Giants' Luis Matos: Not starting Friday's game
Matos is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in St. Louis.
Matos started the last two games and 12 of the last 13 games, but he will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. Drew Gilbert will draw the start in right field and bat eighth for the Giants in the series opener.

Giants' Carson Seymour: Receiving another start
Seymour is slated to start Friday's game against the Cardinals in St. Louis.
He'll be making his second straight turn through the rotation, despite underwhelming in his first MLB start this past Saturday, when he took a loss to the Orioles after giving up four earned runs on five hits and two walks over three innings. Altogether, Seymour holds a 4.74 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB across 24.2 frames in the big leagues. Keeping the ball in the yard has proven to be a challenge for the righty, who has already yielded eight home runs.

Giants' Matt Chapman: Swats two homers in victory
Chapman went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs, a double, a walk, two total runs and four total RBI in a 10-8 win against the Rockies on Wednesday.
Chapman was technically suspended for one game by MLB on Wednesday, but he was able to play since he chose to appeal the suspension. That turned out to benefit the Giants greatly, as Chapman recorded three extra-base hits, including two homers. Chapman's long balls Wednesday pushed him to 20 on the season, a mark he's now reached in four of his past five campaigns.

Giants' Ryan Walker: Secures 14th save
Walker earned a save against the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing one hit while striking out one batter over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.
It didn't seem like Walker would be needed with the Giants beginning the bottom of the ninth inning with a 10-5 lead, but he was called upon to put out a fire after Colorado loaded the bases with one out. Walker gave up a sacrifice fly followed by a two-run double, but none of those runs were charged to his ledger. Since he entered with the tying run on deck, Walker was able to get credit for a save by finishing out the contest despite allowing his team's lead to shrink. He's now completed 10 straight scoreless appearances, posting a 0.86 WHIP and 12:0 K:BB over 9.1 frames during that span.

Giants' Robbie Ray: Labors despite eight punchouts
Ray allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Wednesday.
Ray was staked to a 4-0 lead through three frames, but he gave up the advantage when the Rockies scored five times across the fourth and fifth innings. The lefty did manage an impressive 19 whiffs and eight punchouts, but he's now allowed 11 runs (10 earned) over nine innings across his past two games to nudge his season ERA up to 3.31. Ray will look to post a better line in his next start, which lines up to come against Arizona early next week.

Giants' Matt Chapman: Appealing one-game suspension
Chapman received a one-game suspension from Major League Baseball on Wednesday for pushing Kyle Freeland during Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Chapman is appealing the suspension.
The third baseman was ejected from Tuesday's contest for his role in the benches-clearing brawl that took place in the first inning, and he'll now also receive a suspension on top of that. Chapman will be available to play until a verdict is reached on his appeal.

Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Sitting Wednesday
Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Lee will be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's game while the hot-hitting Drew Gilbert gets the nod in center field in his stead. Lee has logged at least one hit in seven of his last eight games, going 9-for-31 (.290 average) with an RBI over that span.

Giants' Patrick Bailey: Goes yard in win
Bailey went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.
Bailey singled in the second inning and cracked a two-run shot to right field in the eighth. With that, the defensive stalwart recorded his first homer since July 8, and he also tallied his fifth multi-hit effort over 26 games since Aug. 1. Over 113 appearances this season, he's slashing .210/.270/.297 with 41 RBI, 35 runs scored, three home runs and a stolen base across 382 plate appearances.

Giants' Casey Schmitt: Cracks 10th home run in win
Schmitt (elbow) went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.
The 26-year-old infielder wasn't in the starting lineup Tuesday after being hit by a pitch Monday and sustaining an elbow injury, though his X-rays came back negative. However, after Matt Chapman and Willy Adames were ejected following a scuffle in the first inning, Schmitt stepped in at second base. He lined a solo shot to left-center field in the fifth inning and added a single in the ninth. With that, he recorded his fifth multi-hit performance over 26 games since Aug. 1, slashing .240/.305/.458 with 15 RBI, 11 runs scored, six doubles and five long balls across 105 plate appearances during that span.

Giants' Rafael Devers: Launches 30th home run in victory
Devers went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.
Devers launched his 30th homer to right field in the first inning, giving the Giants a 2-0 lead. The 28-year-old has now reached the 30-homer mark four times in his career, including twice in the last three seasons. He's slashing .263/.381/.493 with 96 RBI, 84 runs scored and a stolen base across 627 plate appearances in 140 games between San Francisco and Boston this season.

Giants' Wilmer Flores: Blasts two-run shot Tuesday
Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 7-4 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.
The homer was Flores' 15th of the year, and he now has one hit in four of his past five outings. The veteran slugger had 46 RBI through May 31, but he's cooled down dramatically ever since. Over his last 201 plate appearances (55 games), Flores is slashing a frigid .230/.303/.343 with five homers, five doubles and 20 RBI since the start of June.

Giants' Ryan Walker: Locks down 13th save
Walker picked up the save Tuesday against the Rockies, striking out one in a clean ninth inning.
Walker secured his 13th save of the season, and he's quickly taken over as the Giants' top closer following the season-ending injury to Randy Rodriguez (elbow). Walker has successfully converted each of his last three save opportunities, and he's conceded just one earned run over his last 10.2 innings since the start of August. The right-hander also has an 11:1 K:BB during that stretch, and he should be rostered in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Giants' Logan Webb: Fans seven in 13th win
Webb (13-9) earned the win Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.
Even though Webb's streak of starts of at least six innings was stopped at six, he still turned in a decent outing at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The All-Star right-hander has fired fewer than five frames just twice all year, and he's now fanned at least five on 24 occasions among his 29 outings. Webb owns a steady 3.17 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 194:39 K:BB across 178.2 innings, and he's next lined up to take the hill early next week at home against the division-rival Diamondbacks.
