Willy Adames Willy Adames Racks up three hits Thursday
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 6:22 PM
Adames went 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 12-5 loss to the Marlins.
Analysis: All three hits were singles for the shortstop. Since June 10, Adames has gone 17-for-54 (.315) with four home runs, one double, nine RBI and a 7:15 BB:K across 15 games. That's a large enough sample to suggest he's working his way out of the struggles that defined the better part of his first two months of the season. He's at a .215/.298/.349 slash line with nine home runs, 35 RBI, 43 runs scored, 11 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases through 80 contests overall. |

Rafael Devers Rafael Devers Big performance in loss
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 6:19 PM
Devers went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Thursday's 12-5 loss to the Marlins.
Analysis: Devers is now 9-for-35 (.257) with four extra-base hits and five RBI over his first nine games with the Giants. He got them on the board in the third inning, and while they were able to overcome an early 5-0 deficit, the Marlins' second wind proved to be too much. Devers has a .270/.396/.502 slash line with 17 homers, 63 RBI, 50 runs scored, one stolen base and 20 doubles across 82 games between the Giants and the Red Sox this season. He's recently been playing through a mild groin issue, which continues to limit him to designated hitter. |

Hayden Birdsong Hayden Birdsong Roughed up in loss
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 6:14 PM
Birdsong (3-2) allowed seven runs on four hits and four walks while striking out one over four-plus innings to take the loss Thursday versus the Marlins.
Analysis: Birdsong gave up a three-run home run to Kyle Stowers in the first inning as well as a two-run blast to Agustin Ramirez in the third. More trouble popped up in the fifth, which led to Birdsong's exit from the contest. It's a second shaky outing in a row -- the 23-year-old has allowed 12 runs (11 earned) over his last 8.1 innings. He's now at a 4.13 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 56:24 K:BB across 56.2 innings over 18 appearances (seven starts) this season, but he's trending in the wrong direction. It's unclear at this time if his rotation spot is in danger. He's tentatively scheduled for a road start in Arizona early next week. |

Analysis: Schmitt was hit by a pitch on his left wrist Wednesday and was held out of the lineup Thursday versus Miami. The versatile infielder underwent imaging, the results of which showed that he doesn't have a fracture. It's not yet clear if Schmitt will need to miss additional time, and for now he can be considered day-to-day. |

Casey Schmitt Casey Schmitt Not in Thursday's lineup
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 12:11 PM
Schmitt (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Schmitt took a pitch off his left wrist during the ninth inning of Wednesday's contest, and the Giants intended to take him out of the game if his spot in the lineup was due up in extra innings. The 26-year-old said after the game that X-rays on his wrist came back negative, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, but the team will give him a day off Thursday to recover while Christian Koss starts at third base. |

Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 7:03 AM
Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with a home run in Wednesday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.
Analysis: Yastrzemski hit a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first, marking his seventh of the season. The 34-year-old outfielder has recorded just two hits in his last four games, though both have been home runs. Yastrzemski is slashing .271/.362/.441 with 10 RBI, eight runs scored, two long balls and a 9:13 BB:K across 69 plate appearances in June. |

Logan Webb Logan Webb Records another quality start
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 3:05 AM
Webb allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against Miami on Wednesday.
Analysis: Webb yielded a pair of runs in the second frame but otherwise kept the Marlins off the scoreboard. The right-hander walked three batters for the second time in his past three outings, but none of those free passes resulted in a run. Webb is an NL Cy Young contender at this point in the campaign, posting a 2.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 120:23 K:BB over 17 starts spanning 107.1 innings. He's registered six consecutive quality starts and is tied for first in the league in that category with 13 on the season. |

Analysis: Adames drew a walk in the second inning and stole his first base since May 30. However, the star shortstop failed to record a hit for the third time in his last five contests, during which he has posted a .200/.368/.400 slash line with four runs scored, one home run and a 4:6 BB:K across 19 plate appearances.

The Giants optioned Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
Analysis: Fitzgerald is slashing only .127/.197/.145 in June and had seen his playing time dip with four starts over the last seven contests. He'll head to Sacramento, where he will try to get his swing in order. The Giants will go with a combination of Brett Wisely and Christian Koss at second base until Matt Chapman (hand) returns from the injured list, at which point Casey Schmitt is likely to shift over to the keystone. |

Rogers picked up a hold in a scoreless inning during Sunday's 9-5 win over the Red Sox, allowing two hits while striking out one.

Rogers was effective while earning his second hold in as many days, throwing 10 of his 12 pitches for strikes. The right-hander now owns a 1.24 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and a 31:4 K:BB across 36.1 innings in 38 appearances this season. |

Matt Chapman Matt Chapman Sheds splint, starts swinging
Mon, Jun 23, 2025, 9:02 AM
Chapman (hand) said Sunday that he's no longer wearing a splint and has resumed one-handed swinging in the batting cage, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Chapman was placed on the 10-day injured list June 10 due to a right hand sprain, but he was cleared to resume baseball activities last week and ditched his splint Friday. Though Chapman is limited to taking one-handed swings for now, he could be ready to start taking full swings beginning Tuesday, per Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. The third baseman remains unlikely to return before the end of June, though he's hopeful he'll return before the All-Star break, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Casey Schmitt is expected to continue handling an everyday role at the hot corner until Chapman is activated. |

Casey Schmitt Casey Schmitt Knocks homer, four hits in win
Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 6:26 PM
Schmitt went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double, and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 9-5 victory over the Red Sox.
Analysis: The 26-year-old infielder drew his 13th start at third base and fueled the Giants offense with his first career MLB game of three runs scored. This performance also marks Schmitt's second career four-hit contest with the first coming at Arizona on May 11, 2023. The San Diego State product has filled in admirably while Matt Chapman (hand) has been sidelined. Through 104 total plate appearances, Schmitt is slashing .286/.369/.462 with four homers, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored. |

Robbie Ray Robbie Ray Fans seven in no-decision
Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 6:16 PM
Ray did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 9-5 win against Boston, allowing four runs (three earned) on eight hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis: The San Francisco southpaw conceded a season-worst eight base knocks in this 88-pitch outing over which he fired 61 strikes. Ray allowed two long balls -- solo homers to Romy Gonzalez and Ceddanne Rafaela -- in a start for the first time since his first appearance of the season at Cincinnati on March 30. Despite this unsteady performance, Ray remains one of the elite starting pitchers in the game. He will carry a 2.83 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 104:36 K:BB across 92.1 innings into his next start against the White Sox in Chicago next weekend. |

Dominic Smith Dominic Smith Sitting against RHP
Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 3:11 PM
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Analysis: The left-handed-hitting Smith will take a seat against a right-handed pitcher (Lucas Gioliot) for the second time in the series. Smith has produced an .801 OPS in 16 games since joining the Giants earlier this month, but he could nonetheless have to settle for a part-time role at first base against right-handed pitching with the acquisition of Rafael Devers having displaced Wilmer Flores from the designated-hitter spot. |
