Heliot Ramos - Hits first big-league homerRamos went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Rangers.

ImpactRamos has a homer and a double over the last two games, with Saturday marking his first time in the starting lineup since his recall from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday. His long ball was the first of his big-league career. For the season, the 23-year-old outfielder is batting .233 over 32 plate appearances while operating mainly in a reserve role when in the majors.

Michael Conforto - Pops homer in lossConforto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Rangers.

ImpactConforto has sputtered at the plate recently, going 6-for-30 (.200) with two extra-base hits and six walks over his last 10 games. His homer Saturday was his first since July 8. The outfielder is at a .238/.332/.394 slash line with 14 homers, 53 RBI, 49 runs scored and four stolen bases through 101 contests, though his relatively punchless hitting of late has nullified his stronger play from earlier in the year.

Alex Wood - Mops up four inningsWood allowed three runs on six hits and struck out three without walking a batter over four innings Saturday versus the Rangers. He did not factor in the decision.

ImpactWood was initially lined up for an appearance versus the Rays on Monday, but starter Alex Cobb struggled Saturday. Wood was able to spare the rest of the Giants' bullpen with the bulk-relief outing, but he'll likely be unavailable until later in the week. Through 19 outings (11 starts), Wood has a 4.92 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 58:33 K:BB through 71.1 innings, with most of his recent work coming in a multi-inning role out of the bullpen. Given that the Giants have just two or three pitchers working as traditional starters at any given time, it remains difficult to predict when other pitchers like Wood will take the mound.

Alex Cobb - Struggles versus TexasCobb (6-4) allowed six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Rangers.

ImpactCobb's winless stretch is at six starts, and he's given up at least three runs in four of them. It's been a rough second half of the campaign so far -- Cobb had a 2.91 ERA at the All-Star break, but it's up to 3.62 with a 1.37 WHIP and 110:32 K:BB through 121.2 innings over 22 starts this season amid his current struggles. The right-hander is lined up for a difficult road start in Atlanta next week.

Mitch Garver - Drives in three SaturdayGarver went 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Giants.

ImpactGarver's RBI single in the fourth inning put the Rangers ahead 2-1, and he knocked in another pair of singles with another single in the ninth. Across his 13 games since Jonah Heim (wrist) went on the injured list, Garver has hit .348 (16-for-46) with three home runs and 10 RBI. He's up to a .282/.356/.487 slash line with eight homers, 30 RBI, 21 runs scored and eight doubles across 46 contests this season.

Ezequiel Duran - Homer shy of cycleDuran went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Giants.

ImpactDuran also had a sacrifice fly in the contest, but he came up a homer shy of the cycle. He was in the lineup at designated hitter for a second straight game after he was hit on the hand by a pitch Wednesday. Duran should maintain a near-everyday role at least until Jonah Heim (wrist) returns to action, which could push Mitch Garver into the DH spot more frequently. Duran is slashing .282/.328/.483 with 14 home runs, six stolen bases, 42 RBI, 44 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 93 contests.

Corey Seager - Opens scoring with homerSeager went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, an additional RBI and two extra runs scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Giants.

ImpactSeager has five multi-hit efforts and five homers over his eight games since returning from a thumb injury. The shortstop reached the 20-homer mark for the fourth time in his career with his first-inning blast Saturday. He's added 68 RBI, 57 runs scored, 31 doubles and a stolen base while slashing .350/.410/.657 through 74 contests this season.
