    Giants' Brett Wisely: Retreating to bench

    Wisely is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Wisely went 3-for-12 with a double, three walks and two RBI while starting each of the Giants' last four games at second base, but he'll hit the bench in Monday's series opener. Though Casey Schmitt (wrist) joined Matt Chapman (hand) on the injured list Monday to open up an everyday role at third base for Christian Koss, Wisely's playing time at the keystone could be threatened by the arrival of Tyler Fitzgerald, who was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento. Fitzgerald will get the start at second base Monday and will bat seventh.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Could return for homestand

    Chapman (hand) may be able to return to action ahead of the Giants' six-game homestand beginning July 7 versus the Phillies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Chapman took batting practice Monday, after which manager Bob Melvin said it's possible that the third baseman could be available for the entirety of San Francisco's upcoming homestand. Chapman has been out since June 8 due to a right hand sprain, and he seems to be on track to return prior to the All-Star break.

  • Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Getting breather Monday

    Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Arizona.

    Yastrzemski will break a streak of 13 consecutive starts Monday, ceding his spot in right field to Daniel Johnson. In his last 18 games, Yastrzemski is slashing .290/.375/.452 with a pair of home runs.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Taking seat Monday

    Flores isn't part of the starting nine for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Flores will yield to Dominic Smith at first base for the second time in three games Monday. Flores has just two hits in his last 20 at-bats, but he owns a 4:3 BB:K during that stretch.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Placed on 10-day IL

    Schmitt (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to June 27, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Schmitt will officially head to the IL after missing the team's last four games with a bone bruise in his left wrist. The 26-year-old will now be sidelined for at least one more week before he'd be eligible to return to action July 7. In the meantime, Tyler Fitzgerald was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday to replace Schmitt on the major-league roster.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Officially called up

    Fitzgerald was called up from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Monday's series opener with the Diamondbacks, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Fitzgerald will officially return to the major-league roster after being sent down June 23. The 27-year-old will look to improve upon the .230/.289/.320 slash line he posted over 178 at-bats in 57 games with the Giants so far this season. Fitzgerald will replace Casey Schmitt (wrist) with the big-league club after Schmitt was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

  • Corbin Carroll RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Starting to swing

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Carroll (wrist) will begin taking dry swings Tuesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

    Carroll is recovering from a chip fracture in his left wrist but is progressing well and will swing for the first time since being placed on the injured list last Tuesday. The outfielder won't be hitting baseballs Tuesday, but it's still a notable step in his recovery program. Carroll is aiming to return to action before the All-Star break, but the ultimate decision will be left up to the Diamondbacks.

  • Jack Winkler SS | HOU

    Marlins' Jack Winkler: Will be optioned to Triple-A

    The Marlins will option Winkler to Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's game against the Twins, Fish on First reports.

    A corresponding move will be announced prior to Tuesday's series opener. Winkler has been with the big club for a month but made just four starts, going 1-for-11 at the plate.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Joins team in Arizona

    Fitzgerald could be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Monday's contest in Arizona, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Fitzgerald has a locker at Chase Field and appears set to take the roster spot of the injured Casey Schmitt (wrist). The 27-year-old has slashed just .230/.289/.320 for the Giants this season and has gone 4-for-13 at the plate since being demoted to Sacramento. Fitzgerald could see reps at second base for the Giants upon his recall.

  • Brewers' Anthony Seigler: Call-up pending

    The Brewers are expected to call up Seigler from Triple-A Nashville, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reported Sunday.

    Seigler inked a minor league contract with the Brewers in November after spending seven seasons in the Yankees organization. The 26-year-old has slashed .277/.416/.465 with seven home runs and 20 stolen bases over 267 plate appearances with Nashville this season. He's split time between second base, third base and catcher this season. It'll be his MLB debut if he gets into a game.
