Rafael Devers clobbered his 30th home run of the season on Monday, propelling the Giants to a 7-3 win over the Braves.

Devers took Braves starter Bryce Elder deep in the opening frame for his eighth round-tripper since the start of August, reaching the lofty 30-homer plateau for the second straight season and fifth time since 2019. He also walked twice in this contest. The 29-year-old slugger is one of the few legitimate threats in an injury-depleted Giants lineup and it wouldn’t be shocking to see more teams pitch around him during the final month of the season. He has a real shot at surpassing his previous career-high mark of 38 round-trippers, which he set with the Red Sox back in 2021.
Anthony Molina

SF Relief Pitcher #45

Anthony Molina recorded six strikeouts and allowed three runs over five innings in a win over the Braves on Monday.

Molina’s six punchouts were a career high as he managed to limit his former team to just six hits, including a second-inning solo shot by Michael Harris II, in his first start of the year. The 24-year-old isn’t a recommended fantasy option at this point, but he’s going to get an opportunity to show what he can do over the final month of the season with San Francisco looking ahead to the future. He’s a name to watch in NL-only formats.
Logan Webb

SF Starting Pitcher #62

The Giants will use Anthony Molina as their starter Monday against the Braves and hold Logan Webb back until Tuesday.

Webb will still get two starts this week, but now the first will be against the Pirates, rather than the Braves. That’s probably a good thing, though it hurts a bit that he’ll be matched up against Paul Skenes. Landen Roupp and Blade Tidwell will follow Webb in the series versus the Pirates.
Buddy Kennedy

FA 2nd Baseman #41

Buddy Kennedy has elected free agency.

The 27-year-old infielder was designated for assignment on Thursday and passed through waivers unclaimed. Rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Sacramento, Kennedy will try his luck on the open market.
Matt Wilkinson

SF Starting Pitcher

Giants recalled LHP Matt Wilkinson from Triple-A Sacramento.

Wilkinson was with the Giants on Saturday as the 27th man for their doubleheader against the Diamondbacks, but now he’ll join the active roster with Sam Hentges (forearm) heading to the injured list. It remains to be seen if he’ll remain in the club’s rotation or if he’ll work as a long man out of the bullpen.
Sam Hentges

SF Relief Pitcher #31

Giants placed LHP Sam Hentges on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 27, with a left forearm strain.

No word yet on how long the Giants anticipate the 30-year-old southpaw to be sidelined for, but it could cost him the remainder of the season. Matt Wilkinson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to take his place on the club’s active roster.
Bryce Eldridge

SF Designated Hitter #8

Bryce Eldridge went 4-for-5 with four RBI against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Eldridge had RBI singles in the first and eighth innings and a two-run single in the fifth inning. Eldridge has 16 RBI in 22 games in August. He’s hitting .261 with an .804 OPS and 42 RBI this year.
Yunior Marte

SF Starting Pitcher

Yunior Marte allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Giants’ 7-2 victory over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Marte gave up three hits, walked two and struck out three. He pitched well, but the Giants still removed him from the game after throwing 76 pitches with two outs and no one on base in the fifth inning. Marte isn’t scheduled for another start at the moment, though it’s clear the organization will be careful with how many pitches he throws the rest of the way after he already threw 107 2/3 innings in the minor leagues this year prior to his MLB debut.
Seth Lonsway

SF Starting Pitcher #86

Giants optioned LHP Seth Lonsway to Triple-A Sacramento.

The 27-year-old southpaw was up for the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Diamondbacks where he gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits with a pair of strikeouts in his two innings of work. He’ll continue to serve as extra rotation depth at the Triple-A level.
Yunior Marte

SF Starting Pitcher

Giants selected the contract of RHP Yunior Marte from Triple-A Sacramento.

Marte will make his MLB debut on Saturday, starting the second game of the team’s doubleheader against the Diamondbacks. The 22-year-old hurler has compiled a 3.85 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and a 113/41 K/BB ratio over 107 2/3 innings in 22 appearances (20 starts) between High-A Eugene and Double-A Richmond this season. Seth Lonsway was optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.
