Flores went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Pirates.

Flores has hit safely in six straight games, and he's batting .342 with a home run, three RBI and five runs scored through 12 games in August. The 31-year-old infielder has started seven of the last 10 contests, but his playing time is likely to be a bit more limited with the Giants' infield at essentially full health. For the season, Flores has been steady with a .258/.342/.448 slash line, 16 homers, 58 RBI, 58 runs scored and 22 doubles through 421 plate appearances.

Wade went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Pirates.

Wade helped the Giants jump out to an early lead with his second-inning homer. This was his fourth long ball in his last seven contests, and he's added seven RBI and six runs scored in that span. He's showing some signs of life at the plate, but he's still slashing a meager .200/.315/.457 with seven homers, 21 RBI, 14 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 125 plate appearances.

Tellez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Tellez launched a ninth-inning solo homer, but it was too little, too late with the Brewers down 6-2. It was his fourth home run this month and his 24th of the year. Although he has picked up nine hits this month, Tellez's batting average has only improved one point to .237 since the start of August thanks in part to his eight strikeouts.

Freeman went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in a 4-0 loss Sunday in Kansas City.

Freeman reached on an error and stole second base in the eighth inning. It was his 10th steal in 12 tries this season, tying his career high for stolen bases in a season. Since the beginning of July, he's posted a .352/.422/.570 line with six homers and an 18:16 BB:K in 38 games.

Walker went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, a run and four RBI in a 7-4 victory over Colorado on Sunday.

Walker opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning, connected on a 460-foot three run home run in the third, singled in the fifth and doubled again in the ninth for his first four-hit game of the season. The outburst comes on the heels of him reaching base four times Tuesday, and the 31-year-old is 10-for-21 with three walks across his last six games. The long ball was Walker's 27th and pulls him into a tie with Anthony Rizzo for eighth most in MLB.

Toglia was promoted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 10.

Toglia spent the entire season with Double-A Hartford, and he managed to maintain a .347 wOBA and 114 wRC+ across 420 plate appearances. He also struck out at a 30.2 percent clip, which will be something to monitor as he continues to progress through the upper levels of the minor leagues and into the majors. After playing exclusively at first base in 2021, Toglia has played a handful of games in right field -- a move that could accelerate his path to Colorado.

Olson went 3-for-9 with two home runs and four RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Olson homered in each game of the doubleheader, bringing his total on the season to 24. He's now gone yard in three consecutive games and has at least one hit in eight of his last nine contests. For the season, Olson now has a .250/.337/.493 line across 505 plate appearances.

Wade went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored, a double and a walk in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Pirates.

Wade went yard off former Giant Tyler Beede in the third inning, which was the last run in this low-scoring contest. Through nine contests in August, Wade has gone 5-for-18 (.278), though all of those hits have gone for extra bases (three homers, two doubles). The 28-year-old's batting average reached .200 for the first time since July 7 with this multi-hit effort, and he's added a .759 OPS, six long balls, 18 RBI, 13 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 120 plate appearances this year.

Montero went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Montero has been in the lineup for 10 consecutive games at a combination of first and third base as well as at designated hitter. He's hit .368 in that span with a home run, six RBI and five runs scored. Though Montero may not have a consistent defensive position, the Rockies appear to be intent on giving him regular playing time down the stretch of the season.

Rivas was returned to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Rivas was called up as the 27th man for Thursday's Field of Dreams Game against the Reds, but he'll head back to the minors following the matchup. Over 16 games in Iowa this year, he's slashed .344/.394/.508 with a home run, 11 runs and eight RBI.
