San Francisco Giants vs. New York Mets - News - July 01, 2023 | FOX Sports

Blake Sabol - Heads to bench Sunday Sabol is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact While moving between designated hitter, left field and catcher, Sabol had started in each of the Giants' last eight games while going 5-for-26 with a pair of doubles. The lefty-hitting rookie will hit the bench with a southpaw (David Peterson) on the bump for the Mets, but Sabol's multiple pathways to the lineup should continue to make him at least a semi-regular starter against right-handed pitching.

Impact Vogelbach is 2-for-23 over his past eight contests and will head to the bench Sunday despite the fact a righty (Ross Stripling) is pitching for San Francisco. Pete Alonso is resting his legs as the designated hitter while Mark Canha receives a start at first base.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Not in Sunday's lineup Wade (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old was held out of the lineup Saturday due to lower-back discomfort, and he'll sit again for the series finale. Lefty David Peterson is pitching for New York, so Wade may have been on the bench Sunday regardless of the injury. Wilmer Flores will receive another look at first base.

Michael Conforto - Absence continues Sunday Conforto (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's another expected absence for Conforto due to a mild left hamstring strain, as the Giants don't expect him back in the lineup until at least Monday. Austin Slater, Bryce Johnson and Luis Matos will start from left to right in the outfield Sunday.
