Chapman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Chapman has struggled a bit at the plate lately, going just 3-for-23 (.130) and a 6:6 BB:K in that span. The third baseman was able to log his fourth stolen base of the season in Saturday's contest. He's batting a modest .221 with an .804 OPS, five home runs, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and four doubles over 28 games. Chapman's 20.8 percent walk rate is more than double his 10.0 percent mark from last season -- while this may be a bit of a small-sample skew, his early success drawing free passes has helped offset a small drop from last year's .247 batting average.

Giants' Robbie Ray: Seven strong innings Saturday
Rotowire
Ray allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Saturday.
Both runs allowed came on sacrifice flies by Jake Burger over the first three innings. Ray was able to have his longest start of the year thanks to an efficient performance, which saw him throw 69 of 97 pitches for strikes. The one walk matched his season low, while the eight strikeouts equaled his season high. He's taken three straight no-decisions but still doesn't have a loss through six starts (3-0) in 2025. Ray is at a 3.73 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB over 31.1 innings. He'll look to build on this strong outing in his next start, which is projected to be at home versus the Rockies.

Rodriguez owns a 0.00 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 16:0 K:BB across 11.2 innings.

Giants' Justin Verlander: Still winless despite quality start
Rotowire
Verlander (0-2) took the loss Friday as the Giants were downed 2-0 by the Rangers, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.
The 42-year-old right-hander delivered his second straight quality start on 89 pitches (65 strikes), but San Francisco's bats couldn't get going against Nathan Eovaldi and the Texas bullpen. Verlander appears to be turning things around, but on the season he still carries a 4.99 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB through 30.2 innings. He'll be in an excellent spot to collect his first win as a Giant in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rockies.
Rogers (2-0) earned the win during Thursday's 6-5 victory over Milwaukee, allowing a hit and striking out three in a scoreless inning.
Rogers entered the game in the eighth frame, striking out the first two batters he faced before giving up a single to Garrett Mitchell. However, Rogers kept his composure and struck out the final batter before San Francisco's offense scored two runs. The veteran reliever was efficient in the win, throwing 13 of his 16 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has been impressive over 14 appearances, recording a 0.68 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and a 13:2 K:BB with seven holds across 13.1 innings.

Roupp has given up four earned runs in two of his last three outings, and he has a 4.91 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings for the campaign.

Doval is up to five saves on the season, three of which have come over his last three outings, and he's tied with Ryan Walker for most saves on the Giants. Doval has a 2.25 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB over 12 innings this season.

Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Launches fourth homer of 2025
Rotowire
Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a solo homer and an additional RBI in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Brewers.
Yastrzemski tied things up at 2-2 in the third inning with a solo homer off Tobias Myers, and the outfielder drove in another run in the eighth frame on a fielder's choice groundout. It was Yastrzemski's sixth multi-hit game of the season, and he's started the year slashing .282/.414/.535 with two stolen bases, 12 runs scored, four home runs and 13 RBI over 87 plate appearances. He's also drawn 15 walks, which is 10th-best in the National League.
Manager Bob Melvin said Walker would get the save chance for the Giants on Friday, if the situation arose, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Camilo Doval has earned each of the Giants' last three saves, all of which have come since Monday. After Thursday's game, Melvin said that the Giants wanted to give Walker the day off -- he pitched Wednesday and allowed two earned runs while recording just one out -- and gave him a tepid vote of confidence. After allowing only one earned run across his first eight innings, Walked has surrendered six earned runs across only 0.2 innings in his last two outings combined.
