Giants' Willy Adames: Busts slump with big game Tuesday
Rotowire
Adames went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a 9-3 win against the Padres on Tuesday.
Adames had been very quiet coming into Tuesday, going 2-for-15 with six strikeouts and no RBI over his first four games. The veteran shortstop wasted no time erasing the poor start from memory, going deep to left field to lead off the contest. Adames added an infield single in the second inning, an RBI single in the sixth and a double in the eighth to round out his night. He bumped his season OPS from .266 to .800 with the performance.

Giants' Logan Webb: Rebounds in second start
Rotowire
Webb (1-1) earned the win over San Diego on Tuesday, tossing six innings during which he allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out five batters.
After Webb gave up seven runs (six earned) over five innings in an Opening Day loss to the Yankees, Tuesday's quality start was much more in line with what Giants fans (and fantasy managers) have come to expect from the team's ace. Still, it was far from a flawless outing, as the right-hander issued four free passes -- as many as he yielded in any game last season. Webb handed out just one walk in his ugly first start, so his mild wildness against the Padres probably isn't cause for concern, especially given the overall outcome. He's tentatively slated to next take the mound at home against the Mets.
Winn earned a hold and struck out three in a scoreless inning during Monday's 3-2 win over the Padres.
Winn worked the eighth inning in a setup role and struck out the side while throwing nine of his 13 pitches for strikes. The right-hander relied heavily on his splitter, throwing it 10 times and generating five whiffs. The 28-year-old has yet to allow a run through three outings, giving up one walk while striking out six in three innings.

Giants' Harrison Bader: Goes yard in win
Rotowire
Bader went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over the Padres.
Bader launched a 408-foot shot to left-center field in the third inning, accounting for San Francisco's first home run of the season. The veteran outfielder was 1-for-10 with four strikeouts entering Monday's contest, and he's now slashing .143/.143/.357 across 14 plate appearances. He has recorded a hit in back-to-back games and will look to put a rough opening series behind him.
Walker earned a save against the Padres on Monday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter over one inning.
Walker appeared to be in line for a relatively easy save when he entered with a 3-0 lead in the ninth inning, but the veteran reliever struggled to close things out. He issued an inning-opening walk and later served up a two-run blast to Jackson Merrill with two outs. Walker was ultimately able to end the game by getting Xander Bogaerts to ground out to shortstop. This was Walker's third appearance but first save chance of the season. Despite the uneven outing, he has a pretty strong hold on San Francisco's closer role for the time being.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Tosses six scoreless frames
Rotowire
Roupp (1-0) earned the win over San Diego on Monday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over six scoreless innings.
Roupp had some issues with walks during spring training, but he was in complete control in his first outing of the regular season. The right-hander didn't yield any extra-base hits and threw 54 of 88 pitches for strikes while racking up 13 whiffs. Roupp didn't allow more than one runner to reach base in any of his six innings, and he ended his start by getting Manny Machado to ground into a double play. He's beginning the campaign at the back end of San Francisco's rotation, but Roupp can certainly firm up his standing among the team's starters with more outings like the one he had Monday.
Peguero (hamstring) threw a 20-pitch live batting practice session Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Peguero was moved to the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain, so it's a positive sign that he's already been cleared to resume mound work. He'll presumably be re-evaluated Tuesday morning to ensure he didn't suffer any kind of setback, at which point the next step in his rehab could be established. A timetable for Peguero's return has yet to be disclosed by the club.

Giants' Sam Hentges: Tosses live BP on Monday
Rotowire
Hentges (knee/shoulder) threw 20 pitches during his live batting practice in Arizona on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Hentges continues to progress in his recovery from surgeries on his left shoulder and right knee. He opened the season on the 15-day injured list and will need to embark on a rehab assignment before being cleared for major-league action. The last time Hentges pitched in the majors was in 2024 with the Guardians, when he appeared in 25 regular-season games and posted a 3.04 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, nine holds and a 27:5 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

Giants' Willy Adames: Getting turn in leadoff spot
Rotowire
Adames will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Monday's game versus the Padres.
New Giants manager Tony Vitello is shaking up his lineup after his team scored a total of just one run and got swept by the Yankees in its first series of the season. It's just the second time since 2018 that Adames has batted leadoff. He had hit cleanup twice and sixth once across the first three games of the season.

Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: DFA'd by San Francisco
Rotowire
The Giants designated Fitzgerald for assignment Monday.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of trade acquisition Dylan Smith. Fitzgerald flashed upside with the Giants in 2024 with a .831 OPS in 96 games, but he stumbled to a .606 OPS last season while spending a large chunk of the year in the minors. Fitzgerald has some pop and speed, so there could be interest in him via waivers, but a 30.4 percent strikeout rate in the majors is a concern.

Giants' Dylan Smith: Traded to Giants
Rotowire
The Giants acquired Smith from the Tigers on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.
Smith had been removed from the Tigers' 40-man roster last week and is now on the move to a new organization. The 25-year-old reliever has minor-league options and has been assigned to Triple-A Sacramento.
Devers went 2-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Yankees.
Devers singled in the first inning and collected his first extra-base hit of the season with a double in the sixth. The veteran slugger made his third straight start at designated hitter, and manager Tony Vitello said Friday that Devers has yet to play the field due to lingering left hamstring tightness, according to John Shea of The San Francisco Standard. As a result, Casey Schmitt has started at first base in three consecutive contests.

Giants' Luis Arraez: Multi-hit effort in defeat
Rotowire
Arraez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Yankees.
Arraez hit third Saturday after being deployed in the leadoff spot during San Francisco's first two games. The 28-year-old infielder singled in the first inning, advanced to second and then stole third. He also singled in the eighth for his first multi-hit effort of the season. Through three games, Arraez is 3-for-11 with a walk, a strikeout and a stolen base.

Giants' Matt Chapman: Logs RBI in loss
Rotowire
Chapman went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Yankees.
Chapman recorded an RBI single in the third inning, picking up his first hit of the season after going 0-for-5 with three walks over San Francisco's first two games. The veteran third baseman has had a quiet start to the season after putting together a strong spring, during which he slashed .405/.421/.838 with nine RBI, seven runs scored and three long balls across 38 plate appearances in 15 Cactus League games.

Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Doubles in loss
Rotowire
Lee went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Yankees.
Lee shifted to the leadoff spot Saturday and doubled in the third inning before coming around to score San Francisco's lone run. He also drew a walk in the fifth. The 27-year-old outfielder has struggled to begin the campaign, going 1-for-10 with two strikeouts across three games.
