Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

Rhys Hoskins will get the nod at first base while Bauers sits for the second game in a row Friday, opening up the DH spot for Christian Yelich while Jackson Chourio starts in left field.

The Dodgers will call up Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Sunday's game versus the Brewers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Wrobleski was promoted to Triple-A in mid-June after posting a 3.06 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 67.2 innings with Double-A Tulsa. He's given up five earned runs in 10.1 frames since reporting to Oklahoma City, and he's now slated to make his MLB debut in a spot start Sunday in order to give the rest of Los Angeles' rotation an extra day of rest. The 23-year-old southpaw will be matched up against a Brewers offense that ranks seventh in the majors in runs scored (422) and 10th in OPS (.732).

Campusano (thumb) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Campusano has been on the injured list since June 22 due to a left thumb injury and has played in four rehab games with Single-A Lake Elsinore, going 2-for-15 with a homer and four RBI. The 25-year-old backstop said he will resume catching for the Padres on Sunday, per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, at which point he could take over for Kyle Higashioka as the Friars' primary backstop. Campusano has slashed .234/.282/.371 across 220 plate appearances this season.

Murphy (knee) will catch a live bullpen session Saturday in San Francisco, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Murphy will likely be joined by right-hander Keaton Winn (elbow) for Saturday's session. Murphy was transferred to the 60-day injured list May 15 due to a sprained left knee, and it took a month before the 33-year-old catcher could resume baseball activities. Saturday's session is another step in Murphy's rehab program, and he could return to the Giants before the All-Star break barring any setbacks. He appeared in 13 games prior to his injury, going 4-for-34 with one home run and two RBI.

Winn (elbow) is scheduled to throw a live bullpen session Saturday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Winn landed on the injured list June 22 due to a nerve issue in his right elbow. Saturday's bullpen is a positive step for the 26-year-old righty, but his rehab program will likely keep him out of major-league action until after the All-Star break. Winn has a 3-8 record over 12 starts with a 7.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 48:20 K:BB across 55.1 innings this season.

Schwarber (groin) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Schwarber has been working through drills at 90 percent intensity, per Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia, and the 31-year-old slugger will run the bases Saturday in the last step in his rehab program before he rejoins the team. Schwarber is slashing .250/.373/447 with 17 home runs, 49 RBI and a .820 OPS over 367 plate appearances this season.

Matos is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

Matos was initially listed as the Giants' starting right fielder but will be replaced by Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) in a revised version of the lineup. It's unclear if Matos is dealing with an injury, or if he was just the odd man out with Yastrzemski being cleared to play.

Yastrzemski (elbow) is batting seventh and playing right field Friday against Cleveland.

Yastrzemski was initially left out of the Giants lineup Friday, but a revised version of the starting nine has Yastrzemski in right field. The 33-year-old exited Thursday's game against Atlanta after being hit by a pitch, but he won't have to miss any time due to the injury.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 5-1 win over the Angels on Friday.

Suzuki got the scoring started Friday with a two-run home run off Griffin Canning in the first inning. The 29-year-old has now homered four times over his past 10 games with eight RBI and eight runs scored. He has been a solid contributor across the board in 2024, hitting .262 with 12 home runs, 36 RBI, 36 runs scored and eight steals over 275 plate appearances.

Steele (1-3) earned the win against the Angels on Friday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over nine innings.

Steele needed just 95 pitches to toss his first career complete game. The only blemish was an RBI single by Taylor Ward in the fifth, but the lefty responded by retiring 13 consecutive batters to seal his much overdue first win of the year. The 29-year-old has logged six straight quality starts and owns a 2.95 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 77:18 K:BB over 79.1 innings this season. He lines up for a road matchup with the Orioles next week.
