Tommy La Stella - Pulled from Game 4 La Stella was removed from Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers due to an Achilles injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact La Stella has been playing through the Achilles issue for the past couple weeks, and he appeared to tweak something while fielding a ball at second base. The 32-year-old went 1-for-3 before being replaced by pinch hitter Austin Slater during the seventh inning. La Stella will have Wednesday to recover before Thursday's Game 5 versus the Dodgers.

Brandon Belt - Fielding grounders Belt (thumb) was fielding grounders prior to Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Manager Gabe Kapler previously said it'd be a "dream scenario" for the veteran first baseman to be ready for the NLCS, and the fact he's participating in baseball activities this week should leave that door open. If Belt can progress to swinging a bat and facing live pitching within the next couple days, he could be included on the roster for the NLCS, which would begin Saturday should the Giants advance.

Camilo Doval - Perfect two-inning save Doval logged two perfect innings while striking out one en route to the save in Monday's Game 3 win over the Dodgers in the NLDS.
Impact Doval finished the regular season with 17-straight appearances without allowing an earned run, striking out 27 in 17.1 innings over that stretch. He will be a trendy mid-round closer option in 2022 redraft roto leagues.

Alex Wood - Stellar showing in Game 3 Wood fired 4.2 scoreless frames in Game 3 of the NLDS on Monday. He allowed two hits and two walks while striking out four.
Impact Wood didn't factor into the decision, as he was pulled midway through the fifth inning, but it was a stellar showing for the veteran southpaw. The Giants now have a 2-1 series lead, and Wood could work in a similar twice-through-the-order role if the team advances to the NLCS.
