A.J. Vukovich - Stark home/road splits at Double-AVukovich is slashing .263/.333/.485 with 24 home runs, 20 steals on 29 attempts and a 28.4 percent strikeout rate in 115 games for Double-A Amarillo.
ImpactThere is some important context needed with Vukovich's season line, as he had a .977 OPS in the very hitter-friendly home park in Amarillo and had a .681 OPS on the road. His 31.2 percent hard-hit rate is a strong mark, and Vukovich has always had a chance for above-average game power. He's made 60 starts in center field, 24 starts in left field, 15 starts at third base and a handful of starts at first base, right field and designated hitter.

Tristan Beck - Recalled from Triple-AThe Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.
ImpactBeck had been struggling badly in a swingman role just prior to his Sept. 4 demotion, but he holds a decent 4.04 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 62:20 K:BB in 75.2 overall major-league innings this year. The right-hander will return in long relief ahead of Thursday's series opener at Dodger Stadium.

Sean Hjelle - Sent back to Triple-AThe Giants optioned Hjelle to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.
ImpactHjelle worked 1.1 scoreless innings of relief Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, but the 26-year-old right-hander carries a rough 8.10 ERA across 13 total major-league plate appearances this season. Tristan Beck will join San Francisco's bullpen in a corresponding roster move ahead of Thursday's series opener versus the Dodgers.

Marco Luciano - Recalled from SacramentoThe Giants recalled Luciano from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.
ImpactLuciano seems positioned to serve as the Giants' primary shortstop over the final 10 games of the 2023 regular season after the team placed Brandon Crawford (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Thursday and released Paul DeJong. Luciano is a high-ranking prospect and can use this time as an audition to be the Opening Day starter at short in 2024, though he hasn't been much of a counting stats compiler in either the minors or majors this year.
