The Giants have lost 3 games in a row. 2-6 over their last 8. Fittingly they lost their last game by a score of 6-2. They're 9-13 in May.

Giants' Jeff Samardzija: Walks five in loss
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Samardzija (1-3) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and five walks while striking out two over 4.2 innings against the Astros.
Samardzija breezed through the first four frames, allowing just two hits and an unearned run to that point, but the wheels fell off in the fifth with two walks, a single and a home run. Command has been a major issue all season for the 33-year-old -- he's had more strikeouts than walks in just two starts and sports a mediocre 25:23 K:BB in 34.2 innings. He'll take a bloated 6.23 ERA and 1.64 WHIP into his next start Tuesday in Colorado.

Giants' Tyler Beede: Sent back to Triple-A
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Beede was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Beede will head back to the minors after going unused in his lone game with the big club. He'll likely rejoin the River Cats' starting rotation, where he owns a 6.23 ERA across seven starts and one relief appearance (39 innings).

Giants' Johnny Cueto: Throws from 90 feet
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Cueto (elbow) threw from 90 feet Wednesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
This marks the first of many steps in Cueto's recovery process. He'll continue to build up his arm strength before progressing to bullpen sessions, live bullpen sessions and then ultimately a minor-league rehab stint. The veteran right-hander, who is on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow sprain, won't be eligible to return until the end of June.

Giants' Joe Panik: Eying Friday activation
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Panik (thumb) will likely be activated from the 10-day disabled list Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Panik, who has been sidelined since the end of April with a thumb injury, has gone 2-for-6 with a walk, RBI and run scored in a pair of rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento thus far. He's set to play one more game for the River Cats on Wednesday, and if everything goes off without a hitch, he should be cleared to rejoin the Giants prior to Friday's series opener against the Phillies. Panik, who was hitting .267 across 23 games prior to landing on the DL, figures to immediately slot back in as the team's primary second baseman upon his return.

Giants' Mark Melancon: Expects to be activated Friday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Melancon (elbow) is expected to be activated from the 10-day disabled list Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Melancon has been cleared to rejoin the Giants prior to their weekend series against the Phillies after getting through his fourth and final rehab appearance with no issues. Across four outings with Triple-A Sacramento, the veteran reliever tossed 3.2 scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and striking out four. Melancon is expected to settle into a lower-leverage role upon his initial return, and he'll likely need to pitch well for an extended stretch before manager Bruce Bochy even considers returning him to the ninth inning.

Giants' Jeff Samardzija: Placed on DL
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Samardzija (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
This comes as no surprise, as the Giants already announced that Samardzija is expected to miss his next start due to a bout of shoulder tightness that forced his premature removal from Tuesday's game. Fortunately, an MRI revealed no structural damage, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, leaving the Giants hopeful that he'll miss just one turn in the rotation. Tyler Beede was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding roster move, while Ty Blach and Dereck Rodriguez are both options to fill in for Samardzija in the rotation over the weekend.

Giants' Ty Blach: Out of rotation?
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Blach will either start Sunday's game against the Phillies or be confined to a relief role going forward, Henry Schulman of SFGate.com reports.
The Giants announced that Chris Stratton and Andrew Suarez will start Friday and Saturday, which suggests Blach may be on the outs, as he had been following Stratton. Blach was used out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 11-4 loss in Colorado, which could have just been him throwing in between starts, but now that looks less likely. Rookie Dereck Rodriguez (leg) could be an option to start Sunday if he is deemed healthy, otherwise that start could go to Blach. However, Madison Bumgarner (finger) is expected to rejoin the rotation next week and Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) could be back next weekend, at which point Blach will either join the bullpen full time or be sent to Triple-A.

Giants' Hunter Pence: Role with big club uncertain
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Pence (thumb) may not be guaranteed a spot on the San Francisco roster once his 20-day rehab window at Triple-A Sacramento expires, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
After hitting the 10-day disabled list in mid-April with the thumb injury, began a rehab assignment with Sacramento a little over a week later, appearing in seven games before being shut down after experiencing a setback. Pence restarted the rehab assignment May 12 and has spent the last two weeks with the affiliate, batting a credible .371 over that span. While Pence has informed the Giants that he feels healthy and ready to return from the DL, the big club's commitment to Mac Williamson as its everyday left fielder leaves Pence's role on murky ground. Assuming he's amenable to fourth-outfielder duties, Pence seems more likely than not that he'll return to the Giants in that capacity, but there's a chance -- albeit slim -- that he could be released if the organization doesn't view him as an ideal bench bat. Pence is owed $18.5 million in 2018, the final season of his five-year contract extension, so it's unlikely the Giants would find a team willing to trade for an expensive outfielder in decline.

Giants' Pablo Sandoval: Makes first career start at second base
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Sandoval started at second base Sunday in the Giants' 8-3 loss to the Cubs and went 1-for-3 with an RBI.
Listed at 5-foot-11 and 268 pounds, Sandoval, a career-long corner infielder, wouldn't seem to be an ideal fit for the middle infield, but he acquitted himself well while playing the position for the first time in the majors. Sandoval was immediately tested on the first two plays of the game, with the 31-year-old making a diving stop on the second play before throwing the baserunner out at first base. Though he was later removed from the game in a double switch, Sandoval probably fared well enough defensively to earn additional starts at the position if the Giants want to get a better bat in the lineup than Kelby Tomlinson. It still seems rather unlikely that Sandoval will see enough work at second base to gain eligibility at the position, especially with both Joe Panik (thumb) and Alen Hanson (hamstring) on the cusp of starting minor-league rehab assignments and likely to return from the disabled list in early June.

Pence (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list ahead of Saturday's game against the Phillies, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
As expected, Pence will rejoin the Giants ahead of Saturday's tilt. The 35-year-old, who was hitting just .172/.197/.190 through 17 games prior to landing on the shelf, hasn't played since April 18. He's expected to serve as the team's fourth outfielder moving forward, with Mac Williamson and Gorkys Hernandez sticking in starting roles.

Giants' Brandon Belt: Expected to miss three weeks
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Belt (appendicitis) is expected to miss three weeks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Belt was placed on the 10-day disabled list earlier Saturday after undergoing surgery to have his appendix removed. While it was originally thought that the first baseman wouldn't be forced to spend much longer than the 10-day minimum on the shelf, the Giants are now giving him a three-week baseline for his return. In the meantime, Pablo Sandoval and Buster Posey are expected to fill in for Belt at first base.

Giants' Pablo Sandoval: To see uptick in playing time
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Sandoval should see an increase in starts at first base with Brandon Belt (appendicitis) landing on the disabled list Friday.
Sandoval entered the game for Belt on Friday after the Giants' starting first baseman appeared to fall ill. It turns out he was dealing with appendicitis, and promptly had his appendix removed in the hospital after the game. Belt is expected to be sidelined for a couple of weeks, opening the door for Sandoval and his .265/.326/.386 slash line to see semi-regular at-bats. The Panda will likely head to bench in favor of Buster Posey against lefties -- who he has historically struggled against -- but should still see enough playing time to warrant deep-league consideration in the interim.

Panik went 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI in Friday's 4-0 victory for the Giants over the Phillies.
Panik slotted into the leadoff spot in his first game since coming off the disabled list with a thumb injury, and he looked right at home, roping a pair of hits to help San Francisco to the victory. He's now hitting .280 in 93 at-bats and he figures to resume his role as in the team's everyday lineup going forward.

As expected, Melancon returned from the disabled list Friday after successfully completing his minor-league rehab assignment. He'll need to earn his closing job back by pitching well in low-leverage situations before manager Bruce Bochy can even think about using him in the ninth inning once again. In a corresponding move, Jose Valdez was designated for assignment.

Giants' Evan Longoria: Placed on disabled list
4H AGO • By RotoWire Staff
Longoria was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a fractured hand Friday. Longoria was hit on the left hand by a pitch Thursday against the Marlins. He's expected to miss at least six weeks and could miss over two months if surgery is required. Alen Hanson started in his place Friday, though Pablo Sandoval could slide over from first base once Brandon Belt (appendicitis) returns from the disabled list, which is expected to happen Saturday.

Giants' Hunter Strickland: Out 6-8 weeks with broken hand
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Strickland suffered a broken right hand when he punched a wall following Monday's game against the Marlins. He underwent surgery Tuesday and is expected to be out for the next 6-to-8 weeks, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Strickland suffered the injury after allowing three runs in the ninth inning Tuesday en route to his fourth blown save of the season. Manager Bruce Bochy said that either Tony Watson or Sam Dyson would receive the bulk of the save opportunities moving forward with Strickland on the disabled list. The 6-8 week timeline puts the reliever on track to return in early-to-mid August.

Giants' Mark Melancon: Picks up fourth hold
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Melancon issued a walk over a scoreless inning while picking up his fourth hold in Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Marlins.
Manager Bruce Bochy said that Sam Dyson and Tony Watson would be the primary options to close out games following Hunter Strickland's (hand) placement on the DL, and he stuck to his word by giving Dyson the save while using Melancon in the seventh inning. The former closer has yet to pitch in back-to-back games following his return from an elbow injury earlier this month, which is probably why he wasn't considered as a replacement closing option. Strickland is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks, so there is plenty of time for this situation to shake itself out. That said, it appears that Melancon will continue to be used in a limited role in middle relief for the time being.

It sounds like the Giants are ready to make some big moves at the trade deadline Bumgarner? Belt? Gorkys? Rumor has it this could be their most active and painful trade deadline since the late 90s. By Bryan Murphy@McCoveyChron Jul 9, 2018, 10:15am PDT After the Giants’ losing streak reached four games, I started thinking about an article for today that was basically “What is Andrew McCutchen’s trade value?”, as I saw him as being the best player the Giants would be willing to move at the deadline in order to realize their dream of resetting their Competitive Balance Tax (CBT) penalty while possibly improving for this year or next. But over the weekend, I received the following message from the only reliable industry source I have who’s not named Grant Brisbee: Word on the street is that everyone is on the chopping block minus Posey and Crawford. I know, I know. This isn’t a site for news. But this isn’t a joke! I’ve cultivated exactly one real source and several fake sources since becoming managing editor and this is from that one real source. Since I haven’t been able to confirm with a second source, I acknowledge that we have to exercise a degree of skepticism, but I think this information coupled with Sunday’s trade suggests that the Giants very well could be changing their decades-old strategy of relying on veterans come hell or high water and actually retooling the team more drastically than ever before, perhaps not since Brian Sabean traded Matt Williams. In that scenario, Sabean traded aging players to retool around Barry Bonds. Posey and Crawford are not Bonds’ equal, of course, nor is either likely to continue Hall of Fame-level production beyond the next year or two (Posey has already fallen off drastically and is down to about 4 games a week), but the roster overall might not be quite as dire as previous iterations, including last season, and so the idea of more drastically “reloading” as opposed to tearing it all down could be the new guiding principle. Does this mean I think a TOTAL REBUILD is imminent? No. I don’t believe the Giants will ever go Full Tank and I think the idea of making every player available, save Crawford and Posey (can’t alienate the season ticket holders, after all), doesn’t automatically suggest that they’re punting away 2018. They’ve hovered around .500 all year, and if they can make a couple of big moves now, then they might put themselves in a position to still hang around .500 but with the upside potential of a better 2019 that’s driven by a younger core. I had to take a long walk after reading that text message. I never thought the Giants would even let slip that they were “open for business” in any meaningful way. Their list of “untouchables” would never match up with mine, and after celebrating 60 years in San Francisco, I thought the Giants would always cling to nostalgia over continued success. The idea of this current roster rambling to 81-81 doesn’t really feel like one that will sustain excitement into next year or the next decade, though, and maybe that’s the itch the Giants feel they finally need to scratch. Then again, one of the leading sources of Giants news and rumors, a reporter with access to dozens of people in and around the organization had this to say about big moves: Andrew Baggarly ✔ @extrabaggs "California dreaming" is how one Giants executive described it when asked about any Yankees/Bumgarner trade speculation. Mark Feinsand ✔ @feinsand Would the Giants ever trade Madison Bumgarner? The Yankees need to find out. More on New York’s search for a starter: mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20180707&content_id=284530478&vkey=news_nyy&c_id=nyy … 2:32 PM - Jul 7, 2018 140 58 people are talking about this So while this rumor contradicts that, the tweet doesn’t necessarily contradict the rumor. Maybe the Giants will never trade Bumgarner to the Yankees, but another team is possible. Or perhaps Bumgarner is off-limits but besides him and the other two mentioned, everyone else is fair game. The proof will be in the deadline, of course, but let’s forge ahead anyway. Even if they don’t trade Madison Bumgarner to the Yankees, they wouldn’t need to look any further than the Yankees to see a path forward. The 2016 Yankees finished 84-78, 5 games out of the 2nd Wild Card position, after trading away Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller, Carlos Beltran, and Ivan Nova to four different teams that were all fighting for playoff spots. The Yankees wound up in the ALCS the following season after re-signing Chapman. The Giants could just as easily re-sign Bumgarner in 2020, or simply be in a strong position to sign a Harper or Machado and compete for a postseason spot in 2019 all because of moves made in 2018. Does either guy make up for the loss of an ace? Probably not. But a superstar surrounded by a trove of exciting young players can buoy a team until another ace comes along. A farm director’s work is never finished. There are no guarantees, but there are always possibilities so long as you’re willing to keep your options open, and by (possibly) declaring almost most everyone available in trade, the Giants are at least assuming the most reasonable posture for a team in their situation. Again, possibly. Provided the rumor is accurate. Obviously, it’s that time of the year when all sorts of crazy scenarios start flying, but this one has a little more weight to it than I’d normally believe about the Giants. In the abstract, it sounds too far out of character for them, but the tangible reality (yesterday’s trade) suggests that it just might be true. That means the big shakeup has already happened: the Giants changed their mindset about the past. They’re ready to leave it there. If they can do that, then anything is possible, at the deadline and beyond. |

Giants' Brandon Belt: Shut down minimum five days with bone bruise

Belt (knee) will be shut down from baseball activities for at least five days to let his bone bruise heal, Shayna Rubin of The Athletic San Francisco reports.
The Giants have already placed Belt on the disabled list, and Rubin's report gives a clearer indication of how long he'll be out. Belt will be sidelined until early next week as a best-case scenario before resuming activities, but the Giants figure to have a further update on his outlook towards the end of that five-day window. Look for the Giants to lean on Pablo Sandoval and Buster Posey at first in the interim.

Bumgarner allowed three earned runs on two hits and six walks while striking out five across four innings Saturday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.
Bumgarner threw just 47 of his 92 pitches for a strike, leading to his shortest outing of the season. He has exhibited unusually poor control throughout his nine starts this season and has surrendered a career-worst 3.9 BB/9 as a result. He has been able to limit damage via the long ball this season -- keeping his numbers respectable -- but in order for him to return back to ace status he will have to improve his walk rate.

Giants' Buster Posey: Not in Saturday's lineup

Posey (hip) is out of the lineup against Texas on Saturday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Posey is set to undergo season-ending surgery on his right hip Monday, though he's yet to be placed on the disabled list or taken off the active roster at this point. Per Robert Murray of The Athletic, catching prospect Aramis Garcia will be called up by the Giants, which indicates that Posey's time in 2018 is all but over. That said, unless the Giants make the roster move prior to Saturday's game, there's a chance Posey will be available as a bat off the bench. Nick Hundley will handle the catching duties and hit cleanup.

As expected, the 25-year-old will head to the big leagues to replace Buster Posey (hip) on the active roster, who is out for the season. Garcia didn't hit above .240 at either Double-A or Triple-A this year, but he possesses a bit of pop, as his double-digit home runs three of the past four years suggests. He should get a decent amount of playing time along with Nick Hundley behind the dish the rest of the way.
