Rogers (2-2) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out three over a scoreless inning to earn the win Wednesday over the Rockies.
Rogers made things interesting but kept the Giants within a run in the seventh inning. He's pitched 6.1 consecutive scoreless innings, and he's given up just one run in his last 18 appearances. The southpaw got off to a rough start in 2023, but he's recovered to a 3.54 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB through 20.1 innings while adding a save and three holds in 24 appearances. He should continue to feature as part of the bridge to closer Camilo Doval.

Giants' Camilo Doval: Picks up 15th save
Rotowire
Doval struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Doval's last two appearances came in non-save situations. He was able lock down his 15th save of the campaign with just 12 pitches. He's converted all 12 of his save chances since the start of May, and the Giants' improved play in recent weeks has allowed him to get more looks. For the season, the hard-throwing righty has a 2.03 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB over 26.2 innings.

Giants' Logan Webb: Yields four runs
Rotowire
Webb allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Wednesday.
Webb gave up the first four runs of the game, but the Giants rallied over the seventh and eighth innings to get him off the hook. This was his second-shortest outing of the season, though it's no surprise pitching in Colorado gave him some trouble. The right-hander has allowed seven runs over his last 12.1 innings, following a four-start stretch in which he gave up just three runs over 27 innings. Webb's at a 3.09 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 85:17 K:BB through 84.1 innings across 13 starts overall. He's lined up for a road start versus St. Louis next week.

Cobb will start for the Giants on Thursday in Colorado, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
The team had been considering an opener/bulk reliever situation but instead will go with Cobb, who will be on normal rest. The Giants could use an opener Friday against the Cubs instead.

Giants' J.D. Davis: Not in lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Davis is not in the lineup Wednesday night at Colorado.
Casey Schmitt will cover third base and bat eighth versus the Rockies and right-hander Connor Seabold. This appears to be a planned day off for Davis, who's delivered an impressive .286/.371/.481 slash line with nine home runs and 34 RBI through 56 games this year with San Francisco.
Yastrzemski went 0-for-4 with two walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.
Yastrzemski was the only member of the Giants' starting lineup to fail to record a hit. He was dealing with a minor side injury Sunday that kept him out of the lineup versus the Orioles. The outfielder should be back in his usual role if the injury doesn't pop up again. He's at a .257/.319/.461 slash line with six home runs, 16 RBI, 27 runs scored and 11 doubles through 41 contests this season, and he's been solid lately by hitting safely in nine of his last 11 games.

Giants' Patrick Bailey: Three extra-base hits in win
Rotowire
Bailey went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one triple, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.
Bailey took advantage of the Colorado air to pummel some extra-base hits. The catcher has logged four multi-hit efforts over his last nine contests, and he continues to see regular playing time behind the dish. He's also struck out 11 times over his last six games, and he's at a 31.6 percent strikeout rate on the year. Bailey has added a strong .309/.321/.545 slash line with two home runs, 13 RBI, six runs scored, five doubles and a triple in 15 games. It's unclear if Bailey's shown enough to stay in the majors once Joey Bart (groin) is activated from the injured list.

Giants' LaMonte Wade: Perfect at plate Tuesday
Rotowire
Wade went 3-for-3 with a double, three walks, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.
It doesn't get much better than that for a leadoff hitter. Wade has done an excellent job of setting the table lately, going 19-for-52 (.365) with eight walks over his last 13 games. This was his sixth multi-hit effort in that span. The 29-year-old is up to a .285/.429/.480 slash line with eight home runs, 19 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles and two stolen bases through 58 contests in what's been an excellent bounce-back campaign.

Giants' Joc Pederson: Solid in return
Rotowire
Pederson went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.
Pederson missed over three weeks with a hand injury. With the Giants taking control of the game early, he ceded his spot in the lineup to pinch hitter Wilmer Flores in the seventh inning. Pederson should be in the lineup as a strong-side platoon option at designated hitter going forward, but he's unlikely to play much versus southpaws. In that role, he's posted a .241/.366/.494 slash line with five home runs, 18 RBI, 13 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 27 contests.

Giants' Michael Conforto: On base twice in return
Rotowire
Conforto went 1-for-3 with a walk and one RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.
Conforto was out for a week while dealing with a bruised left heel. He played six innings before Austin Slater entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh in a blowout contest. Conforto hit .373 with seven home runs over his last 18 games in May prior to the injury. The outfielder is at a .250/.348/.459 slash line with 11 homers, 29 RBI, 32 runs scored and two stolen bases through 51 contests overall. Fantasy managers will hope he can pick up where he left off.

Giants' Thairo Estrada: Effective in return
Rotowire
Estrada went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a walk and one RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.
Estrada spent the minimum 10 days on the injured list with a wrist issue, and he was one of many effective hitters for the Giants on Tuesday. He hit safely in nine of his 10 games prior to his IL stint, so it's a positive to see him pick up where he left off with his sixth game of three or more hits this year. For the season, the second baseman is slashing .308/.354/.480 with six home runs, 13 stolen bases, 18 RBI, 30 runs scored and 14 doubles through 48 contests. He should be able to reclaim an everyday role.

Giants' Ryan Walker: Snags second win
Rotowire
Walker (2-0) struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Rockies.
Walker pitched the second inning ahead of Sean Manaea's bulk-relief outing after John Brebbia opened the game. This was Walker's sixth scoreless appearance in seven outings, and he's allowed zero baserunners four times. The right-hander has a 1.04 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB through his first 8.2 big-league innings. The Giants currently have a rather crowded bullpen while only three starters are healthy, but Walker's pitching well enough to keep his low-leverage spot for a while.

Giants' Sean Manaea: Fades late as bulk reliever
Rotowire
Manaea allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over 4.2 innings Tuesday versus the Rockies. He did not factor in the decision but picked up a hold.
Manaea started to get into some trouble in the seventh inning, but the Giants had built up enough of a lead to cruise to the win. Over his previous four appearances, he'd yielded just two runs (one earned) across 10.2 innings, but this was a modestly successful outing in Colorado for the struggling southpaw. He's at a 6.10 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 52:20 K:BB through 41.1 innings over 13 appearances (six starts) this season. Manaea's likely to continue in this bulk-relief role for his next projected appearance over the weekend versus the Cubs.

Schmitt will take a seat Tuesday versus the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Schmitt will get a day off after he went 1-for-12 with a double and four strikeouts while starting all three games of the Giants' series with Baltimore. Veteran Brandon Crawford will replace him at shortstop and bat ninth in the series opener with Colorado.

Giants' Michael Conforto: Starting Tuesday
Rotowire
Conforto (heel) is starting in right field and batting fifth Tuesday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Conforto will return to the starting lineup for the first time since Wednesday's loss to the Pirates, starting in right field after a four-game absence with a bruised left heel. The 30-year-old had been on a tear prior to his injury, batting .393 with six homers, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base over his final 16 games in May.

Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Ready to go Tuesday
Rotowire
Yastrzemski (side) is starting in center field and batting seventh Tuesday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Yastrzemski will return to the lineup ahead of the Giants' three-game series in Colorado, starting in center field after missing Sunday's contest with the Orioles. The 32-year-old has recorded at least one hit in nine out of his last 10 games, batting .324 with six extra-base hits, including a homer, over that stretch.
