Logan Webb had a rough outing in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers, allowing four earned runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings.

Fantasy Impact: This performance slightly tarnishes what has been a solid season for Webb, who leaves the game with a respectable 3.72 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. His season-long metrics, including a 2.94 FIP and a 3.29 strikeout-to-walk ratio, suggest better underlying skills, which might offer some solace to fantasy managers. However, his increased WHIP and the hits allowed in this game could be concerning if they turn into a trend rather than a one-off. Webb's fantasy value remains intact, but managers should monitor his next few starts closely for signs of either rebound or continued struggles.

Fantasy Impact: Flores had previously missed time with a similar injury to his left knee. He'll likely be sidelined at least the next couple of weeks.

Robbie Ray delivered an impressive performance in Wednesday's 8-3 victory over the Dodgers, tossing five hitless innings.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed one earned run, walked two, and struck out eight. This outing, characterized by his high strikeout numbers and minimal hits allowed, further cements his status as a dominant force in fantasy leagues. With a season ERA now sitting at 1.80 and a WHIP of 0.40, Ray's ability to suppress hits and maintain a high strikeout rate (14.4 K/9) makes him a top-tier option. His performance against a strong Dodgers lineup should reassure fantasy managers about his reliability and upside as a frontline starter.

Matt Chapman went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Giants' 8-3 victory over the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a crucial homer, two runs scored, and a pair of walks, bolstering his season totals. Despite a modest .233 batting average over 100 games this season, Chapman's ability to contribute valuable extra-base hits and RBIs remains evident. His power numbers, with 14 homers and 25 doubles, provide some solace to fantasy managers, though his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern. Chapman's consistent run production and occasional power surges make him a viable option in fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that value walks and extra-base hits.

The Giants optioned Randy Rodriguez to Triple-A Sacramento.

Fantasy Impact: Rodriguez gets sent down with Robbie Ray activated from the injured list. He posted a 4.19 ERA across 43 innings in the majors with the Giants.

The San Francisco Giants optioned Luis Matos to Triple-A Sacramento.

Fantasy Impact: Matos gets sent down with Derek Hill getting added to the active roster. He should see more consistent at-bats in Triple-A.

Fantasy Impact: Wisely returns after sitting out for rest reasons Tuesday night, starting at second base and batting ninth against the Dodgers for manager Bob Melvin Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Bailey will take a seat on the bench for general rest, with Curt Casali batting eighth and filling in behind the plate at catcher for manager Bob Melvin against the Dodgers Wednesday.

Tyler Fitzgerald went 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Giants' 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a walk and he scored once. Fitzgerald's consistent hitting, evidenced by his .322 season average and .418 wOBA, continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that value on-base percentage. While the Giants struggled overall, Fitzgerald's ability to contribute power with his sixth homer suggests he can be expected to keep producing solid numbers. His blend of power and average, along with occasional stolen bases, makes him a well-rounded fantasy option.
