GAME LOG
Patrick Bailey - Getting breather Wednesday Bailey is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Rays.
Impact It's a day game after a night game, so Bailey will get an opportunity to rest. Blake Sabol will do the catching for opener Ryan Walker and a slew of relievers.

Mitch Haniger - Starting rehab next week Haniger (forearm) is on track to begin a rehab assignment next week, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Impact Haniger is headed to the Giants' spring training complex in Arizona to continue ramping up his activities and will soon test himself in a game setting. The veteran outfielder has missed more than two months after requiring surgery to repair a fractured right forearm, so he will need a good number of at-bats during his rehab assignment to knock the rust off before being activated from the 60-day injured list.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ross Stripling - Likely to follow behind opener Stripling is expected to serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Ryan Walker in Wednesday's game against the Rays, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The Giants have been relying on just two full-time starters (Logan Webb and Alex Cobb) of late, but Stripling still appears to be a de facto member of the rotation. Stripling's most recent appearance came out of the bullpen Friday, when he tossed five innings and gave up two runs en route to taking a loss against Texas. Assuming he's called upon to work behind Walker, Stripling will be the Giants pitcher most likely to factor into the decision Wednesday.

Giants vs. Rays Prediction, Odds, Picks - August 16

Preview the August 16 matchup between the San Francisco Giants and Tampa Bay Rays with odds over/under, game spread, betting lines and more.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • Data Skrive
Michael Conforto - Continues warming trend Conforto went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Rays.
Impact This was Conforto's fourth straight multi-hit game, and he's supplied an extra-base hit in three of them. The outfielder's surge has him batting .325 in August compared to .251 for the season. Overall, he's at a .758 OPS with 15 home runs, 55 RBI, 52 runs scored, four stolen bases and 12 doubles through 104 contests. As long as his bat is hot, he should maintain a spot in the starting lineup -- he's most often been in right field lately.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Walker - Opening Wednesday Walker will serve as the Giants' opener for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Walker turned in a good performance during his last time out as San Francisco's opener Monday, throwing two scoreless innings and striking out four batters. The 27-year-old righty has been extremely effective with a 2.28 ERA through 43.1 innings this season, but he'll likely only remain in the game for the first two or three frames.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Thairo Estrada - Stays warm with homer Estrada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Rays.
Impact Estrada's sixth-inning blast off Zack Littell opened the scoring. Since he returned from a hand injury Aug. 5, Estrada has gone 12-for-42 (.286) with four extra-base hits and six RBI across 10 contests. He's reclaimed a starting role at second base, though he hit ninth Tuesday, just the second time he's been at the bottom of the order. For the year, he's at a solid .274/.326/.434 slash line with 10 long balls, 37 RBI, 48 runs scored and 18 stolen bases through 80 games.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wilmer Flores - Two-run homer in return Flores went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Rays.
Impact Flores was out Monday with an ear infection, but it turned out to be a short absence for the infielder. He'd cooled off a bit prior to sitting out a game, going 1-for-12 across his last four contests, though he's still been one of the Giants' better hitters in recent weeks. Flores is up to a .300/.356/.542 slash line with 16 homers, 41 RBI, 39 runs scored and 19 doubles through 88 games this season. If he continues to hold down a starting role, he could make a push for his first 20-homer season.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Manaea - Snares win Tuesday Manaea (4-3) allowed a hit and two walks while striking out five over 3.1 shutout innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Rays.
Impact Manaea ultimately served as a piggyback to Jakob Junis, who started and pitched four scoreless innings. With just one run allowed over his last 15 innings (six appearances), Manaea is enjoying one of his best stretches of the season. He's trimmed his ERA to 4.89 with a 1.26 WHIP and 99:31 K:BB through 81 innings over 29 outings (six starts). The Giants continue to have rather fluid roles for many pitchers, including Manaea, who is unlikely to be available again until Sunday at the earliest.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jakob Junis - Pitches well Tuesday Junis allowed two hits and a walk while striking out seven over four shutout innings Tuesday versus the Rays. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Junis threw 62 pitches (43 strikes) in a sharp outing, his fourth scoreless appearance in his last five trips to the mound. The right-hander continues to fill a swingman role, something that's suited the Giants well with a number of their pitchers this season. Junis is at a 4.10 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 81:18 K:BB through 68 innings over 32 appearances (two starts). Junis has past experience as a starter, but this was just the second time he's gone four innings all season, so he has a better chance of picking up wins if he's the one pitching behind an opener.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • Associated Press
Wade Meckler - Batting second again Tuesday Meckler is again starting in center field and batting second Tuesday against the Rays.
Impact Meckler went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in his major-league debut Monday versus Tampa Bay, but the Giants clearly believe he can be an impactful offensive presence at baseball's highest level just 14 months after selecting him in the eighth round of the 2022 MLB Draft. Prior to his sudden call-up, the 23-year-old had posted a stellar .379/.463/.522 batting line in 69 games this summer between High-A Eugene, Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento.
AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
J.D. Davis - Sitting again Tuesday Davis remains out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.
Impact Davis also started Monday's series opener on the bench, but he came on as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and finished the game at first base. There wouldn't seem to be anything wrong with him physically. LaMonte Wade will cover first base Tuesday and Wilmer Flores (ear) is back in action at third.
AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wilmer Flores - Back in lineup Tuesday Flores (ear) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus Tampa Bay.
Impact After being scratched from Monday's series opener due to an ear infection, Flores will start at third base and bat third Tuesday against the Rays and right-hander Zack Littell. J.D. Davis is on the bench for the host Giants.

Giants broadcaster becomes team batboy as fantasy football punishment
Ryan Walker - Sharp as opener once again Walker struck out four over two scoreless frames while serving as the Giants' opening pitcher in Monday's 10-2 loss to the Rays. He worked around two hits and one walk in the 39-pi...
Impact Walker did his part to the keep the Rays offense at bay, but primary pitcher Tristan Beck (five runs allowed over three innings) was unable to continue the trend once he took over in the top of the third. Expect manager Gabe Kapler to continue making frequent use of Walker as an opener while the Giants have only two locked-in traditional starters at the moment in Logan Webb and Alex Cobb. In nine outings as an opener this season, Walker has produced a 2.40 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25.0 K-BB% in 15 innings.
AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Thairo Estrada - Third straight multi-hit game Estrada went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 10-2 loss to the Rays.
Impact Estrada accounted for the Giants' only run-producing plays of the night, driving in Joc Pederson on a base hit in the fifth inning before doubling home Michael Conforto in the eighth. The 27-year-old has now strung together three straight multi-hit games after having gone 0-for-12 with five strikeouts in the preceding three contests.
