Devers went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Rockies.
Devers has hit a double in three straight games, and he ended a seven-game stretch without a homer when he went deep in the second inning. The infielder has reached the 25-homer mark for the sixth year in a row, and he's also logged at least 30 doubles in each of those campaigns after reaching that threshold Sunday. Devers is batting .246 with a .794 OPS, 69 RBI and 65 runs scored across 124 contests as he continues to be one of the Giants' more consistent bats.

Giants' Blade Tidwell: Walks five in no-decision
Rotowire
Tidwell allowed six runs on three hits and five walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Sunday.
Tidwell threw just 35 of 63 pitches for strikes in this short start. While he wasn't knocked around that much, the walks proved costly. He had allowed just three runs over 10.2 innings across his first two starts of the year, and it's a little discouraging this poor showing came at home. Tidwell has a 4.33 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across 27 innings over 11 outings (three starts) this year. He's tentatively lined up to make his next start at Boston.
Giants' Victor Bericoto: On bench for second straight
Rotowire
Bericoto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Bericoto will hit the bench for the second straight game while the Giants hand Turner Hill another start in left field. Though he appeared to be in good position to take on a full-time role after being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Bericoto has gone 2-for-12 with five strikeouts in three games following his return and looks like he'll have to settle for a timeshare in the corner outfield with Hill.

Giants' Marcelo Mayer: Drawing closer to Giants debut
Rotowire
Giants manager Tony Vitello said that while Mayer (forearm) isn't expected to come off the 10-day injured list for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, the infielder could be reinstated before the end of that three-game series, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Acquired from the Red Sox on Aug. 3, Mayer last played June 25 before being shut down due to a left forearm stress reaction. The 23-year-old looks to be closing in on his Giants debut, however, going 4-for-8 with a solo home run, a double and a walk since beginning a rehab stint with Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday. Mayer is expected to take over as the starting second baseman once he's healthy.

Giants' Willy Adames: Remaining out Sunday
Rotowire
Adames (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Adames will sit for a third consecutive game after he tweaked his back while attempting to turn a double play during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Astros. With Adames on the bench, the Giants will open up starts on the left side of the infield for Christian Koss and Buddy Kennedy.
Gilbert went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.
Gilbert set the tone from the leadoff spot, launching a solo shot in the third inning before adding a two-run single in the fourth. While it's a small sample, the 24-year-old has tallied three extra-base hits and driven in seven runs over his past five games. On the season, he's slashing .243/.330/.376 with six homers, 28 RBI, 34 runs scored and a stolen base across 293 plate appearances.

Giants' Logan Webb: Battling tightness
Rotowire
Webb was removed from Saturday's game against Colorado due to back/shoulder tightness, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Webb needed just 80 pitches to make it through six innings Saturday, giving up one run on four hits and zero walks while punching out seven batters. However, he began to feel tightness around his shoulder after getting struck by a comebacker in the fifth inning, so the Giants took him out of the game as a precaution. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start in Boston next week, but the team will likely monitor his injury over the next few days before confirming his availability.
Bericoto isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Bericoto will receive a day off after going 2-for-12 with an RBI and five strikeouts since his return from the injured list Tuesday. Turner Hill will pick up a start in left field and bat seventh.

Giants' Willy Adames: Out again Saturday
Rotowire
Adames (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Adames aggravated a back injury during Wednesday's game against Houston, and although the team still believes he'll avoid a trip to the injured list, the 30-year-old will now miss a second consecutive start. Christian Koss will move over to shortstop while Adames sits, opening up third base for Buddy Kennedy.

Giants' Jonah Cox: Triples in defeat
Rotowire
Cox went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies.
Cox was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday and stepped into the leadoff spot against Colorado. The 25-year-old outfielder hit a leadoff triple in the ninth inning before coming around to score the Giants' final run. He's now slashing .267/.267/.533 with six runs scored, four stolen bases, three RBI, two triples and a home run across 33 plate appearances this season.

Giants' Rafael Devers: Logs double in loss
Rotowire
Devers went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies.
After going 0-for-8 in his previous three games, Devers hit an RBI double in the ninth inning, driving in San Francisco's final run. The veteran infielder hasn't been very productive this month, batting .220 with five runs scored, four RBI and two home runs in 48 plate appearances. Overall, he's slashing .245/.320/.467 with 65 RBI, 62 runs scored and 24 long balls across 515 plate appearances this season.
Eldridge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies.
Eldridge's homer in the fourth inning briefly tied the game at 1-1. He has gone 4-for-19 with two homers and a 2:5 BB:K over his last five games. Eldridge's last multi-hit effort was Aug. 1 versus the Padres, but he continues to see steady playing time between first base and designated hitter. On the year, he's batting .246 with a .777 OPS, 13 homers, 30 RBI, 39 runs scored, 15 doubles and one stolen base over 79 contests.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Handed 12th loss
Rotowire
Roupp (7-12) allowed four runs on five hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Rockies.
Roupp threw just 57 of 91 pitches for strikes in this outing, which was his fourth straight loss. He's been competitive in just one of those games while allowing a total of 14 runs over his last 19.1 innings with a 15:15 K:BB in that span. Overall, Roupp is at a 4.31 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 128:60 K:BB through 129.1 innings over 24 starts. While his performance is fading, the Giants lack better options to fill in as part of the rotation, so expect Roupp to make his next projected start at Cleveland.
Adames (back) is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Rockies on Friday.
As expected, Adames will be on the bench for Friday's game while working through a back injury that he aggravated during Wednesday's loss to the Astros. An MRI on Friday revealed a low back strain, but a stint on the injured is unlikely for the 30-year-old shortstop, who is considered day-to-day, per Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. With Adames sidelined, Christian Koss will draw the start at shortstop while Buddy Kennedy mans the hot corner.
