Giants' Alex Cobb: Pauses throwing program
Cobb (hip/elbow/shoulder) has been held back from throwing for the last few days due to soreness in his right shoulder, and he is set to see a team doctor Friday night, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.comreports.
Cobb was shifted to the 60-day IL on April 20 to give him more time to recover from his multiple ailments. He underwent left hip surgery in the offseason and was progressing through his rehab assignment following spring training, but he has suffered another setback with right shoulder soreness this time. Cobb's visit with the team doctor Friday night should give him and the Giants a better idea of the next steps forward in his rehab schedule.

Giants' Thairo Estrada: Not starting Friday
Estrada (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Estrada went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's game against the Mets before being pulled due to left hamstring tightness. The Giants had their off day Thursday, but the 28-year-old will sit out for at least one more game while managing his injury. Tyler Fitzgerald will start at second base Friday and bat eighth against Pirates right-hander Quinn Priester.

Giants' Austin Slater: Notches first steal
Slater went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the Mets.
Slater has struggled at the plate this year, but he remains in a short-side platoon role in right field. The steal was his first of the campaign, and he's batting just .115 with one RBI, three runs scored and no extra-base hits over 32 plate appearances. Slater will often play in right field when Mike Yastrzemski is on the bench, but the former's hitting hasn't been strong enough to make much of a fantasy impact.

Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Swats first homer
Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the Mets.
Fitzgerald got the Giants on the board in the seventh inning. He has often found his way into the lineup versus southpaws while also serving as a right-handed bench bat. The utility man is batting .269 with a homer, four stolen bases, three RBI, five runs scored, two doubles and a triple over 28 plate appearances.

Giants' Sean Hjelle: Takes loss Wednesday
Hjelle (0-1) took the loss versus the Mets on Wednesday, allowing three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out two over 2.2 innings.
Blake Snell (thigh) was placed on the injured list Wednesday, forcing the Giants to go with a bullpen game. Hjelle ended up with the most innings of the seven pitchers used, but he was unable to match his success from his season debut Sunday versus the Diamondbacks, when he pitched two innings of one-hit ball. The right-hander was on the shelf with an elbow injury to begin the season, and he'll likely serve as a long reliever for the majority of 2024.

Giants' Thairo Estrada: Battling hamstring tightness
Estrada was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets due to left hamstring tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Estrada reportedly wanted to play through his injury, suggesting that his removal was more of a precautionary decision. The Giants don't play Thursday, so the 28-year-old will get an extra day to recover and may be able to return Friday without missing any time.

Giants' Blake Snell: Out with Grade 2 adductor strain
Giants manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday that Snell could spend more than the minimum 15 days on the injured list after being diagnosed with a moderate left adductor strain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Snell first felt the injury during a recent bullpen session and still was in discomfort when he attempted to throw again, necessitating a move to the IL on Wednesday. After Snell was scratched ahead of his scheduled start, the Giants tabbed Ryan Walker to open Wednesday's contest, with Mitch White being a candidate to cover multiple innings once Walker exits the contest. Melvin didn't provide details on how the Giants plan to fill Snell's spot in the rotation for what will be a multi-week absence.

Giants' LaMonte Wade: Sitting against southpaw
Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
As per usual, the lefty-hitting Wade finds himself on the bench while the Giants face off against a left-handed starting pitcher (Sean Manaea) in the series finale. Wilmer Flores will replace Wade at first base and as the Giants' No. 2 batter.

Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Takes seat for series finale
Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Lee is one of multiple lefty-hitting regulars for the Giants who will take a seat Wednesday as the Mets send left-hander Sean Manaea to the hill for the series finale. Austin Slater steps into Lee's usual spot atop the batting order, while the Giants will roll out an outfield featuring Michael Conforto, Tyler Fitzgerald and Slater from left to right.

Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Sits against lefty Wednesday
Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
With left-hander Sean Manaea on the hill for the Mets, the lefty-hitting Yastrzemski will get a breather in the series finale. Yastrzemski starred in Tuesday's 5-1 win, going 2-for-3 with a run scored while delivered a two-run single in the fifth inning and plating another run with a single in the seventh.

Giants' Ryan Walker: Opening Wednesday's game
Walker will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The Giants will opt for an impromptu bullpen day in the series finale with the Mets after Blake Snell (adductor) was scratched from his scheduled start and placed on the 15-day injured list. New acquisition Mitch White would seem to be a candidate to eat some innings as a bulk reliever Wednesday once Walker exits the contest.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Rejoins big club
The Giants recalled Roupp from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
Roupp was optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, but he'll be back with the Giants one day later after Blake Snell (adductor) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Snell had been slated to start Wednesday's game against the Mets, and though Ryan Walker is now set to serve as the Giants' opening pitcher, Roupp is likely to be part of the Giants' pitching plan either as a multi-inning reliever. Each of his eight appearances with the Giants this season have come out of the bullpen, with Roupp posting a 4.35 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB across 10.1 innings.

Giants' Blake Snell: Headed to IL with adductor strain
The Giants placed Snell on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left adductor strain.
Snell had been scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Mets, but he's been scratched as a result of the injury and will now miss at least a couple weeks. It's not clear when or how he suffered the injury, but Snell has struggled mightily since getting off to a delayed start to his season after signing with the Giants late in spring training. Over his three starts, Snell has posted a 11.57 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB in 11.2 innings. With Snell on the shelf, Ryan Walker will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher Wednesday in a bullpen day.

Giants' Camilo Doval: Earns quick save
Doval retired both batters he faced with one strikeout to earn the save in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mets.
Doval entered the game with runners on the corners and one out after Tyler Rogers allowed a double and two singles before being replaced. Doval made easy work of both hitters he faced, getting Joey Wendle to strike out before inducing a one-pitch groundout to end the game. The 26-year-old closer has converted all four of his save opportunities thus far and owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB in 7.2 innings.

Giants' Logan Webb: Continues scoreless streak
Webb improved to 3-1 on the season in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mets, striking out four over eight scoreless innings while allowing six hits and one walk.
Webb's dominance from his previous outing carried over into Tuesday. The Mets scattered six hits against him with most of it being soft contact and he never had more than one runner on base until his final inning. Webb is up to 19 consecutive scoreless innings, which is the longest streak of his career and he's now gone at least seven innings and allowed one or fewer runs in each of his last three outings. Webb lowered his ERA to a 2.33 to go with a 1.11 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB in 28.2 innings. He'll look to keep things rolling next week on the road against Boston.
