  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Giants recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Fitzgerald was sent to the minors May 20 following the addition of Ryan McKenna from Baltimore. However, Fitzgerald has gone 11-for-25 with six homers and 13 RBI in just six games since joining Sacramento, so the Giants will bring him back up to the majors and look to take advantage of his hot bat. The 26-year-old owns a .269/.309/.442 slash line in 55 MLB plate appearances this year, and his return will cause the dismissal of McKenna, who was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

Urshela is slashing .273/.312/.318 without a home run across 93 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:53 am

  • Stays hot in Monday's win

  • Starts up rehab assignment
    Jones (undisclosed) began a rehab assignment with the Rockies' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Monday, going 0-for-2 with a walk, a run and an RBI while playing five innings at shortstop.

    Advice: Jones has been on Triple-A Albuquerque's 7-day injured list for more than a month with an unspecified injury, but he looks to be closing in on a return.

  • Goes deep again Monday
    Abrams went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's win over Atlanta.

    Advice: The shortstop launched a solo shot off Charlie Morton in the second inning, giving the Nationals an early 5-0 lead. Abrams has gone yard in back-to-back contests to snap a 22-game power drought, but he hasn't crawled out of his May swoon quite yet -- he hasn't stolen a base in 19 straight games, and he's slashing just .221/.237/.338 over that stretch with a 1:18 BB:K.
