Brubaker secured the save Saturday against Colorado, allowing a solo home run and no walks in two innings. He struck out two.
Caleb Kilian blew the save in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies and also worked each of the past two days for the Giants, so the club called upon Brubaker for his first save chance of the year Saturday. San Francisco has struggled for stability at closer largely due to Ryan Walker's season-long struggles, leaving the door open for Brubaker to see more high-leverage work. Brubaker has a 2.87 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 33:20 K:BB with three holds over 47 innings.

Giants' Tyler Mahle: Seven innings of one-run ball
Rotowire
Mahle (2-8) earned the win Saturday against the Rockies, allowing one run on five hits and three walks in seven innings. He struck out four.
Facing a soft matchup at home against the last-place Rockies, Mahle delivered one of his finest outings of the campaign Saturday. The 31-year-old right-hander matched a season high in innings during his second quality start of 2026, emptying the tank for a season-most 104 pitches as well. Despite Saturday's gem, Mahle still has a lackluster 5.31 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 73:32 K:BB over 78 innings ahead of the All-Star break.
The Giants selected Martinez with the No. 118 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
Martinez, a senior out of Hofstra, has already had Tommy John surgery and sits around 93 mph with his fastball while touching 97 mph. Scouts like Martinez's slider and that could serve him well in a bullpen role if the Giants don't develop him as a starter.

Giants' Peyton Bonds: Chosen by Giants
Rotowire
The Giants selected Bonds with the No. 90 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
The son of Bobby Bonds Jr. and nephew of Barry Bonds, Peyton's name has been gaining helium late in the draft process, and he logged a 113-mph max EV at the combine without visibly selling out. An Adonis at 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, Peyton is three inches taller than his uncle, but he hit just six home runs while slashing .352/.436/.535 with 13 steals, a 12.7 percent strikeout rate and a 9.6 percent walk rate in 36 games this spring for Rutgers. A hamstring injury limited him this spring, and that will be worth tracking going forward, given his chiseled frame. It's a hit-over-power profile on paper, but a lot of the appeal assumes there is more over-the-fence potential, given his frame, bat-to-ball ability and raw power. Bonds can stick in center field and gets high marks for his intangibles.

Giants' Kaden Waechter: Taken by San Francisco
Rotowire
The Giants selected Waechter with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
The 6-foot-3 right-hander's fastball sits around 93 mph and has the potential for more velocity as he fills out his frame, with the pitch already playing up a bit. Waechter also has a strong slider and continues to work on a cutter and changeup.

Giants' Carson Bolemon: Goes in top 30
Rotowire
The Giants selected Bolemon with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
Bolemon, a 19-year-old prep lefty from South Carolina, may have peaked last summer when he established himself as the top arm in the class with a dominant showcase circuit and impressive showing for Team USA's 18U National Team. Before his senior season, he'd already achieved a lot, winning player of the year honors while winning state titles. But his stuff backed up in 2026, with his fastball dipping from the mid-90s in 2025 to the low-90s this spring, even hitting 89 mph at times while the pitch got hit harder than expected. He had internal brace surgery after suffering a partial elbow tear in eighth grade and is older than the other top prep arms in the class. Bolemon has a bevy of quality secondary offerings and excellent feel and command to go with a sturdy 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, but there's no denying his stock took a hit this spring.

Giants' Jackson Flora: Going to San Francisco
Rotowire
The Giants selected Flora with the fourth overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
Flora stands out for his athletic, slender 6-foot-5 frame and his cockiness on the mound, but in fairness, he had a lot to be proud of the last two seasons for UC Santa Barbara. The 205-pound righty had a 22.3 K-BB% as a sophomore and a 25.3 K-BB% and 1.06 ERA in 102 innings as a junior after working as a reliever as a freshman. There's some effort in his delivery, but he sits in the mid-90s with his fastball and touches triple digits with excellent riding life up in the zone. He utilizes multiple sliders and recently added a kick-change and a curveball as he seeks to round out his arsenal, which was primarily fastball-slider coming into 2026. Flora has a very high ceiling if he stays reasonably healthy and is able to find a reliable third pitch. He should move quickly through the minors and could debut next summer.

Giants' Drew Gilbert: Doubles in defeat
Rotowire
Gilbert went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.
After going hitless in his previous two games, Gilbert lined a double to left field in the fourth inning. Across 17 plate appearances in July, he's batting .313 with three RBI, two doubles and a home run. Overall, the 25-year-old outfielder is slashing .235/.319/.377 with 21 runs scored, 19 RBI and four long balls in 209 plate appearances this season.
Arraez went 3-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.
Arraez collected his fourth multi-hit effort over his last seven games. He's also picked up two steals in that span and now has eight thefts on the year, three shy of matching his career high from the 2025 regular season. The contact hitter is batting .331 with an .832 OPS, four home runs, 35 RBI, 47 runs scored, 21 doubles and seven triples over 89 contests.

Giants' Rafael Devers: Powers offense in loss
Rotowire
Devers went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two additional RBI in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.
Devers opened the scoring with a second-inning homer and added an RBI single in the seventh and a sacrifice fly in the ninth. He has gone 12-for-32 (.375) with four homers and eight RBI over nine contests in July. For the season, the infielder is batting .253 with an .808 OPS, 19 homers, 52 RBI, 48 runs scored, 25 doubles and one triple over 94 games.

Giants' Caleb Kilian: Blows save chance
Rotowire
Kilian (2-5) allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while failing to record an out, taking the loss and a blown save in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.
Kilian has three blown saves this season, and two have come during a six-appearance stretch in which he's allowed nine runs over 4.2 innings. The reliever's hold on the closing job for the Giants is likely weakening with each poor performance. He's now at a 4.74 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 47:18 K:BB through 38 innings this season while converting eight of 11 save chances and adding three holds. Given the Giants' poor placement in the standings, trusting Kilian or other relievers on the team for steady save chances is a risky fantasy strategy.

Giants' Robbie Ray: Shaky command in no-decision
Rotowire
Ray allowed one run on four hits and six walks while striking out four over five-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Friday.
Even by his standards, this was a poor showing in the command department for Ray, who threw just 53 of 100 pitches for strikes. It snapped his four-game winning streak, but he still hasn't allowed more than three runs in each of his last five outings. For the season, Ray is at a 3.38 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 90:52 K:BB through 106.2 innings over 19 games (18 starts). He's done well with run prevention this season considering his 4.4 BB/9 is second-worst in the majors, better than only Joey Cantillo.
Chapman (abdomen) will not participate in baseball activities over the weekend, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
There was hope that Chapman could return to the active roster before the All-Star break when he initially landed on the injured list July 1 with an abdominal strain, but the team's decision to hold him out of all activities will officially rule him out for the final three games of the first half. The 33-year-old said Wednesday that he hasn't seen any significant improvement in his recovery, and his absence could bleed into the second half if his progress remains minimal during the intermission.

Giants' Grant McCray: Recalled from Sacramento
Rotowire
The Giants recalled McCray from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
With Victor Bericoto moving to the injured list with an oblique injury, the Giants will bring McCray back onto the big-league roster to bolster their outfield depth. The 25-year-old has slashed .237/.360/.370 across 211 plate appearances with Sacramento and could make a handful of starts with the Giants while Bericoto and Harrison Bader (foot) are both on the IL.

Giants' Victor Bericoto: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Giants placed Bericoto on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left oblique strain.
Bericoto had to make an early exit from Thursday's game after injuring his oblique while making a diving catch, and he'll now be forced to sit out until at least shortly after the All-Star break. Grant McCray was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to replenish the Giants' depth in the outfield.

Giants' Carson Whisenhunt: Relegated to Sacramento
Rotowire
The Giants optioned Whisenhunt to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
Whisenhunt gave up two runs in 5.2 innings during his spot start against Colorado on Thursday, but he'll now return to the minors in order to make room for Keaton Winn's (elbow) return from the injured list. Whisenhunt now owns a 3.38 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 10.2 frames in the majors this season, and he could be an option to return to San Francisco later in the year if the big club's rotation depth is tested.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Returns from IL
Rotowire
The Giants reinstated Winn (elbow) from the injured list Friday.
Winn will return to the Giants' bullpen after spending nearly a month on the shelf due to a right elbow strain. During his rehab assignment, the 28-year-old fired three scoreless innings while striking out three batters and walking two across three appearances. Now healthy, he figures to reclaim a high-leverage role and could be in the mix for saves if Caleb Kilian continues to struggle.
