Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo confirmed first baseman Christian Walker would travel with the club to San Francisco for their three-game series against the Giants starting on Tuesday. Walker has been on the injured list since June 30 with an oblique strain, and his return appears to be fast approaching. Before the game, Lovullo said Walker would not necessarily need a second rehab game after the veteran played five innings at Salt River Fields on Saturday. Walker told Arizona Sports on Monday he was hopeful to play in San Francisco.

Everyone knows that San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski comes from baseball royalty. The 34-year-old native of Andover, Mass., has put together a solid career in his own right. Recently, he hit his 12th home run of the season. It was a big milestone for him, as it was the 100th home run of his career.

Christian Walker appeared likely to return from the injured list on Tuesday against the Giants, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said.

Over the last few years, the San Francisco Giants have taken a swing on quite a few high-profile free agents. Looking ahead to the upcoming MLB offseason, there is a good chance that the Giants will take another big-time swing. Of course, that swing would come with their pursuit of superstar outfielder Juan Soto. Quite a few teams would love to get him, but there are only a handful who would have a legitimate chance to convince him to leave his current situation.

If the San Francisco Giants want to make a miraculous run in September and reach the playoffs, they can't afford many more losses like the one they endured on Sunday. After splitting the first two games of their series against the Miami Marlins, the Giants desperately needed to win Sunday's finale. Not only were they at home against one of the worst teams in baseball, but they also had their ace, Logan Webb, on the mound. Unfortunately, Webb let his teammates down, blowing an early lead in San Francisco's 7-5 loss.

Bryce Eldridge's insane first full season of pro ball is taking another step in the right direction.

Dusty Baker said he had to “play it cool” with his son, Darren, when he told the San Francisco Giants legend that he was preparing to be called up to the Major Leagues for the first time. Because Dusty Baker, now 75, retired and serving as a Giants special assistant, already knew.

It's been a very disappointing campaign for the San Francisco Giants, and that hasn't changed over the past few weeks. Seven games out in the National League Wild Card and 3-7 over their last 10 games, the season is about as good as over for the Giants. Unfortunately, injuries are a part of the game, and good teams typically find a way to overcome them. The worst part about their struggles is that two of their top players will hit the free agency market this offseason if they opt out of their contracts.

The California legislature passed a resolution to name a portion of Interstate 80 in San Francisco after the late baseball legend Willie Mays. The San Francisco Giants legend and baseball Hall of Famer died in June. The two-time Major League Baseball most valuable player and 24-time All-Star is regarded by many as one of the best baseball players ever. "This is an absolute homerun," said Sen. Bill Dodd.

The San Francisco Giants are heading into the stretch run of the baseball season hovering around the .500 mark after a year of ups and downs. It has been a challenging season for the Giants, as they have never really been able to string together a month in which they really gained ground in a tough National League West. While San Francisco has had some months where they finished the over .500, it hasn't been enough to really give them a realistic shot at the playoffs. The NL West is loaded with three potential playoff teams in the Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres. Despite hovering around .500 for most of the year, the Giants have had some bright spots, one of which being the play of center fielder Heliot Ramos.

Jonah Bride doubled to tie the score, then scored the go-ahead run in a two-run sixth inning.

SAN FRANCISCO -- - Kyle Stowers hit a three-run homer, and the Miami Marlins beat the San Francisco Giants 7-5 on Sunday for their first series win in more than a month. Nick Fortes had three hits and scored two runs for Miami, which won for the third time in four games. San Francisco lost for the fourth time in five games, hurting its sagging chances in the race for the third NL wild card.

If the idea of releasing Nick Ahmed was to get away from him, it certainly hasn't worked out for the San Francisco Giants. Since the Giants officially released Ahmed on July 10, all he's done is play for National League West rivals. San Diego is six games out of the NL West lead but are hanging on to a two-game lead for one of the Wild Card spots.

Logan Webb surrendered six earned runs and the Giants' offense was unable to stage another comeback in a series loss to the Marlins.

The time has finally come for pitcher Tristan Beck to return to the Majors. The San Francisco Giants activated the pitcher, who has been rehabbing an injury all season, along with outfielder Blake Sabol as rosters expanded to 28 players on Sunday. The Giants did not need to make a corresponding move. San Francisco had made several moves on Saturday that helped clean up the roster.

It was, depending on who you ask, the defining image of the 2002 World Series: a three-year-old Darren Baker being scooped up by J.T. Snow as he crossed home plate. More than two decades later, Baker has graduated from bat boy to major leaguer. Baker, the 25-year-old son of former Giants manager Dusty Baker, was called up to the big leagues by the Nationals on Sunday, marking the first time he will appear on a major-league roster. In the seventh inning of Game 5 of the 2002 World Series, Giants outfielder Kenny Lofton sent a towering fly ball off the right-center field wall.
