Garrett Hampson - Flashes speed WednesdayHampson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's extra-innings loss to the Giants.
ImpactGetting the start at shortstop at batting ninth, Hampson swiped his first bag of the season in the fifth inning, putting him in scoring position for a Garrett Cooper single. Jon Berti's defensive limitations at shortstop appear to be causing manager Skip Schumaker to consider other options, which could open the door for Hampson to get more playing time.

Luis Arraez - Picks up first stealArraez went 1-for-5 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's extra-innings loss to the Giants.
ImpactHe collected his first theft of the season on the back half of a double steal with Jazz Chisholm in the 10th inning, but the duo got stranded when Bryan De La Cruz and Avisail Garcia both struck out, setting the stage for a four-run top of the 11th by San Francisco. Arraez has gone just 4-for-17 since returning to the starting lineup from a minor finger injury, but he still sports a dazzling .438/.493/.578 slash line through 18 games on the season, albeit with a less impressive one homer, seven RBI and seven runs.

Mike Yastrzemski - Homers in consecutive gamesYastrzemski went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win in 11 innings over the Marlins.
ImpactYastrzemski's second long ball in as many days provided some extra insurance for the Giants' 11th-inning lead. The outfielder is up to four long balls on the year, and he's yet to have a hitless stretch of two games. That consistency is valuable, as the Giants navigate a number of injuries to outfielders, including Mitch Haniger (oblique), Austin Slater (hamstring) and Joc Pederson (wrist). Yastrzemski is slashing .239/.271/.478 through 17 contests.
