Moves back into reserve role Koss is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Koss had served as the Giants' primary second baseman through the first two weeks of May, but his starting opportunities are likely to be scarcer moving forward after Tyler Fitzgerald and Casey Schmitt were both activated from the injured list within the past few days. Fitzgerald will get the nod at the keystone Wednesday while Koss hits the bench for the fifth time in the last six games.

Blasts grand slam in win Koss went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact The Giants fell behind early, but they never looked back after Koss put them ahead with a second-inning grand slam. The infielder has gone 6-for-17 (.353 average) over his last six games, adding six RBI in that span. Overall, he's batting .241 with one home run, seven RBI, six runs scored and no stolen bases over 59 plate appearances on the season. He had nine long balls over 88 minor-league games across three levels last season, so don't expect a lot of power out of Koss. With both Tyler Fitzgerald (rib) and Casey Schmitt (oblique) on rehab assignments, Koss's time as an mainstay in the middle infield for San Francisco could soon come to an end.

Getting steady playing time at 2B Koss will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Koss will occupy the keystone for the third time in four games and could get a look as the Giants' primary option at the position after Tyler Fitzgerald (rib) recently joined Casey Schmitt (oblique) on the injured list. After making the Giants' roster out of spring training, Koss had seen limited playing time through the end of April, logging just 26 plate appearances in total over the team's first 31 games. Along with Koss, Brett Wisely is also likely to be in the mix for playing time at second base while Fitzgerald and Schmitt are on the shelf.
