Trevor McDonald - Returns from 7-day injured list Double-A Richmond reinstated McDonald (groin) from its 7-day injured list Sunday.
Impact McDonald has resided on Richmond's IL all season but is finally ready to join the Giants' Eastern League affiliate after an extended rehab assignment that first kicked off May 14. In 10 total outings between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and High-A Eugene covering 24.1 innings, McDonald turned in a 4.44 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB.

Nick Ahmed - Regains regular role Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact Ahmed will pick up his third consecutive start, with Sunday's assignment coming against a lefty (James Paxton) after the prior two had come versus right-handed pitching. Though he had previously been occupying a short-side platoon role at shortstop with Brett Wisely, Ahmed should have shortstop all to himself for the foreseeable future with Wisely having moved over to second base following Thairo Estrada's (wrist) placement on the injured list Friday.

Brett Wisely - Idle against lefty Wisely is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will take a seat in favor of the righty-hitting Nick Ahmed, who will cover shortstop while the Giants face off against southpaw James Paxton. Though he's still holding down a strong-side platoon role at shortstop, Wisely's run as the Giants' primary leadoff man versus right-handed pitching has come to an end in the wake of LaMonte Wade's return from the injured list Friday. Wade had actually batted second both of the previous two days against right-handed pitching, but Jorge Soler moved into the leadoff spot while Wisely dropped to eighth in the order.

LaMonte Wade - Retreating to bench vs. lefty Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact The platoon-happy Giants will hold out Wade and fellow lefty-hitting regulars Michael Conforto and Brett Wisely while the Dodgers send a southpaw (James Paxton) to the hill. David Villar will check in at first base in place of Wade, who went 2-for-9 with a double, a walk and a run scored in the first two games of the series following his return from a month-long stay on the injured list due to a hamstring strain.

Michael Conforto - Resting against southpaw Conforto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact With southpaw James Paxton toeing the slab for the Dodgers, the lefty-hitting Conforto will be given the afternoon off. Luis Matos will fill in for Conforto in left field.

Spencer Howard - DFA'd by San Francisco Howard was designated for assignment Sunday by the Giants, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The right-hander surrendered six runs over 2.2 innings Saturday against the Dodgers and has now lost his place on the Giants' 26-man and 40-man rosters. Howard has struggled to a 5.63 ERA and 21:11 K:BB over 24 frames in the big leagues this season.
JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE
Landen Roupp - Promoted, should pitch Sunday Roupp (undisclosed) was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The 25-year-old was on the injured list at Triple-A Sacramento with an unspecified injury, but he'll join the Giants after making three rehab starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. Roupp has a 5.27 ERA and 12:8 K:BB across 13.2 innings for San Francisco this season. According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Roupp is expected to cover about three innings behind opening pitcher Spencer Bivens.

Sean Hjelle - Takes loss Saturday Hjelle (3-2) allowed eight runs (six earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out one over two innings to take the extra-innings loss versus the Dodgers on Saturday.
Impact Hjelle allowed a run in the 10th inning, but the Giants couldn't do anything more than pull even in their half of the frame. The Dodgers took over in the 11th, and Hjelle was left to take it on the chin, as he was seventh pitcher they used in the contest ahead of another likely bullpen game Sunday. Given the situation and opponent, it's understandable, but the poor outing still inflated Hjelle's ERA from 2.33 to 3.54. He's added a 1.03 WHIP and 40:6 K:BB with three holds over 40.2 innings as a multi-inning reliever this year.
JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Bivens - Making start Sunday Bivins will start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The right-hander has made five appearances since he received his first call-up to the majors in mid-June, and he'll make his first big-league start Sunday versus Los Angeles. Bivens last pitched Thursday versus the Cubs and covered one inning, and he's topped out at 49 pitches since joining the Giants. He should be able to provide some length but likely won't handle a full starter's workload.
JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Chapman - Three hits, RBI in loss Chapman went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Chapman doubled in his first at-bat before then getting caught trying to steal second. He then drove home Heliot Ramos with an infield single in the following frame before eventually going on to reach a total of four times in the contest. It marked Chapman's fourth three-hit performance this season and his first since May 18 against the Rockies. The third baseman has also hit safely in six straight games, posting two homers, six RBI and six runs scored over that stretch.
JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE
Jorge Soler - Two doubles in loss Soler went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's extra-innings loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Soler doubled in his first at-bat before coming around to score the Giants' first run of the game on a sac fly from Heliot Ramos. The slugger then added an RBI double to tie the game at 2-2 in the third, giving him three extra-base hits over his last three games. Soler is now batting .275 this month -- a far cry from his .164 average in May -- with three homers, eight doubles, 14 RBI and 10 runs scored.

Kyle Harrison - Won't require rehab stint Harrison (ankle) will throw one more bullpen session before rejoining the rotation during the Giants' six-game road trip that begins Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area...
Impact Harrison hasn't seen any game action since June 10 due to a sprained right ankle, but he'll be ready to return to the Giants' rotation after completing several bullpen sessions. While it's unclear when he'll be slotted to start, the 22-year-old is most likely to pitch during a three-game series in Cleveland next weekend. Prior to the injury, Harrison turned in a 3.96 ERA and 68:22 K:BB across 77.1 innings.
