  • Sitting against lefty
    Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Lowe will dodge a matchup with southpaw Chris Sale on Friday. Instead, Jose Caballero will bat eighth and play second. Lowe has produced multiple hits in three of his last eight games with a pair of homers during that stretch. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:46 pm

  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Gordon is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Left-hander MacKenzie Gore is the Nationals' starting pitcher for this one, so the lefty-hitting Gordon will take a seat. Bryan De La Cruz is in left field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:44 pm

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Giants optioned Schmitt to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Schmitt saw some action at shortstop after Nick Ahmed (wrist) went down, but Brett Wisely had overtaken him recently and now Ahmed is back in the fold. The 25-year-old Schmitt has produced just a .586 OPS in 102 games so far at the big-league level. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:43 am

  • Moves up in batting order
    Hamilton batted second and went 1-for-5 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-3 win over Philadelphia.

    Advice: Hamilton's good stretch of hitting led to him batting second for the second consecutive game against a right-hander, and the shortstop extended his hit streak to five games. Since mid-May, when manager Alex Cora started giving him regular run in the starting lineup, Hamilton has slashed .341/.378/.553 with 11 extra-base hits, nine RBI, 14 runs and 10 steals over 26 contests.
