Schmitt went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a triple during a 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader. He was also hit by a pitch.

After going 2-for-4 with an RBI in the matinee, Schmitt recorded another multi-hit effort in the nightcap. He singled in the third inning, tripled in the fifth and was hit by a pitch in the ninth, scoring in the latter two frames. The 27-year-old has been one of the Giants' most consistent hitters this season and is now slashing .301/.353/.538 with 14 RBI, 12 runs scored, four long balls and a stolen base across 102 plate appearances.

Gilbert went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored during a 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

After striking out in his lone plate appearance during the matinee, Gilbert started in center field in the nightcap and racked up a season-high three hits, including a double in the sixth inning that led to him scoring. The 25-year-old outfielder has been productive for San Francisco while filling in for Harrison Bader (hamstring). Through 14 outings this season, Gilbert is slashing .279/.311/.442 with five RBI, five runs scored and two home runs in 46 plate appearances.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Athletics.

Diaz cracked his first homer of the season to the opposite field in the eighth inning to cut into the Royals' deficit, though they were unable to complete a comeback. The 35-year-old has seen limited playing time since being called up April 19 to serve as the team's third catcher but has produced when called upon, going 4-for-11 (.364) with a homer, two doubles, three RBI, two runs and a walk across four games.

Marte went 3-for-4 with an RBI and was caught stealing in Thursday's 6-3 loss against the Athletics.

With left-hander Jeffrey Springs (hip) starting for the Athletics, Marte was inserted into Thursday's lineup and came through with his first multi-hit effort of the season. The veteran opened the scoring in the first inning with an opposite-field single to plate Maikel Garcia. Marte has handled a limited role as a short-side platoon option for the Royals but has produced when called upon, as evidenced by a .303 batting average. The 37-year-old has yet to draw a walk or show much power across 35 plate appearances, however.

Florentino (ankle) is being promoted to High-A Greensboro, Bucco Bantr reports.

Florentino had technically been on a rehab assignment at Single-A, despite the fact he has never played above that level. The 19-year-old lefty hitter slashed .321/.500/.750 with three home runs, 11 walks and seven strikeouts in nine games at Single-A after returning from an ankle injury.

Langeliers went 3-for-4 with three doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Royals.

It was the first three-double performance of Langeliers' career. The backstop has been locked in at the plate of late, going 11-for-23 (.478) with five doubles across the past five games. Overall in 2026, the 28-year-old has thrived, slashing .328/.382/.592 with eight homers, nine doubles, 15 RBI and 21 runs across 30 contests.

Gurriel is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Cubs.

Gurriel has started to heat up with multiple hits in three of his last four games, but he'll get some rest as the Diamondbacks open a series at Wrigley Field. Jorge Barrosa will cover left field and bat ninth.

Marte is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

It's a rare day off for Marte, who had made 12 consecutive starts. Ildemaro Vargas will cover second base Friday, while Jose Fernandez will play first base and Adrian Del Castillo will slot in at designated hitter.

Swanson (glute) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

Swanson didn't start the Cubs' last game Wednesday due to a left glute cramp, but he's ready to go for Friday's series opener. The 32-year-old is hitting only .214 in his first 30 games this season, but the counting stats have been there with six home runs, 23 RBI, 23 runs and two stolen bases.

Barlow allowed no hits and a walk with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning in Thursday's win against the Royals.

The right-hander recorded the final out of the sixth inning and picked up two outs in the seventh before being lifted for Brady Basso. Barlow earned his sixth hold, as the Athletics bullpen combined for six innings of one-run ball in the victory following an early exit for Jeffrey Springs (hip). Barlow hasn't allowed a run across his past five appearances and has given up an earned run in just two of his 14 outings in 2026. Overall, the 33-year-old owns a 3.14 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with a 12:8 K:BB across 14.1 innings.
