Wisely went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Wisely lined a two-run double to right field in the sixth inning, giving the Giants a 7-1 lead. He added a single in the eighth, delivering his second multi-hit performance through four appearances in July. During that span, he's batting .385 with four RBI, two runs scored, two doubles and one home run across 13 plate appearances.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a hit-by-pitch in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Chapman returned to game action after being placed on the 10-day injured list June 10 due to a sprained right hand. The veteran third baseman was plunked in the first inning before coming around to score. He singled in the third, leading to another run. Chapman is slashing .245/.365/.451 with 37 runs scored, 30 RBI, 12 home runs and seven stolen bases across 277 plate appearances this season.

Woodruff (elbow/ankle/shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday against the Marlins.

Woodruff will make his first MLB appearance since Sept. 23, 2023 now that he's made a full recovery from shoulder surgery along with minor ankle and elbow injuries suffered during his minor-league rehab assignments. The 32-year-old has pitched in 10 minor-league games this season across multiple assignments, and he threw 82 pitches across 3.2 frames in his final rehab outing with Triple-A Nashville last weekend. The Brewers are likely to be cautious with Woodruff given the long layoff, but he shouldn't be facing significant workload limitations.

Atlanta optioned Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

After Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) landed on the injured list earlier this week, Atlanta went with a bullpen day in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Orioles when his turn in the rotation came up. Aaron Bummer recorded Atlanta's first seven outs before Dodd entered and allowed two earned runs on two hits over 2.2 innings. Since Dodd tossed 39 pitches Saturday and was unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for another day or two, Atlanta opted to swap him off the 26-man roster for a fresh bullpen arm in Jesse Chavez, who was called up from Triple-A.

Atlanta selected Chavez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Chavez will regain a spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster for the third time this season, as he had previously elected free agency and re-signed with the organization on minor-league deals after being designated for assignment on two occasions in April. Since signing his latest contract May 1, the 41-year-old righty has pitched well for Gwinnett, logging a 2.22 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB in 24.1 innings. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role for Atlanta.

Quantrill didn't factor in the decision Saturday against the Brewers after allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out six.

The right-hander needed 71 pitches to record just 11 outs and remains without a victory in his past eight outings. Quantrill hasn't pitched horribly during that stretch with a 4.29 ERA and 1.32 WHIP, but he's lasted long enough to qualify for the win in just half of those games. Through 17 starts this season, he has a 5.40 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 62:23 K:BB across 76.2 innings.

Atlanta transferred Schwellenbach (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Schwellenbach felt soreness in his elbow a day after a June 28 start against the Phillies and was sent for further tests, which revealed a small fracture. The 25-year-old is expected to be shut down from throwing for at least four weeks and is unlikely to return to the Atlanta rotation until September, so his move to the 60-day IL won't affect his recovery timeline. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Jesse Chavez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

With Sunday's series finale beginning at 11:35 a.m. EDT and with southpaw Trevor Rogers on the bump for the Orioles, Harris will get a breather. The center fielder started each of Atlanta's first five games of July -- three against righties, two against lefties -- and went 4-for-20 with a triple, a stolen base and a run.

Bachar didn't allow a baserunner or strike out a batter in the ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Brewers.

Calvin Faucher and Ronny Henriquez pitched the seventh and eighth innings of a 2-2 game, and Bachar was called upon for the save chance after Miami scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth. The right-hander has been a reliable bullpen option for Miami this year with a 3.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB over 41 innings, and he hasn't been scored upon in his past 11.1 frames. Bachar isn't likely to see regular save chances but could get the occasional opportunity when Miami's top arms have already been used or are unavailable.

Adames went 3-for-5 with four RBI during Saturday's 7-2 win against the Athletics.

Adames didn't provide any extra-base hits, but he singled with the bases loaded in the first and third innings to provide San Francisco with an early lead. It's the sixth three-hit game of the campaign for the veteran shortstop, who has gone 10-for-23 with two doubles, a homer, six RBI and five runs during a six-game hit streak.
