  • Willson Contreras goes deep in loss to White Sox
    Willson Contreras clubbed his sixth home run of the season on Sunday afternoon, accounting for the entirety of the Cardinals’ offense in a loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: The 31-year-old backstop tagged White Sox’ left-hander Garrett Crochet for his 426-foot (111.4 mph EV) solo shot in the fourth inning, tying the game at 1-1. That would be their only scoring in the ballgame. Contreras struck out in each of his other three plate appearances in the contest, finishing the day 1-for-4. On the season, he’s now hitting .275/.398/.539 to go along with six homers, 11 RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:16 pm

    The Giants selected Reetz's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The 28-year-old has a .217/.357/.435 slash line in 15 games for Sacramento this season, and he'll receive a chance in the big leagues with Patrick Bailey (concussion) and Tom Murphy (knee) on the injured list.

    Advice: Murphy suffered the injury during Saturday's contest and is now on the injured list after an MRI revealed a sprain.

  • Giants promote Jakson Reetz from Triple-A
    Giants selected the contract of C Jakson Reetz from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: The Giants’ catching depth has been hit hard over the second half of the week, as Patrick Bailey went down with a concussion and Tom Murphy suffered a left knee sprain on Saturday. That leaves Reetz, 28, to serve as the primary backup behind Blake Sabol for the time being. Reetz had been hitting .217/.357/.435 with a pair of homers, nine RBI and an 11/6 K/BB ratio over his first 57 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:24 pm

    Giants placed C Tom Murphy on the 10-day injured list with a left knee sprain.

    Advice: As expected, the 33-year-old backstop lands on the injured list after injuring his left knee during Saturday’s battle against the Phillies. With Patrick Bailey (concussion) also shelved, the Giants will rely on Blake Sabol and Jakson Reetz to handle the load behind the plate for the time being. There’s no clear timetable for how long Murphy may be shelved for. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:22 pm
