San Francisco

Giants

Heliot Ramos is up to third. Chapman had hit sixth once and somewhere between second and fifth the rest of the time this year. Chapman is batting just .227/.301/.305 this year, with a 32 percent hard-hit rate way off his career mark of 48 percent. Plus, he’s never been a particularly good RBI guy even in his better seasons. Still, he’ll warm up and resume hitting higher at some point. Unless Rafael Devers is back, there just isn’t much difference in quality among the top seven hitters in San Francisco’s lineup.

Webb was expected to make his next start Monday after dealing with the knee last time out, but given his struggles this season, a two-start break seems like a better idea. Trevor McDonald will fill in for him and start either Monday or Tuesday against the Dodgers.

McDonald made his 2026 debut last week, allowing one run over seven innings against the Padres. He was sent down afterwards, but Logan Webb’s IL placement allows him to rejoin the roster, and he’ll start in Webb’s place against the Dodgers, though he could be pushed back from Monday to Tuesday if the Giants want to slide Adrian Houser ahead of him,

Porter, who played in five games for the Giants last season, will serve another brief MLB stint with Patrick Bailey traded and Daniel Susac not ready to come off the IL just yet. The 30-year-old Porter is 7-for-38 with one homer in 47 plate appearances since making his major league debut with the Royals in 2023.

The stunning early-season trade is now official. Bailey is universally regarded as one of the top defensive specialists in the entire game and should immediately strengthen Cleveland’s entire pitching staff. The 26-year-old backstop is a non-factor at the plate, but he’s a two-time Gold Glove Award winner and seems to fit the mold of what the Guardians front office is looking for in a defensive-oriented starting catcher. It’ll be Bo Naylor heading to Triple-A while veteran Austin Hedges sticks around as his caddy. Bailey’s departure means the Giants are going to roll with youngsters Daniel Susac and Jesus Rodríguez as their catching tandem moving forward.

The trade is now official. Wilkinson, affectionately nicknamed Tugboat, has posted astronomical strikeout rates in the lower minors the last couple years and has looked outstanding at Double-A Akron this season, registering a microscopic 1.59 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 36/9 K/BB ratio across 28 1/3 innings over six starts. The 23-year-old southpaw has a chance to reach the majors next season and projects as a bat-missing back-of-the-rotation X-factor for the Giants, who also pick up a first-round selection in the deal to use later this summer.

There was some concern that Webb would need some time off after experiencing left knee discomfort during his previous start against the Padres. The 29-year-old workhorse appears on track to make his next start against the Dodgers on Monday. However, fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status leading into next week.

Arraez was back at second base following a two-game absence due to a minor thumb issue. He helped put the contest away with a two-run single to right field with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, giving San Francsico a commanding 5-1 lead that they wouldn’t relinquish.

Devers’ homer was a one-out-of-30 ballparks, according to Statcast, traveling a projected 399 feet to dead center in San Francisco. That’s still nice hitting, but it likely would have produced a double elsewhere. Devers now owns an eight-game hitting streak, though this is his first multihit game since it started. He’s batting .348/.385/.696 since the calendar changed to May.

Ray walked four, but the only damage came from a Marcell Ozuna homer in the second. That’s been kind of the pattern for Ray, though; he’s given up eight homers but only 14 runs in 45 2/3 innings. Ray moved to 3-4 with a 2.76 ERA. He’ll face the Dodgers on the road next week, making him benchable in mixed leagues.
