Alex Cobb - Dealing with groin injury Cobb was diagnosed with a right groin injury after leaving Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader during the fifth inning, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cobb surrendered three runs (two earned) on six hits with four strikeouts and zero walks over 4.1 innings prior to his exit. The severity of the injury remains uncertain, and the veteran right-hander should be considered questionable for his next turn through the rotation until the Giants update his status.

Alex Cobb - Exits start with apparent injury Cobb was removed in the fifth inning of his start Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader with the Mets due to an apparent injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports....

Impact After surrendering back-to-back one-out doubles, Cobb was visited on the mound by a trainer and was escorted to the dugout. Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic notes that Cobb's fastball velocity was sitting at a relatively standard 94 miles per hour in the fifth inning, and the right-hander exhibited no obvious sign of distress while he was on the mound. Expect the Giants to provide an update on his condition after the game.

Mets OF Nimmo activated from COVID-19 IL, not in lineup

Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo was activated from the COVID-19 injured list but wasn’t in New York’s lineup for the opener of a doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants

Darin Ruf - On bench for day game Ruf is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mets, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact He'll find himself for the first time all season after generating a weak .176/.317/.235 slash line through the Giants' initial 10 games. Despite the poor start to the campaign, Ruf still looks to be locked into a near-everyday role for the Giants versus both right- and left-handed pitching while Tommy La Stella (Achilles) and LaMonte Wade (knee) remain on the injured list.

Yunior Marte - Not called up for doubleheader Marte won't be called up from Triple-A Sacramento for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mets, as the Giants have instead designated utility man Luke Williams as their 29th man for th...

Impact After he joined the Giants in Washington earlier Tuesday, Marte was expected to be added to the roster for the twin bill, but he'll instead remain on the taxi squad for the club's East Coast road trip. Marte will presumably be first in line for a promotion if the Giants need an extra reliever at any point.

Luke Williams - Optioned, but eligible for twin bill The Giants optioned Williams to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Before reporting to Sacramento, Williams will be eligible to play for...

Impact The Giants will swap Williams, a righty-hitting utility man, off the 28-man active roster for a lefty-hitting one in Jason Vosler, who should give manager Gabe Kapler some more options off the bench late in games while lefty hitters LaMonte Wade (knee) and Tommy La Stella (Achilles) reside on the injured list. Williams had seen limited use in the Giants' first nine games, starting twice and logging just five plate appearances in total. He should get the chance to play on an everyday basis when he heads to Sacramento after Tuesday's doubleheader.

Jason Vosler - Gets call from Triple-A The Giants recalled Vosler from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vosler missed out on an Opening Day roster spot but will join the team less than two weeks later. He struggled to a .178/.256/.356 line in 82 plate appearances as a 27-year-old rookie last season, so he doesn't seem likely to carve out a major role. Luke Williams was optioned to clear a roster spot.

Yunior Marte - Back with San Fran for doubleheader The Giants will recall Marte from Triple-A Sacramento to serve as the team's 29th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Nationals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Less than a week after being optioned to Sacramento, Marte is rejoining the Giants, but he's expected to be up with the big club for only a day before returning to the minors. Marte will give the Giants an extra arm out of the bullpen for the twin bill, but he'll likely be ticketed for lower-leverage work.
