Ray Burgos - Selected by San Francisco The Giants selected Burgos' contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
Impact The move corresponds with the Giants designating Trenton Brooks for assignment. In nine games with Sacramento this season, Burgos has a 1.64 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 23:2 K:BB over 22 innings. The 25-year-old southpaw will work out of the Giants' bullpen, likely as a multi-inning reliever.

Blake Snell - Uninspiring in rehab start Snell (groin) pitched 1.2 innings, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks Sunday with Triple-A Sacramento.
Impact Snell was not particularly effective in the first start of his rehab assignment, throwing just 27 of his 51 pitches for strikes against Red Rock. Following the contest, the left-hander said he anticipates needing at least one more rehab appearance, if not more, stating that he wants to be "healthy and 100 percent" before he returns according to Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle. Snell has been limited to just six starts so far in his first year with the Giants, most recently landing on the 15-day injured list with a left groin strain June 3.

Wilmer Flores - Sitting down Sunday Flores isn't in the Giants' lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Flores will sit for a second consecutive game Sunday after going 2-for-15 with a double and an RBI over his last five contests. Trenton Brooks will instead start at first base and bat eighth during the series finale.

Michael Conforto - Drives in three Conforto went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Conforto has struggled mightily since returning from a hamstring injury. He's gone 6-for-55 (.109) over 16 games in June, a stretch poor enough to cost him an everyday role in left field -- he's been operating as a strong-side platoon player over the last couple of weeks. The outfielder is at a .232/.290/.409 slash line with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 22 runs scored and no stolen bases across 214 plate appearances.

Matt Chapman - Busy day in loss Chapman went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in a 9-4 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.
Impact Chapman singled, stole second and scored in the first inning, and then walked and scored again in the third. He later added another single in the eighth. This was Chapman's first multi-hit effort since June 4, but it's encouraging to see him active on the bases considering he missed two games to a hamstring injury June 9 and 10. On the season, the third baseman is hitting .232 with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 47 runs scored and a career-high six stolen bases in 285 at-bats.

Jordan Hicks - Hit hard early in loss Hicks (4-4) took the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks with one strikeout over four innings.
Impact Hicks surrendered a two-run home run to Paul Goldschmidt in the first and a three-run homer to Alec Burleson in the fourth before departing with a 5-4 deficit. The righty has completed only five frames in one of four June outings and has not logged a quality start since April 27. He owns a 3.24 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 69:31 K:BB over 80.2 innings and lines up to start against the Cubs next week.
JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Howard - Gives up two earned runs in relief Howard was charged with three runs (two earned) on four hits and one walk over one inning of relief in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs. He recorded three strikeouts.
Impact After making both of his previous two appearances as a starter, Howard was deployed out of the bullpen behind opening pitcher Erik Miller. Miller left the game after pitching the first inning, then Spencer Bivens, Sean Hjelle and Taylor Rogers worked innings two through six before Howard entered the game in the top of the seventh. Though he worked just one frame, Howard tossed 33 pitches and should remain fairly stretched out if the Giants need to turn to him for a start or a bulk-relief appearance during the team's four-game series against the Cubs to begin the upcoming week. The Giants currently have just two healthy full-time starters (Logan Webb and Jordan Hicks).
