The move was made to open a spot for Jeff Kobernus on the active roster. The once highly-hyped Cuban defector, the 31-year-old Maya owns a career 5.80 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 59 major league innings. With his salary, he’s unlikely to attract much interest from other teams.

The 23-year-old outfielder held his own during his time with the big league club, slashing a respectable .253/.376/.275 with zero homers, nine RBI and four stolen bases in 110 plate appearances with the Rangers. His demotion likely means that Wyatt Langford will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest.

The 28-year-old southpaw trigged the upward mobility clause in his contract with the Pirates, meaning that they had to either trade him or grant him his unconditional release. The Pirates will receive cash considerations in return. La Sorsa has compiled a 3.46 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 22/6 K/BB ratio over 26 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis this season.

It’s the fifth consecutive game that Garcia has missed since suffering a hamstring strain over the weekend. The good news is that he has been making steady improvements and will be available off the bench on Thursday. The expectation now is that he returns to the team’s starting lineup at some point over the weekend and is able to avoid a stint on the injured list.

Lee has remained hot since his 11-hit outburst at Coors Field over the weekend, going 8-for-14 in the four games against the Brewers. He’s all of the way up to fourth in the majors with his .322 average, putting him just behind teammate Luis Arraez in third place at .325.

Houser allowed one run in four innings before giving up a double, a homer and another double with one out in the fifth. The Giants didn’t trust him to get through the inning at that point, denying him a chance to qualify for the win. It’s the third straight outing in which Houser has failed to complete five innings, and he remains 2-5 with a 5.49 ERA overall. He’s due to make his next start Tuesday against the Nationals.

Wilkin Ramos started the ninth today with a 12-6 lead, but he was pulled after two singles and two walks made it 12-7 and a save situation. Kilian came in and struck out Andrew Vaughn, induced an RBI groundout and then allowed an RBI single to make it 12-9. That brought up David Hamilton as the tying run with two outs, and Hamilton hit a 395-foot fly to center that was caught a couple of steps shy of the wall. It’s Kilian’s first ninth-inning appearance and save since he gave up five runs to the Rockies in a blown save last Friday. He’s pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings since that, so he’s still very much in the mix for saves in the San Francisco pen.

Crow’s cutter and curveball produced many strikeouts in the minors, but it’s going to be tougher sledding in the majors while he’s throwing 89-93 mph with his four-seamer and sinker. Nine of the 18 Giants to face him today came away with hits and a couple of others walked. Crow has a 5.94 ERA and a 13 percent strikeout rate through four big-league starts. With fresh arms needed, it seems pretty likely that he’ll be sent down prior to the Brewers’ series opener Friday in Colorado.

Jackson Chourio might have had a play on the 406-foot shot to center, but he misjudged it a little at the wall. Haase’s previous slams came in 2021 and ’22 with the Tigers. He has four homers in 41 plate appearances since the Giants called him up on Apr. 21.

It’s Chourio’s third career two-homer game and first since Apr. 6, 2025. It’s also his first time this year finishing with four runs or four RBI. He’s 8-for-13 with four extra-base hits in four games this month, raising his OPS from .721 to .878.

The 27-year-old backstop has been shelved since the beginning of May due to a left oblique strain. It’s not yet known how many games he’ll need behind the dish before he’s cleared to rejoin the Astros, but it sounds like it’s coming soon. Barring any setbacks, he should be back with the Astros before the end of next week.
