Arraez (ankle) remains out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Mets.

Arraez was scratched Tuesday after suffering a left ankle sprain while participating in pregame infield practice. It's a positive sign that he has yet to be placed on the 10-day injured list, and the MLB batting average leader (.354) can utilize Thursday's scheduled team off day to hopefully get himself healthy for the Marlins' upcoming three-game weekend set against the Brewers. Jon Berti will fill in at second base and hit eighth in Wednesday's series finale versus New York.

Gonzalez was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Wednesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for the official arrival of Matt Moore, who was claimed off waivers from the Guardians on Tuesday. Gonzalez, now twice DFA'd by Miami, has allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk over just 3.2 major-league innings this season.

Hill underwent surgery Wednesday to repair ligaments and clean up scar tissue in his left ring finger, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Hill's season is officially over, but the left-hander will begin a throwing program in 6-to-8 weeks and is expected to be ready to roll for spring training. The reliever's performance took a step back in 2023, as he held a 5.48 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 26:14 K:BB over 44.1 innings. It's possible the finger issue might have been at least partly to blame for his struggles.

Hjelle was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

Hjelle has had a rough 2023, posting an 8.59 ERA with the Giants and a 6.03 mark with Sacramento. He can give them some length out of the bullpen, though, which is needed.

Harrison was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

Harrison will rejoin the Giants' rotation this weekend against the Dodgers, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, with Alex Cobb (hip) and Keaton Winn (COVID-19) out of commission. The rookie left-hander was more miss than hit during his first stint in the majors but made some delivery tweaks during a recent bullpen session and apparently looked good. Harrison has to be considered an extremely risky stream against the Dodgers in fantasy, however.

Cobb was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left hip impingement.

Cobb has been dealing with a nagging hip issue throughout the second half and it flared up on him during Tuesday's start against the Diamondbacks. He is done for the remainder of the regular season, although the Giants have not ruled out the possibility that he could return for the playoffs, should they qualify. Kyle Harrison will absorb Cobb's rotation spot.

Haniger is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Haniger had started each of the last three contests and eight of the last nine, but he will begin this one on the bench. Luis Matos is getting the call in left field for the Giants.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Wednesday contest in San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Diaz has tailed off at the plate in the second half and has been given more days off down the stretch. He will begin this one on the bench while Austin Wynns does the catching for Chase Anderson.

Montero is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

It's the first day off this month for Montero, who is 3-for-17 with 11 strikeouts over his last four contests. Kris Bryant is handling first base Wednesday.

Campusano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The Padres are playing an afternoon game, so Campusano will get a breather after starting six straight. Brett Sullivan is doing the catching for Seth Lugo on Wednesday.
