Vosler was recalled by the Giants on Saturday.

Vosler hit well with the club throughout spring training but failed to make the team due to its plentiful infield depth. However, regulars such as Evan Longoria (hamstring), Donovan Solano (calf) and Brandon Crawford (quadriceps) are currently sidelined, leaving the team depleted. That will give Vosler the chance to make his major-league debut, and he should draw the majority of his work at second and third base.

Longoria (hamstring) will sit for the second straight game Saturday against the Marlins, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Longoria left Thursday's season opener with a tight left hamstring and did not play a part in Friday's contest. He's considered day-to-day. Wilmer Flores remains the starter at the hot corner in his absence.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Reds on Friday.

Arenado's timely third-inning hit plated the Cardinals' fourth run of the day and extended the veteran third baseman's hitting streak to four games. The 30-year-old arguably already looks better early in his Cardinals tenure than during an injury-shortened 2020 in Colorado, as he's posted eight extra-base hits (four doubles, four home runs), 11 RBI and an .801 OPS through his first 81 plate appearances.

Senzel isn't starting Saturday's game against the Cardinals, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Senzel will get a breather after he went 4-for-11 with a double, one walk and a strikeout over the last three games. Tyler Naquin will take over in center field Saturday, batting fifth.

Riley went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

He got Atlanta on the board by taking Luke Weaver deep in the second inning. Riley has been very streaky in his brief career and it looks like he's about to go on a tear, as he's homered in consecutive games -- his only two HR of the year so far -- while reaching base in six straight, going 6-for-13 with an extremely impressive 7:2 BB:K over that stretch.

Longoria (hamstring) isn't starting Friday's game against the Marlins, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria exited Thursday's game against Miami due to left hamstring tightness. However, manager Gabe Kapler said that Longoria could be available off the bench Friday if he feels good during the game, Pavlovic reports. Wilmer Flores will start at third base Friday, batting third.

Moustakas (illness) is feeling better Friday and is expected to ramp up his activity over the weekend, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Moustakas was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a non-COVID illness Tuesday, but the issue doesn't appear to be a major concern. If he continues to feel good after participating in baseball activities this weekend, manager David Bell said that Moustakas should return sometime during the Reds' upcoming series against the Dodgers.

Peterson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb injury Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Peterson had previously dealt with a thumb issue throughout March, though he was able to make the Opening Day roster. He's performed well enough in a part-time role, posting a .779 OPS and homering twice in 28 trips to the plate. Kolten Wong (oblique) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Longoria exited Thursday's game against the Marlins with a tight left hamstring, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Longoria was pulled from the game in the fifth inning, though the severity of the injury is not yet known. Wilmer Flores shifted from first to third base, and he would likely remain a fixture in the lineup if Longoria is out for an extended amount of time.

Longoria exited Thursday's contest in the fifth inning, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

There was no immediate reason given for Longoria's exit, though he dealt with plantar fasciitis during spring training. The Giants are already missing Brandon Belt (quadriceps), Donovan Solano (calf) and Brandon Crawford (side) from their infield, so they'll be in a difficult position if Longoria is forced to miss additional time.
