waited for his final at-bat to take Carlos Carrasco yard. It was Yastrzemski's first homer of the season and only his second extra-base hit across 44 plate appearances. Nevertheless, he's shown signs of coming alive at the plate, recording at least one knock in three of his last four games and multiple hits in consecutive starts.

Steven Duggar - Requires IL stint Manager Gabe Kapler said Thursday that Duggar (oblique) will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Duggar was removed from Thursday's game against the Mets with a left oblique injury that he sustained on a swing, and he'll require at least a week and a half to recover. Austin Slater and Mauricio Dubon should see additional playing time in center field while Duggar is sidelined, and Heliot Ramos and Luke Williams are candidates to join the major-league roster as outfield depth.
