Devers went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Blue Jays.
Devers singled in the third inning and added a double in the sixth, snapping a hitless streak that spanned the Giants' previous five games. The 28-year-old has now tallied two multi-hit performances this month and has recorded at least one hit in eight of his 13 outings. In July, he's slashing .233/.364/.326 with five RBI, four runs scored, four doubles and a 9:14 BB:K across 55 plate appearances.

Giants' Jerar Encarnacion: Kicks off Triple-A rehab
Rotowire
Encarnacion (oblique) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, going 1-for-2 with a walk in a 5-2 loss to Oklahoma City.
Encarnacion was placed on the 10-day injured list June 17 due to a left oblique strain. In his first rehab game with Sacramento, the 27-year-old recorded a single in the first inning and drew a walk in the fourth. He played seven innings before being replaced. Encarnacion appears to be nearing a return to big-league action after spending time in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and now moving up to Sacramento. He has appeared in just eight games with the Giants this season, slashing .136/.136/.182 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in 22 plate appearances.
Verlander (0-8) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks over 2.2 innings as the Giants fell 4-0 to the Blue Jays. He failed to strike out a batter.
All the damage off Verlander came in the second inning as Toronto batted around, but the 42-year-old righty couldn't keep traffic off the basepaths in his other two frames either. It's the first time he's recorded zero strikeouts in a start since July 2, 2017, and his 16-start winless streak to begin a season has set a new Giants franchise record. It's increasingly looking like 2025 will be the end of the road for the future Hall of Famer, but Verlander will keep looking for career win No. 263 when he takes the mound next week in Atlanta.
Miller (elbow) will begin a throwing program Saturday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Miller was placed on the 15-day injured list July 5 and was projected to miss five weeks. The 27-year-old reliever will rehab at the Giants' complex in Arizona. If he abides by the five-week timeline, he'll likely be back in mid-August.

Giants' Christian Koss: Rehab stint coming soon
Rotowire
Koss (hamstring) is expected to begin his minor-league rehab assignment next week, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Koss resumed baseball activities shortly before the All-Star break and is approaching a minor-league rehab stint. The infielder has been on the shelf since July 1 due to a strained right hamstring. He should be activated in late July or early August.

Giants' Matt Gage: Call-up official
Rotowire
The Giants selected Gage's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday
Gage will take Scott Alexander's spot on the 40- and 26-man rosters ahead of the series opener against Toronto on Friday. The 32-year-old latched on with the Giants on July 3 after starting the 2025 season with Detroit. He hasn't allowed a run in 5.1 innings with Sacramento this season and tallied a 1.67 ERA in 32.1 innings with the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate in Toledo.

Giants' Matt Gage: To join active roster
Rotowire
Gage is expected to have his contract selected by the Giants on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Gage inked a minor-league contract with San Francisco on July 3 after being designated for assignment by the Tigers. The 32-year-old pitched six scoreless innings for Detroit this season and hasn't allowed a run in 5.1 innings with Triple-A Sacramento.
Eldridge (hamstring) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday and has gone 2-for-6 with a walk, an RBI and a run in his first two contests.
Eldridge started at first base in both contests and could be ready to return from Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list when the affiliate opens up its post-All-Star-break schedule Friday. While the 20-year-old profiles as the Giants' first baseman of the future, he may not be in line for much more than a September call-up in 2025. Between stops at Double-A Richmond and at Sacramento prior to his rehab assignment, Eldridge slashed .263/.329/.484 with 10 home runs over 50 games.

Giants' Lorenzo Meola: Lands with Giants
Rotowire
The Giants have selected Meola with the 116th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Meola has a terrific glove and took at step forward at the plate in his final year at Stetson, slashing .324/.402/.532 with 11 homers and 10 steals. While Meola is a safe bet to remain at shortstop, his offensive and fantasy ceiling is fairly limited and he will not be helped by having Oracle Park as his future home.

Giants' Spencer Bivens: Picks up loss Sunday
Rotowire
Bivens took the loss in Sunday's 5-2 extra-innings defeat to the Dodgers, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and one intentional walk while striking out one over one inning.
Tasked with protecting a tie game in the 11th inning, Bivens retired the first two batters he faced before surrendering three consecutive singles, allowing the Dodgers to take a commanding lead. The right-hander has been charged with five runs (four earned) in his last two outings. He now owns a 3.72 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 37:14 K:BB across 46 innings in 31 appearances this season.

Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Doubles in defeat
Rotowire
Lee went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers.
Lee lined a double to right field in the seventh inning, marking his first two-bagger since July 2. The 26-year-old struggled in June but has been productive over 10 appearances in July. During that span, Lee has posted a .324/.368/.486 slash line with six RBI, three runs scored, two triples and two doubles across 41 plate appearances.

Giants' Trevor Cohen: Popped by Giants
Rotowire
The Giants have selected Cohen with the 85th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Cohen wasn't expected to be drafted this early, as he only managed two combined home runs his first two years playing regularly for Rutgers. He broke out as a junior, slashing .387/.460/.523 with 19 steals and twice as many walks as strikeouts. However, he only hit two home runs in 57 games this spring, so power probably won't be a big part of his game.

Giants' Luis Matos: Forces extras with homer
Rotowire
Matos went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-2 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers.
The Giants struggled to get any offense going until Matos delivered a game-tying homer in the ninth inning off Tanner Scott. The outfielder has gone 4-for-21 (.190) over seven games since returning to the big-league roster July 1 after a month-long stay with Triple-A Sacramento. Matos has struggled to a .172/.214/.387 slash line with five homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases over 98 plate appearances at the big-league level. He will likely continue to serve in a short-side platoon role while in the majors, most often spelling Mike Yastrzemski in right field when the Giants face a southpaw.

Giants' Robbie Ray: Quality start in pitching duel
Rotowire
Ray allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Sunday.
Ray was close to taking a hard-luck loss, but Luis Matos' game-tying homer in the ninth inning spared him. Ray was strong, only allowing an RBI double to Freddie Freeman and a solo home run to Miguel Rojas in terms of damage, but the southpaw wasn't quite as sharp as Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who pitched seven scoreless frames. Since the start of June, Ray has allowed just 19 runs (16 earned) over 48.2 innings, good for a 2.96 ERA. That's a little worse than his overall mark this year -- he's at a 2.65 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 128:44 K:BB through 119 innings over 20 starts. Ray was named an All-Star this year but won't pitch in Tuesday's game since he started Sunday.
The Giants have selected Kilen with the 13th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Kilen has two summers on the Cape with OPS south of .750 and managed nine home runs in 100 games his first two years at Louisville. However, he transferred to Tennessee for his junior year and slashed .357/.441/.671 with 15 home runs and a 27:30 K:BB in 53 games this spring to push his name into the Day One mix. His only standout tool has long been his ability to make contact, as his defense is stretched at shortstop and he projects to just be OK at second base. He also lacks above-average speed. This spring's power explosion changes Kilen's projection, as he could now conceivably provide enough offensive impact to make up for his shortcomings.
