Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Swats homer in loss
Rotowire
Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Rangers.
Yastrzemski has gone 4-for-15 with two homers and four RBI over his last five contests. The outfielder has seen his playing time dip with the emergence of Heliot Ramos, though there's room for both of them in the lineup versus right-handed pitchers. Yastrzemski is at a .214/.286/.393 slash line with seven homers, 25 RBI, 20 runs scored and one stolen base over 186 plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role this season.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Struggles continue in return
Rotowire
Winn (3-7) suffered the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Rangers. He struck out seven.
At least Winn was efficient in needing just 69 pitches while allowing eight baserunners and striking out seven. Otherwise, there wasn't much else good to glean from his start. He allowed five runs in the first two innings, then was pulled in the fifth after allowing a walk and a double, with both runners eventually coming in to score to leave him with a final line of seven runs allowed. The other positive is that Winn was able to return to the hill after landing on the IL with the dreaded forearm strain in mid-May. However, it was more of the same as he had allowed 17 runs in three starts spanning 8.1 innings prior to landing on the injured list. If Winn is able to maintain his spot in the rotation, his next start is tentatively slated to take place next weekend when the Giants host the Angels.

Giants' Robbie Ray: Tracking toward mid-July return
Rotowire
Ray (elbow) is on track to return around the All-Star break, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Ray made his second rehab appearance with the Giants' rookie-level team Saturday, striking out five without allowing a baserunner over two innings. The southpaw began his rehab assignment June 4, and he could have it extended beyond the customary 30 days since he is returning from Tommy John surgery. Ray will likely make some of his rehab appearances in the higher levels of the minors later in the assignment.

Soler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Soler started the previous six games and will head to the bench Sunday after he posted a .667 OPS during that stretch. Wilmer Flores will serve as the designated hitter while Trenton Brooks starts at first base.

Giants' Matt Chapman: Sitting with hamstring issue
Rotowire
Chapman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers due to a hamstring cramp, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The 31-year-old felt the cramp during Saturday's contest and will receive Sunday off. Casey Schmitt will take over at third base for the Giants, while Chapman should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Astros.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Activated for Sunday's start
Rotowire
Winn (forearm) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Rangers on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The right-hander landed on the shelf in mid-May with a forearm strain, but he'll rejoin the Giants' rotation after being sidelined for less than a month. Winn delivered three straight quality starts in April but struggled in his final three outings before going to the injured list with 17 runs allowed and a 5:5 K:BB over 8.1 innings.

Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Returns to Triple-A
Rotowire
Fitzgerald was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The 26-year-old was originally in the lineup for Sunday's series finale in Texas but will instead lose his place on San Francisco's roster. Fitzgerald has been a solid bench piece for the Giants this season with a .273/.333/.409 slash line in 72 plate appearances, but for now he'll head back to the minors.

Giants' Erik Miller: Picks up first big-league win
Rotowire
Miller (1-2) allowed a hit and struck out two over one scoreless inning to earn the win over the Rangers on Saturday.
Starter Spencer Howard came up one out shy of qualifying for the win. That left the decision to Miller, who got the last out of the fifth inning and two more in the sixth to contribute his part of 4.1 scoreless innings by the Giants' bullpen. Miller is on a 6.1-inning scoreless streak and has pitched to a 3.60 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 38:15 K:BB with 10 holds and two blown saves through 30 innings this season. He's also opened four games and continues to operate in whatever role is needed of him from game to game.

Giants' Camilo Doval: Up to 11 saves
Rotowire
Doval earned the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over Texas, working around a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.
Things got dicey for Doval in the ninth, as the Rangers got the tying runs into scoring position with two outs. However, the right-hander would coax a flyout off the bat of Leody Taveras to lock down his 11th save of the year and his second in as many days. The 26-year-old Doval lowered his ERA to 3.91 with a 1.58 WHIP and 31:18 K:BB across 25.1 innings this season.

Giants' Spencer Howard: Goes 4.2 innings again vs. Texas
Rotowire
Howard didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Rangers, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.
Howard ran into some trouble in the first inning, walking the first two batters he faced before ultimately allowing a run on a sacrifice fly. While he'd hold the Rangers scoreless over his final 3.2 frames, Howard would wind up an out shy of qualifying for the win. The 27-year-old right-hander has yet to make it through five innings through his first three outings with the Giants this year, though he's allowed just three earned runs over 13.1 frames. Howard figures to remain in the rotation until Blake Snell (groin) is ready to return. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with the Angels in his next start.

Giants' Heliot Ramos: Powers San Francisco in win
Rotowire
Ramos went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a two-run homer in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Ramos drove in all three San Francisco runs Saturday -- he opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning before launching a two-run homer off Andrew Heaney in the fourth, his sixth long ball of the year and fourth in six games. The 24-year-old Ramos has been on fire of late -- he's logged multiple hits in five of his last six contests, going 11-for-22 with 10 RBI in that span. Overall, Ramos is slashing an eye-popping .327/.419/.554 through 117 plate appearances this season with 23 RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base.

Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Resting versus LHP
Rotowire
Yastrzemski isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.
Lefty Andrew Heaney will start on the hill for Texas, so the left-handed bat of Yastrzemski will stay put in the dugout to begin the game. While he rests, Michael Conforto, Heliot Ramos and Austin Slater will start across San Francisco's outfield.

Giants' Brett Wisely: Sitting versus southpaw
Rotowire
Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.
With lefty Andrew Heaney set to toe the slab for the Rangers, the lefty-hitting Wisely will step out of the lineup. Tyler Fitzgerald will take over at shortstop, batting ninth.

Giants' Patrick Bailey: Getting Saturday off
Rotowire
Bailey isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Rangers.
The switch-hitting Bailey holds only a .656 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, and he'll take a seat Saturday versus Andrew Heaney and the Rangers. Curt Casali will catch for Spencer Howard instead while batting eighth.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Returning Sunday
Rotowire
Winn (forearm) will return from the 15-day injured list and start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
A right forearm strain has kept Winn sidelined since mid-May, though he made a rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, giving up one run on two hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 3.2 innings. The 26-year-old righty allowed 17 earned runs in just 8.1 frames across his last three outings before going on the IL, and it's unclear whether or not he'll be working under any limitations during his first start back.

Giants' Heliot Ramos: Stays hot in win
Rotowire
Ramos went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
Ramos logged multiple hits for the fourth time in the last five games. This was also his third time leading off in that span, and the first time he's been atop the order against a right-handed pitcher (Michael Lorenzen). Ramos is slashing .320/.416/.515 with five home runs, 20 RBI, 12 runs scored and one stolen base over 27 contests. As long as he's swinging a hot bat, it makes sense to have him at leadoff, especially since he's displayed improved plate discipline with a 13.2 percent walk rate this year.
