Austin Wynns - Scores twice WednesdayWynns went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored in Wednesday's 13-7 loss to the Padres.
ImpactThis was Wynns' first multi-hit effort since June 21. The catcher has seen his playing time drop lately, but he could see a short-term boost, depending on how long Joey Bart needs to recover from a minor ankle sprain. Wynns' .224/.295/.294 slash line through 96 plate appearances will likely keep him in a backup role once Bart is ready to reclaim the starting role behind the plate.

J.D. Davis - Productive in Wednesday's lossDavis went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 13-7 loss to the Padres.
ImpactDavis flexed some opposite-field power with his second-inning blast to right. The 29-year-old has gone 8-for-24 (.333) with three homers in seven contests for the Giants since he was acquired from the Mets last week. For the season, he owns a .249/.330/.400 slash line with seven long balls, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored and a stolen base through 233 plate appearances. As long as he continues to hit well, Davis should maintain steady playing time, especially against southpaws, and he'll likely get some games versus right-handers too.

Yunior Marte - Struggles WednesdayMarte (0-1) allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and struck out one over one inning, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Padres.
ImpactMarte got the last out of the fifth inning, but he ran into trouble in the sixth. He gave up four runs in the frame, and an error after he exited in favor ofJarlin Garcia allowed an unearned run to be tacked onto Marte's line. The 27-year-old right-hander logged seven scoreless innings at the beginning of his current stint in the majors, but he's since surrendered 10 earned across nine frames in his last eight outings. For the season, he has an ugly 6.15 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 30:14 K:BB without logging a save or a hold through 33.2 innings.
