The Giants recalled Whitcomb from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Claimed off waivers from the Astros earlier this month, Whitcomb will now get the chance to make his Giants debut. He'll draw the start at the hot corner and bat seventh Monday following his promotion.

The Giants recalled McCray from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McCray will make his return to the big leagues after being demoted to Triple-A just 10 days earlier. With Jung Hoo Lee is serving as the designated hitter Monday after Victor Bericoto (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list and Bryce Eldridge (personal) was placed on the bereavement list, McCray will start in right field and bat eighth in the series opener.

The Giants recalled Furman from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Furman is back up with the Giants after being demoted Aug. 14. He'll man second base and bat sixth during Monday's series opener after San Francisco made a flurry of roster moves, which included placing Willy Adames (elbow) on the injured list and Bryce Eldridge (personal) on the bereavement list.

Bericoto was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a bone bruise in his right knee, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bericoto suffered a knee injury during Sunday's matchup and was forced from the game, and the team has since determined that he'll require a trip to the injured list. Grant McCray, who was promoted Monday, and Jonah Cox could see more opportunities in the corner outfield spots with Bericoto out of commission.

Twins manager Derek Shelton said that Ryan (glute) will throw a one-inning live batting practice session Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Since landing on the injured list Aug. 7 due to a left glute strain, Ryan has completed a pair of bullpen sessions and will now take the next step forward in his recovery by facing hitters. The Twins will have a better sense of the right-hander's timeline for a return from the IL after Wednesday's throwing session, though Shelton indicated that Ryan will need to go on a rehab assignment prior to being activated.

The Giants placed Eldridge (personal) on the bereavement list Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

As expected, the Giants deactivated Eldridge after he left the team to attend his grandfather's funeral in Virginia. Eldridge is expected to be away from the Giants for their entire three-game series against the Reds before rejoining the team ahead of Thursday's series opener versus the Diamondbacks.

Adames was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left elbow sprain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Adames picked up the injury during Sunday's series finale against Boston, and it'll cost him at least the next 10 days. The Giants will presumably turn to Christian Koss and Osleivis Basabe at shortstop while Adames is on the mend. The club has classified Adames' injury as a moderate sprain, and he'll likely need longer than the 10-day minimum before being activated, per Rubin.

The Mariners said Monday that Donovan's concussion symptoms are starting to improve, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Donovan was placed on the 7-day injured list Sunday after he was struck by a ball in the batting cage over the weekend. He's eligible to be activated Saturday, though he'll have some steps to clear in the protocol before getting the green light to return to action for the Mariners.

Delgado was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Delgado was promoted to the big leagues Thursday and appeared in two games, going 0-for-4 with a run scored and a walk. However, he'll report to Triple-A following Monday's move, which opened up a spot for Nelson Velazquez.

Steele (elbow) is hoping to start a rehab assignment after throwing two more live bullpen sessions, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Steele has been gradually increasing the frequency and intensity of his throwing sessions since he was cleared to start playing catch earlier this month. He's scheduled for two more live batting practice sessions, after which he'll be re-evaluated before potentially sent out on a rehab appearance. Steele hasn't pitched since April 7, 2025 after undergoing UCL revision surgery on his left elbow one month later.
