Kelly allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Monday.

Kelly got through three scoreless frames before Austin Wells tagged him for a two-run homer in the fourth. Those were the only runs Kelly surrendered, but he departed after five innings having thrown 96 pitches. The right-hander has tossed at least five frames in 28 straight starts after opening the campaign with a 3.2-inning outing against the Dodgers. Kelly is in line for one more start in the regular season, which is tentatively slated to come in Houston this weekend. It could be a huge game and series with both teams currently looking to get into the postseason.

Gonzalez was sent outright to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

Gonzalez failed to draw any interest after being designated for assignment Wednesday, so he'll head to Triple-A after clearing waivers.

Slater went 3-for-3 with a double and a hit-by-pitch in Monday's 2-1 win over the Padres.

Slater did a great job atop the lineup versus tough lefty Blake Snell, but the Giants' Nos. 2-4 hitters went just 1-for-11 with a walk in the contest. While he's still in a short-side platoon role, Slater is hitting .294 (10-for-34) in September. The outfielder boasts a .271/.347/.398 slash line with five home runs, 20 RBI, 23 runs scored and two stolen bases over 202 plate appearances this year.

Webb (11-13) allowed a run on nine hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over nine innings, earning the complete-game win Monday over the Padres.

The Giants waited until the eighth inning to give their ace any run support, and he protected the lead himself in the ninth. Webb is no stranger to a lack of help, as he's won just three times in 11 outings since the start of August despite posting eight quality starts in that span. He's now at a 3.25 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 194:31 K:BB through 216 innings over a career-high 33 starts this season. The Giants are still on the outside looking in for a playoff spot, so it's unclear if Webb would pitch in the final series of the season versus the Dodgers if San Francisco is eliminated before his turn comes up again.

Snell allowed four hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

Snell was again sharp, firing his fifth scoreless outing of six or more innings in his last six starts. He ended up with a second straight no-decision after the Giants got to Robert Suarez in the eighth inning. Snell lowered his ERA to 2.25 with a 1.19 WHIP and 234:99 K:BB through 180 innings over 32 starts this season. He's tentatively lined up for a road start versus the White Sox this weekend, but the Padres may not push their ace for one more outing since their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread after Monday's loss.

De Jesus was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Isaac Azout of SBNation.com reports.

Hjelle was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Hjelle was added to the active roster to replace Luke Jackson, who was placed on the paternity list prior to Monday's game against San Diego. Hjelle has appeared in one contest for the Giants in September, allowing two hits and striking out one across 1.1 scoreless frames.

Jackson was placed on the paternity list prior to Monday's game against the Padres.

Conforto isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against San Diego, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Conforto will take a seat Monday evening with the Giants slated to face off against lefty Blake Snell. Heliot Ramos gets the nod in right field and is set to bat eighth in Conforto's stead.
