Fantasy Impact: Jefferies will head to Triple-A as the Giants call up a fresh arm for the bullpen in Randy Rodriguez. Jefferies will likely re-enter the rotation in Triple-A.

Tom Murphy showed a glimmer of offensive life in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox, connecting for his first home run of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Murphy went 1-for-3 with a home run, one run scored, and one RBI. Despite this rare display of power, Murphy's season has been underwhelming, with a meager .100 batting average and only three hits over 11 games.

Fantasy Impact: Snell is dealing with a Grade 2 adductor strain, but has resumed throwing rather quickly. The veteran could be assigned a timeline after his bullpen session.

Mike Yastrzemski collected two hits with a home run on Sunday against the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: Yastrzemski hit one of two home runs on the afternoon in the win for San Francisco. It was his second long ball on the season.

Camilo Doval allowed one run, but held on for his fifth save on the season.

Fantasy Impact: Doval entered the ninth inning with a 3-1 lead, allowing one run on two hits. He was able to help the Giants hold onto a 3-2 win.

Keaton Winn allowed one run on three hits over six innings in a win over the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: Winn added five strikeouts to just one walk. He'll look to carry the momentum into his next start against the Phillies.

Jordan Hicks stated he experienced tightness in his side during his start against Pittsburgh. (Source: Susan Slusser on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Hicks felt the tightness in the sixth inning, but remained in the game and was pulled after the first batter in the seventh. Hicks has stated he is fine, but it is worth fantasy managers keeping an eye on.

Jorge Soler went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, one run scored, and two RBI in the Giants' 4-3 loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the defeat, Soler's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his power with a crucial home run that contributed directly to the Giants' scoring efforts. This season, Soler has been struggling with a low batting average of .222, but his ability to draw walks and hit home runs keeps him relevant in fantasy formats that value power and on-base percentage. His .321 wOBA indicates some effectiveness, but fantasy managers should remain cautious due to his high strikeout rate and low BABIP, which suggest potential for both continued struggles and slight improvements.

Thairo Estrada (hamstring) is in the lineup for the Giants Saturday. (Source: Maria Guardado on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Estrada was removed from Wednesday’s game with hamstring tightness and did not play Friday. He appears to have avoided any serious injury and fantasy managers should feel comfortable returning him to their lineups.

Alex Cobb’s imaging on his right shoulder came back negative. (Source: Susan Slusser on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Cobb was removed from his throwing program after reporting soreness in his shoulder. The team still does not have a timetable for his return and will likely continue to monitor the veteran closely when he resumes a throwing program.

Patrick Bailey went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Giants' 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: His walk-off blast accounted for all three runs in a game where offense was at a premium. Bailey's performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .297 batting average and contributing significantly with 10 RBI and three homers over 20 games. His ability to drive in runs, evidenced by his key home run in this game, adds value to fantasy rosters, especially in formats that reward power numbers from the catcher position. While his strikeout rate remains a concern, his production in terms of RBI and home runs should keep him relevant in fantasy lineups.

Kyle Harrison delivered a standout performance in the Giants' 3-0 victory over the Pirates on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: He tossed six scoreless innings, allowing just five hits with no walks and striking out seven. This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers, especially considering his somewhat elevated 4.09 ERA and 1.24 WHIP coming into the game. Harrison's ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (8.5 K/9) while minimizing walks (6.20 K/BB ratio) was on full display, suggesting potential for more consistent performances ahead. His 3.98 FIP indicates he might be pitching better than his ERA suggests, making him a potentially undervalued asset in fantasy leagues. Keep an eye on his next starts, as they could confirm whether this game was a turning point or just a pleasant anomaly.

Fantasy Impact: Lee is back after sitting out Wednesday for regular rest, patrolling center field and batting leadoff against the Pirates for manager Bob Melvin Friday.

Tyler Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Giants' 8-2 defeat to the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: This game marked Fitzgerald's first home run of the season, adding a slight boost to his modest .269 batting average. Despite the Giants' struggles, Fitzgerald's performance could be a sign of him finding his power stroke, which fantasy managers have been eagerly anticipating given his previous lack of long balls this season. Fantasy managers should monitor if this home run sparks a trend or remains an outlier in his hitting profile.

LaMonte Wade Jr. is not in the starting lineup for the Giants Wednesday. (Source: Shayna Rubin on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Wade will take a seat on the bench with a left-hander on the mound. Wilmer Flores will draw the start at first base and hit second for the Giants.

Logan Webb delivered a masterful performance on Tuesday, allowing no earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over eight innings in the Giants' 5-1 victory over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: This outing continues a strong start to the 2024 season for Webb, who now boasts a 2.33 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP through seven starts. His ability to suppress runs while maintaining a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.71 and a reasonable BABIP of .297 suggests that his success is not solely due to good fortune. Fantasy managers should view Webb as a reliable starting option. His consistent performance, underscored by a low FIP of 2.87, indicates potential for sustained success throughout the season.

Michael Conforto helped the Giants secure a 5-2 victory over the Mets, delivering a solid performance at the plate.

Fantasy Impact: Conforto went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and one RBI. This outing continues a decent season for Conforto, who now boasts a .271 batting average with five homers and 16 RBI through 22 games. His power numbers are aligning with expectations, though his walk rate remains lower than ideal.

Matt Chapman played a solid role in the Giants' 5-2 victory over the Mets, going 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a stolen base.

Fantasy Impact: This performance, while not explosive, contributes positively to his somewhat tepid .226 season batting average. His ability to drive in runs, now totaling 14 RBI, coupled with his occasional extra-base hits and stolen bases, offers some utility in deeper fantasy leagues.

Fantasy Impact: Avila struggled with the Giants, posting a 7.04 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP. He was sent down as the corresponding move after the team activated Luke Jackson from the injured list.
