Ken Giles - Lands MiLB deal with GiantsGiles agreed Monday with the Giants on a minor-league contract, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

ImpactGiles elected free agency Aug. 14 after he was designated for assignment by the Mariners, but he has now quickly found a new opportunity with the Giants. The 31-year-old appeared in five games for Seattle this season, tossing 4.1 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and four walks while striking out six. Those numbers are a little misleading though, as he surrendered 13 runs over 12.1 frames during his minor-league rehab assignment. Giles will likely find himself elevated to the Giants bullpen at some point down the stretch.

Elehuris Montero - Homers againMontero went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Giants.

ImpactMontero took Jakob Junis yard in the seventh inning and now has three home runs across his last three starts. It's been a mixed start to Montero's big-league career, as he has a strong .206 ISO but is striking out at a 33.3 percent clip. That has resulted in a .245/.267/.451 line across 105 plate appearances.

Mike Yastrzemski - Scores twice SundayYastrzemski went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

ImpactYastrzemski singled and stole second base in the seventh inning before scoring on an Evan Longoria grand slam. In the 11th, Yastrzemski was the initial runner and scored on a Wilmer Flores sacrifice fly, which stood as the winning run. Over his previous eight games, Yastrzemski was mired in an 0-for-26 slump, during which he posted a 4:12 BB:K. He's down to a .208/.306/.376 slash line with 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 53 runs scored and four steals through 109 contests, and it doesn't appear the slump has cost him much playing time -- he's still manager Gave Kapler's preferred center fielder versus right-handed pitchers.

Jarlín García - Takes blown saveGarcia was charged with a blown save after allowing two runs on two hits while striking out one in one-third of an inning.

ImpactGarcia gave up a two-run home run to Randal Grichuk in the eighth inning, which tied the game at 6-6. It's been a rough stretch for Garcia lately -- he's allowed 11 runs (nine earned) across his last 13.2 innings spanning 15 appearances since the All-Star break. He's picked up just one hold in that span and appears limited to a low-leverage role with just three holds in 45 outings this year. He's added a 3.09 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 41:13 K:BB and 1-3 record through 46.2 innings.

Dominic Leone - Collects extra-innings winLeone (4-4) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one in two-thirds of a scoreless inning, earning the extra-innings win over the Rockies on Sunday.

ImpactLeone cleaned things up after Alex Young allowed the Rockies to tie the game again in the 10th inning. The Giants went ahead again in the 11th, and Leone ended up with the win after Zack Littell closed out the contest. Through 7.1 innings in August, Leone has allowed five runs, 11 hits and three walks with nine strikeouts. He has a 4.33 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB through 43.2 innings overall, and he's added three saves, 11 holds and four blown saves while functioning as part of the setup mix ahead of closer Camilo Doval.

Zack Littell - Picks up first saveLittell pitched a perfect 11th inning to earn the save in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.

ImpactLittell was the seventh reliever the Giants deployed in this contest, and he was able to lock things down after Wilmer Flores' sacrifice fly put them ahead in the top of the 11th. Littell has covered three scoreless innings in two appearances since returning from an oblique injury Wednesday. He has a 4.59 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB across 33.1 innings this year, though he's added only one save and three holds as more of a low-leverage reliever. As such, he shouldn't be considered likely to see many additional save chances.
