Ryan Watson - Traded to Giants The Orioles traded Watson to the Giants on Friday in exchange for cash, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Watson has posted a 2.38 ERA and 0.97 WHIP through 22.2 total innings between the Orioles' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates this season. The 26-year-old righty will now likely report to Triple-A Sacramento upon joining his new organization, and he could be promoted to make his MLB debut later this season if he continues to impress in the minors.

Jerar Encarnación - Sitting Friday Encarnacion is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Patrick Bailey - Taking seat Friday Bailey is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bailey will yield to Curt Casali, who was activated off the injured list Friday, behind the dish for the series opener against Detroit. Bailey is in the middle of a slump, having one hit and nine strikeouts in his last 30 at-bats.

Curt Casali - Back with team The Giants reinstated Casali from the paternity list Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact After staying at home during the Giants' three-game road series against the Nationals, Casali has rejoined the team in time for Friday's series opener against the Tigers. Jackson Reetz was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Camilo Doval - Optioned to Triple-A The Giants optioned Doval to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact The decision to send Doval to the minors comes after he gave up three earned runs in one inning and was charged with his fifth blown save Thursday. The 27-year-old righty will now attempt to get back on track while in Sacramento after recording a 6.75 ERA and 1.83 WHIP through 21.1 innings since June 2. Landen Roupp was recalled in a corresponding move to bolster the Giants' bullpen, and Ryan Walker will likely take over as San Francisco's primary closer.

Jakson Reetz - Optioned to Sacramento The Giants optioned Reetz to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Impact The move makes room for the reinstatement of catcher Curt Casali from the paternity list. Reetz was called up from Sacramento on Tuesday. In his lone outing Thursday against the Nationals, Reetz went 1-for-2 with one double and one walk. In the minors this season, he's slashing .250/.362/.428 with five home runs and 31 RBI across 214 plate appearances.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Landen Roupp - Called up by Giants The Giants recalled Roupp from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Roupp will take Camilo Doval's spot on the active roster, marking Roupp's first MLB action since June 30. In 16.1 big-league innings, Roupp has logged a 6.06 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP with a 15:10 K:BB.

Ismael Munguia - Returns from injury Munguia (undisclosed) is slashing .278/.395/.333 with two doubles, a 4:3 BB:K and four stolen bases in nine games since returning from Double-A Richmond's 7-day injured list July 2...

Impact Munguia missed a little over two weeks with the undisclosed injury before returning to the Richmond lineup. The 25-year-old outfielder is getting on base at a .372 clip while going 15-for-21 on stolen-base attempts over his 286 plate appearances between Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento this season.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Kai-Wei Teng - Returns to action at Triple-A Teng (undisclosed) has struck out five and has given up three earned runs on five hits and one walk over 6.2 innings over two appearances for Triple-A Sacramento since being reinst...

Impact Teng had been on the shelf for three weeks before he made his return to Sacramento. The 25-year-old righty made four appearances out of the San Francisco bullpen earlier this season but is likely to serve as a swingman for Sacramento for the foreseeable future. He holds an 8.66 ERA and 1.76 WHIP over 44.2 innings for the Triple-A club in 2024.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Spencer Howard - Back in San Francisco on MiLB deal The Giants signed Howard to a minor-league contract Thursday.

Impact Howard began the season with the Giants before being designated for assignment and then traded to the Guardians in July. Cleveland dropped him from its 40-man roster shortly after that and he's now returned to the Giants organization and assigned to Triple-A Sacramento. Howard holds a 6.21 ERA and 27:14 K:BB in 29 innings covering three starts and six relief appearances in 2024.

Tyler Fitzgerald - Swipes three bags in win Fitzgerald went 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, three stolen bases and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-5 extra-inning win over the Nationals.

Impact Fitzgerald has grabbed headlines with his power lately, but it was his speed that stole the show Thursday. He hadn't successfully swiped a bad over his previous 20 games, though he hit .347 with 11 homers in that span, so he hasn't had many chances to make an impact with baserunning. For the season, Fitzgerald is at a .314/.375/.634 slash line with 12 homers, 10 steals, 24 RBI, 33 runs scored and nine doubles over 53 contests.

Mark Canha - Collects four hits, drives in two Canha went 4-for-6 with a double and two RBI Thursday against the Nationals.

Impact Canha made his biggest impact as a Giant, driving in two and collecting his first four-hit game since 2022 while a member of the Mets. The veteran outfielder started three of the four games in Washington and has now collected seven hits in 15 at-bats since arriving from Detroit at the trade deadline.

Camilo Doval - Blows fifth save Doval (4-1) was credited with the win Thursday, allowing three runs on one hit and two walks over one inning against the Nationals. He did not record a strikeout.

Impact Doval entered the ninth with a three-run lead but walked two batters which set up Luis Garcia's two-out, two-strike homer to left that tied the game. It was the fifth blown save of the season for Doval, who was then bailed out when the Giants scored four in the top of the 10th to provide him with his fourth win. Doval is now 4-1 with 22 saves on the season, though the three runs allowed lifted his ERA from 4.29 to 4.70 to go along with a 1.61 WHIP and 56 strikeouts over 44 innings.

Kyle Harrison - Alllows two runs, removed in fifth Harrison did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits over 4.2 innings against the Nationals. He struck out three.

Impact Harrison rebounded after having allowed four home runs in his previous start, allowing just two runs to cross the plate Thursday while avoiding the long ball for the sixth time in his last eight starts. Harrison remained in the game following a 50-minute rain delay in the top of the third but was removed with the bases empty and two outs in the fifth at just 61 pitches, a season-low total for the 22-year-old lefty. With no indication that an injury was the cause for his removal, Harrison currently looks to be on track to make his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to take place during next week's home series against Atlanta.
