Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Torres will retreat to the bench for the second time this season, just as he's starting to settle into a groove at the plate. He's currently in the midst of a five-game hitting streak during which he's collected three doubles, but Torres remains without a home run on the season. Gio Urshela will shift over from third base to spell Torres at shortstop in the series finale with Detroit.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Padres.

Dubon put the Giants on the board in the fifth inning with a solo shot to left field off Blake Snell. The homer was Dubon's first of the campaign and accounted for his seventh RBI. He is slashing a meager .192/.232/.308 overall this season but has picked it up of late, batting .333 (7-for-21) with six RBI over his past seven games.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in the 14-6 loss Saturday to the Rockies.

Rojas took Lucas Gilbreath deep to lead off the ninth inning. This was Rojas' third game in a row with a home run. He is heating up at the right time for a team that is dealing with many injuries. The 27-year-old struggled to start the season, but Rojas is batting .394 with four home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs over his last 11 games.

Urias went 2-for-3 with a solo shot and two runs batted in during Saturday's win over the Dodgers.

The 23-year-old hit a solo shot off Dustin May in the second inning and knocked in Keston Hiura in the 10th inning. Urias continues to improve, and he hit an impressive .333/.438/.641 with three homers and 13 RBI over his last 15 games.

Torres went 2-for-4 with three RBI during Saturday's 6-4 win over Detroit.

The 24-year-old delivered his first multi-RBI performance of the season by going 2-for-4 with RISP on Saturday. Torres was off to a slow start in 2021, but he's now riding a modest five-game hit streak and is 8-for-21 with three doubles, a walk, five RBI and two runs during that stretch.

Hernandez has been out of the lineup Friday and Saturday after he ran into the center field wall Thursday, but he's expected to return Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
