Giants' Wilmer Flores: RBI double in win
Rotowire
Flores went 1-for-1 with a RBI double in the 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Flores entered in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and immediately smacked a two-run double, which accounted for only his third extra-base hit of the new campaign. While the veteran has been on the short side of the platoon with LaMonte Wade at first base, the Giants have found a way to get Flores' bat in the lineup situationally throughout most of the season. The 32-year-old has yet to tally a home run in the 2024 campaign, but given his slugging percentage (.311) is woefully below his career norms, the power could be returning in short order.
Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with two RBI during Thursday's 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
Yastrzemski stepped into the batter's box in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and delivered a two-run single off Kyle Nelson. It was just his second game of 2024 with an RBI as the outfielder has crawled to a .135/.238/.135 slash line through 14 games. He seems to be turning the corner on his sluggish start, going 4-for-17 (.235) over his last six appearances.

Cobb (hip) had a clean MRI on his shoulder and will throw from flat ground Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Cobb has dealt with both elbow and shoulder pain while working his way back from hip surgery. However, he's now set to resume throwing for the first time since April 1.

Bailey went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.
Bailey's steal was his first of 2024, matching his total from 97 contests in 2023. As a catcher, speed is often not high on the list of priorities.

Rotowire
Hjelle made the fifth appearance of his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Sacramento, striking out two while allowing one hit over a scoreless inning.
Hjelle was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day due to a mild right elbow strain, but he appears to be bouncing back from the injury well based on how he's fared on his rehab assignment thus far. Between stops with Sacramento and Single-A San Jose, The right-hander has permitted two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven over 5.1 innings. Hjelle seems to be preparing for a relief role with the Giants once he returns from the IL, though if San Francisco elects to option him to Sacramento upon his activation, he could get stretched back out to start.
Doval retired all three batters he faced with one strikeout to earn the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.
Doval faced the heart of Miami's lineup but needed just 13 pitches to retire the side in order for his third save of the year.
