Jorge Soler - Bat stays hot in win Soler went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Impact Soler posted a trio of three-hit games during this weekend's four-game series versus the Rockies, going 9-for-15 with four RBI and three walks in that span. The slugger has batted .359 (14-for-39) over 11 contests since the All-Star break, though it helps the Giants have faced the Rockies in seven of those games. For the season, he's up to a .240/.330/.419 slash line through 93 contests.

Casey Schmitt - Smacks homer in win Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Impact Schmitt made an early impact Sunday, going deep off Austin Gomber in the first inning. The homer was Schmitt's third of the season and his first since he was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. The infielder has added a .244/.271/.511 slash line with seven RBI, seven runs scored, one double, one triple and no stolen bases over 48 plate appearances in the majors this season. He's an option all over the infield, but Schmitt is most likely to share second base as a short-side platoon partner with Brett Wisely until Thairo Estrada (wrist) returns.

Matt Chapman - On base four times Sunday Chapman went 3-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Impact Chapman logged his second three-hit effort in the last three games. He delivered a key scoring play with a two-run single in the sixth inning to stretch the Giants' lead to 5-2, which proved to be necessary insurance. The third baseman is up to a .242/.334/.424 slash line with 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 72 runs scored and 11 stolen bases through 105 contests this year.

Randy Rodríguez - Grabs win Sunday Rodriguez (3-1) allowed one run on two hits and struck out three over three innings, earning the win over the Rockies on Sunday.
Impact This was a bullpen game for the Giants, and Rodriguez was their second pitcher in a contest in which they never trailed. Rodriguez was called up as a reinforcement for the bullpen earlier Sunday after Sean Hjelle (personal) went on the bereavement list. For the season, Rodriguez has a 4.11 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB while adding five holds over 46 innings through 30 appearances. The right-hander has been effective, but since he threw 45 pitches Sunday, he could soon be optioned out for another fresh reliever.
JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Camilo Doval - Secures save No. 20 Doval allowed a run on two hits and struck out one over one inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Impact Doval allowed two singles to begin the ninth inning. He yielded a run on a groundout but was able to stop the damage there to convert his 20th save of the campaign. Doval has converted six of his seven save chances in July despite allowing four runs over 8.1 innings this month. He's now at a 4.39 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 53:26 K:BB through 41 innings.

Chapman, Soler each get 3 hits as Giants beat Rockies 5-4 to complete 4-game sweep

Jordan Hicks - Allows two runs in move to bullpen Hicks allowed two runs on three hits and struck out one over two innings during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Impact Hicks' move to the bullpen is likely to be permanent for the remainder of 2024, though he's still stretched out enough to provide some length. He was the fourth of six pitchers the Giants deployed in Sunday's true bullpen game, though his struggles from recent weeks as a starter followed him to his new relief role. The right-hander has allowed 14 runs over his last 15 innings while posting a 15:8 K:BB in that span. He's at a 4.11 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 91:41 K:BB through 100.2 innings this season, making this the first year he's topped 100 frames in the majors and the first time he's done it at any level since 2017. However, without a rotation spot or a clear path to high-leverage relief work, Hicks' fantasy value is essentially gone in most formats.

Alex Cobb - Blister pushes back return Cobb (hip/shoulder) popped blister on his right index finger during his final rehab start Friday, which will push back his season debut from the two-game series against Oakland on...
Impact It's yet another delay for the veteran right-hander, who has been on the shelf all season due to hip and shoulder injuries. The blister isn't expected to be a significant hurdle for Cobb, however, and he should still be able to make his season debut during next weekend's series at Cincinnati.

LaMonte Wade - On bench versus southpaw Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Impact Wade has gone 4-for-23 in seven games since the All-Star break and will sit Sunday as lefty Austin Gomber takes the mound for Colorado. David Villar will start at first base and bat seventh in the series finale.
JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Randy Rodríguez - Returns to majors The Giants recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact The right-hander was optioned to Sacramento on Wednesday but will quickly return to the big leagues as Sean Hjelle (personal) lands on the bereavement list. Rodriguez has made 29 appearances for the Giants this season and has a 4.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB across 43 innings.
JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Heliot Ramos - Sitting due to thumb injury Ramos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies due to a right thumb injury, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact It's not believed to be a serious injury, but the Giants will rest Ramos on Sunday to give him two straight days of rest with Monday's team off day. Derek Hill will instead start in center field and bat ninth in the series finale versus Colorado.
JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Hjelle - Moves to bereavement list The Giants placed Hjelle (personal) on the bereavement list Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hjelle pitched a scoreless frame Saturday against the Rockies and will now step away from the team for a few days to be with his family. Randy Rodriguez was called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Alex Cobb - Works two innings in rehab start Cobb (hip/shoulder) struck out four batters and allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks over two innings in his rehab start Friday with Single-A San Jose.
Impact The Giants might have been hoping for better results from Cobb in the sixth start of his rehab assignment, but assuming he feels fine physically coming out of Friday's outing, he could be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list to make his next start with the big club. Cobb was lifted after 50 pitches (30 strikes) in Friday's rehab appearance, though it's possible that he was able to push up that pitch count with a bullpen session following his exit from the game. The Giants have seemingly already cleared the way for Cobb to rejoin the rotation, as Jordan Hicks was scratched from his anticipated start Sunday versus the Rockies and looks set to work out of the bullpen moving forward, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. Cobb -- who has been out all season while recovering from offseason hip surgery and then experienced shoulder soreness during the rehab process -- tentatively lines up to make his 2024 Giants debut Wednesday versus the Athletics.

Jorge Soler - Three hits in nightcap Soler went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in a 5-0 win over the Rockies in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Impact Soler was 0-for-3 with a walk in the first game, but he bounced back with a strong showing in the nightcap for his third multi-hit effort in the last four games. The 32-year-old is batting .253 with nine extra-base hits and eight RBI over 21 contests in July. For the season, he's up to a .235/.378/.467 slash line with 12 home runs, 39 RBI, 56 runs scored, one stolen base and 22 doubles over 92 games.
