San Francisco Giants

Jordan Hicks allowed two earned runs on seven hits over five innings while striking out four in Monday's loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a bit of a mixed bag for Hicks, who managed to avoid issuing any walks but also gave up a considerable number of hits. His season ERA slightly increased to 2.44, and his WHIP now stands at 1.15. Despite the lack of walks, the volume of hits allowed today could be a concern for fantasy managers relying on him for more dominant outings. Moving forward, Hicks's ability to maintain a decent strikeout rate and control the number of hits will be crucial for his fantasy value, especially in leagues where WHIP and ERA are critical metrics.

Luis Matos went 1-for-4 in the Giants' 6-4 loss to the Dodgers with a home run and three RBI.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the loss, Matos's performance was a silver lining as he managed to drive in nearly all of San Francisco's runs with his first home run of the season. Given his sluggish start to the season with a batting average of just .125 through three games, fantasy managers might be wary. However, his ability to produce runs in key situations could hint at potential value in deeper leagues or formats that reward power and RBI.

Fantasy Impact: Bailey is considered day-to-day for now as the team is being cautious in the event it is concussion symptoms. Blake Sabol and Jakson Reetz will see increased playing time behind the plate.

Fantasy Impact: Reetz will take the roster spot of Jung Hoo Lee, who was placed on the IL Monday. Reetz could see playing time until Patrick Bailey is able to return to full health.

Fantasy Impact: Lee suffered the injury Sunday after he crashed into the outfield wall. Fantasy managers should expect Lee to be sidelined for an extended period of time.

Fantasy Impact: Snell struck out seven batters in his first rehab outing. The team has not provided any information on where his next rehab outing will take place, but barring any setbacks Snell should return to the Giants next week.

LaMonte Wade Jr. went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Giants' 6-5 win over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a crucial home run, contributing significantly to the team's narrow victory. Wade Jr.'s season has been marked by a high batting average of .340 and a robust .414 wOBA, indicating his consistent ability to get on base and generate runs. His walk rate of .203 also underscores his excellent plate discipline. While his power numbers aren't overwhelming, with only two home runs on the season, his ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that reward on-base percentage.

Fantasy Impact: Conforto suffered the injury Saturday and was removed from the game in the fourt inning. The Giants have recalled Luis Matos in a corresponding move.

Mason Black pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out two in the Giants' 5-1 victory over the Reds on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a slight step forward for Black, who has struggled with a high ERA and WHIP early in the season. His performance on Saturday showed some control improvements, but the low strikeout total and short outing highlight ongoing challenges. Despite the Giants securing a win, Black's fantasy value remains limited by his high ERA (6.23) and WHIP (1.96), coupled with a modest strikeout rate (6.2 K/9). Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress, but he remains a risky play in most formats.

Matt Chapman went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the Giants' 5-1 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a key home run that helped secure the win for San Francisco. Despite a sluggish start to the season with a batting average of just .213 through 40 games, Chapman's power display in this game could hint at a potential turnaround. His season totals now include five home runs and 18 RBI, but his high strikeout rate (.261) and low walk rate (.055) continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers. Chapman's ability to drive in runs and hit for power keeps him relevant in fantasy lineups, but consistency will be key to his value moving forward.

Fantasy Impact: Slater was removed from Friday’s game with concussion-like symptoms. The Giants have recalled Brett Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento.

Fantasy Impact: Wisely has played well in Triple-A and will join the roster after the Giants have placed Austin Slater on the 7-day IL. He will likely serve as a bench player in his time with the Giants.

Logan Webb took the loss Friday, surrendering two earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a decent strikeout count and managing to go deep into the game, Webb's effort wasn't enough to secure a win, as the Giants fell 4-2. This season, Webb has maintained a solid 3.38 ERA and a 3.01 FIP, suggesting some level of bad luck, possibly indicated by a high .341 BABIP. His WHIP stands at 1.37, paired with a modest 7.1 K/9 rate, which might concern fantasy managers looking for dominant strikeout numbers. Moving forward, Webb's ability to eat innings and maintain a decent ERA should keep him relevant in fantasy rotations, though his limited strikeout upside could cap his ceiling.

Thairo Estrada went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Giants' 4-2 loss to the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: His solo shot contributed the only RBI and run scored for him in the game, marking his sixth homer of the season. Despite the loss, Estrada's power display is a positive sign for fantasy managers, especially given his modest .248 batting average and .302 wOBA this season. However, his low walk rate (0.033) and high strikeout rate (0.204) continue to be areas of concern, limiting his on-base potential. Fantasy managers should view Estrada as a middle-infield option with moderate power but be wary of his potential to negatively impact batting average and OBP categories.

Fantasy Impact: Schmitt will head to the Giants’ roster with Nick Ahmed headed to the IL with a wrist injury. The 25-year-old has played well in Triple-A and should see playing time in Ahmed’s absence.

Fantasy Impact: Ahmed suffered the injury during an at-bat on Thursday and was removed from the game. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento and should see plenty of playing time at shortstop.

Fantasy Impact: Ramos gets the call with Jorge Soler placed on the injured list. He should add some depth in the outfield for the Giants as a result while Soler is sidelined.

Fantasy Impact: Soler will miss at least 10 days after he had been sidelined since this past weekend due to right shoulder soreness. Heliot Ramos was recalled as the corresponding move.

Kyle Harrison delivered a great performance in Tuesday's 5-0 victory over the Rockies, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out two across seven scoreless innings.

Fantasy Impact: This outing is a bright spot in what has been a solid season for Harrison, lowering his ERA to 3.20 and improving his record to 4-1. His ability to limit damage despite a modest strikeout count in this game highlights his efficiency and effectiveness on the mound. With a WHIP of 1.22 and a steadily improving FIP, Harrison is proving to be a reliable option in fantasy rotations.
