The Giants optioned Mathias to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Mathias went 2-for-10 with four strikeouts during his eight-day stay on San Francisco's major-league roster. Johan Camargo will fill his spot ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rays.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that Albies is undergoing more testing on his left hamstring, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Albies was originally diagnosed with a mild hamstring cramp following his departure from Sunday's series finale against the Mets, but he is still feeling sore a day later and is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Yankees. Nicky Lopez will get the start at second base as Albies is further evaluated.

Albies (hamstring) is absent from the lineup Monday versus the Yankees.

Albies was pulled from Sunday's series finale against the Mets due to cramping in his left hamstring. It's not a serious concern, but he'll grab some rest and treatment as the NL East leaders open a three-game set against the Yankees on Monday night in Atlanta. Nicky Lopez is playing second base and batting ninth.

McNeil went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

The 31-year-old has had a difficult season -- one of many on the Mets -- but McNeil appears to be regaining the form that led him to a batting title in 2022. He's slashing .314/.375/.451 so far in August with a double, two homers, five RBI and nine runs through 13 games, numbers right in line with his performance last year.

Chavis went 2-for-4 in Sunday's win over the A's.

Getting the start at second base and batting eighth, Chavis put together his first multi-hit performance since May 28. The 28-year-old has seen a slight uptick in playing time following Luis Garcia's demotion, appearing in four games so far in August and going 4-for-12 with a walk and a run, but Chavis now sits behind jake Alu on the depth chart and isn't likely to move into a starting role down the stretch.

Estrada went 3-for-5 with a double in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Rangers.

Estrada led the way for the Giants with three hits but was left stranded each time. He now has five hits over his last two games and three multi-hit efforts in eight games since returning from a fractured left hand. The 27-year-old has primarily been hitting from the two or three spot in the lineup since returning to action and is now slashing .279/.333/.479 with 30 extra-base hits, 34 RBI, 47 runs, 18 steals and a 17:88 BB:K in 352 plate appearances.

Arraez went 3-for-5 with one triple, three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's victory over the Yankees.

Arraez' ninth-inning triple pulled the Marlins even after starting the frame down four. Arraez had been slumping in August, hitting .222 in 45 at-bats prior to Sunday's performance. While his flirtation with .400 is now a distant memory, Arraez maintains a league-leading .367 batting average. He's also on pace to be the first player to record more than 200 hits in a season since Whit Merrifield and Rafael Devers each accomplished the feat in 2019.

Albies was removed from Sunday's game against the Mets as a precautionary measure due to cramping in his left hamstring.

Albies appeared to be running slower than usual to first base on a groundout in the top of the eighth inning, and he was replaced defensively in the bottom of the frame. He went 0-for-3 with a walk prior to his departure and should be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Yankees.

Trejo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Trejo's fourth-inning blast tied the game at 3-3, but the Rockies' offense stalled out from there. The infielder has gone 4-for-15 over his last seven games while playing in a limited role. He snapped a homer drought of 15 contests dating back to July 16. Trejo hasn't exactly impressed with a .248/.287/.357 slash line, two homers, 19 RBI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases over 168 plate appearances, but he could push for some playing time at second base with Brendan Rodgers struggling.

Alu is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Athletics.

Alu has started nine of the last 12 games, batting .273 with one home run, two steals and a 38.9 percent strikeout rate in 33 at-bats over that stretch. Ildemaro Vargas draws the start at third base, batting sixth.
