Harrison did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings.

Harrison surrendered two runs in the second, with one coming on a solo home run from Ramon Laureano. Travis d'Arnaud would then get a hold of one in the third for another solo blast to put Atlanta up 3-1. Harrison worked through another two scoreless frames before his night was over after 89 pitches. Since returning from injury July 6, Harrison has made it to six innings just once in seven starts and has given up six home runs over his last three outings. For the year, the 23-year-old lefty owns a 4.14 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 103:36 K:BB in 111 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup against the White Sox to begin next week.

Estrada (wrist) went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a hit-by-pitch in his first rehab game with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Estrada has been shelved for nearly three weeks with a sprained left wrist but is almost ready to rejoin the Giants' active roster. Because he hasn't missed much time, Estrada would appear likely to be activated for the weekend series in Oakland which begins Saturday. Once he's back, Estrada should see the bulk of the reps at second base for San Francisco.

Fitzgerald went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

Fitzgerald's only hit of the night was a big one, as he took Charlie Morton deep to left-center field in the third to bring the Giants within a run. It was his fourth home run this month and his 13th of the year, all of which have come since July 9. His .972 OPS leads all rookies with at least 150 plate appearances this season. For the year, Fitzgerald is slashing .305/.363/.609 with 25 RBI, 36 runs, 12 steals and a 13:53 BB:K in 190 plate appearances.

Lopez (forearm) allowed three runs while striking out four over four innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Lopez threw 71 pitches in the outing and averaged 94.5 mph with his four-seamer, down a tick from his season average. It should be the only rehab start Lopez needs, with the righty likely to return to the Atlanta rotation either Sunday on the road against the Angels or Tuesday at home versus the Phillies. Lopez has been out since late July with right forearm inflammation.

Suarez pitched a scoreless ninth to pick up the save against the Pirates on Tuesday, allowing a hit and striking out a batter.

Suarez was called upon to close for the second straight day and got the job done, needing just nine pitches to get through the frame. He's now converted four consecutive save chances since his last blown save July 26 and Suarez is fourth in baseball with 27 saves this year after coming into this season with just one career save. For the year, Suarez owns a 1.68 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 47:9 K:BB in 48.1 innings.

King (10-6) got the win over the Pirates on Tuesday after allowing seven hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out 10 without issuing a walk.

King posted his fourth outing of the season with at least 10 strikeouts and his fourth of at least six innings with zero earned runs allowed. He struck out the side in the second and fourth innings and allowed the Pirates to put runners into scoring position only twice. Since May 1, King is second in the majors among all starting pitchers with a 3.6 fWAR and has a 1.91 ERA over his last seven starts. He has just two starts since May 4 with fewer than five strikeouts and has been a massive addition to the San Diego rotation after coming over in the Juan Soto trade. For the year, King owns a 3.19 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 161:47 K:BB in 135.1 innings. He lines up to face the Twins at home to begin next week.

Spiers is slated to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Emilio Pagan in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Spiers had started in each of his last eight appearances, but he'll shift to the bullpen for at least one turn through the rotation after he was lit up for eight earned runs over five innings in a loss to the Brewers his last time out Friday. Pagan isn't expected to work more than an inning before turning the game over to Spiers.

Peralta went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

Peralta took Luis Ortiz deep to lead off the fifth to extend the Padres' lead to 2-0. It was the only extra-base hit of the evening for the Padres. The home run was also his third this month after he had just two total coming into August. He's enjoying a productive month despite not getting everyday at-bats, slashing .367/.424/.767 with nine RBI and six runs scored across 33 plate appearances. For the year, Peralta is slashing .262/.323/.414 with five homers, 19 RBI, 20 runs, a steal and an 11:33 BB:K in 158 plate appearances.

Ortiz (5-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Padres, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings.

Tuesday marked Ortiz's first loss in eight starts this year and it was his first loss since May 8. The Padres tacked on an unearned run against him in the first due to a fielding error by Oneil Cruz. Ortiz went on to face one over the minimum through the next three innings before David Peralta led off the fifth with a solo home run to right center field. Ortiz has now given up one run or zero in four of his last seven starts and owns a 3.32 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 71:30 K:BB in 95 innings this season. Oritz lines up to face the Rangers on the road next week.

Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.

Reynolds' eighth-inning double was his first extra-base hit since Aug. 4. He's been one of the few consistent hitters in the Pittsburgh lineup over the course of the season and has been hitting exceptionally well over the last month. Since July 13, Reynolds is slashing .353/.433/.471 with two homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs. For the year, the 29-year-old All-Star is slashing .288/.355/.473 with 19 homers, 69 RBI, 54 runs, six steals and a 43:114 BB:K in 516 plate appearances.
