Overview

  • Infielder Casey Schmitt will take over third base duties following Chapman’s offensive decline since returning from his initial hand injury.
  • Right-hander Landen Roupp was reinstated from the 15-day IL to start Friday’s game under a limited pitch-count plan after recovering from elbow inflammation.
  • The Giants recalled reliever Keaton Winn from Triple-A Sacramento to fill the roster spot opened by Ryan Walker’s paternity leave.
  • Left-handed reliever Erik Miller remains on rehab assignment from a left-elbow sprain with a potential activation pending evaluation before the San Diego series.
