Hunt was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Hunt will head back to El Paso after Freddy Fermin was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Hunt appeared in only two games following his call-up, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, and he'll now wait for his next chance to join the big-league club.

Flaherty (ankle) tossed 5.2 innings in a rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Erie, giving up two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.

Flaherty thew 83 pitches (58 strikes) in the rehab outing, which may be the only appearance he makes in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list. The right-hander is eligible to come off the IL on Sunday, and he could be activated that day to start the Tigers' series finale versus the Astros in Detroit.

Holliday (groin) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Angels, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Holliday will remain on the bench for a third straight contest as he nurses groin tightness. Jeremiah Jackson will once again start at second base, and he'll bat ninth Tuesday night.

Alexander (knee) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Angels, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Alexander was forced to exit Monday's contest against the Angels early with a right knee contusion, and he will now miss at least one additional game as a result. Coby Mayo will draw the start at third base, batting fifth versus Los Angeles.

Winn (elbow) began a throwing program Monday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Monday marked Winn's first time doing any sort of throwing since he landed on the injured list June 14 with a strained right elbow. He'll presumably have to get through several bullpen sessions and rounds of live BP before the Giants begin to think about activating him, but he doesn't appear to be in line for an extended stay on the IL.

Clarke (hamstring) has started to play catch and has also begun a swinging progression, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Clarke originally landed on the injured list in April due to a bone bruise in his foot, but he strained his left hamstring while playing in a rehab game in late May. He's still expected to remain sidelined through the All-Star break, though his return to activity is an encouraging sign of progress in his recovery. That said, Henry Bolte has filled in admirably as Clarke's replacement in center field, so the latter may not have much of an impact on the big club once he's activated.

Schwarber was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington due to lower-back tightness, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Schwarber's back will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest, and it remains unknown whether he'll have to miss additional games as well. Edmundo Sosa will fill in as the Phillies' designated hitter and bat eighth.
