  • MRI shows mild groin strain
    Snell has been diagnosed with a mild left groin strain following an MRI, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: The Giants expect to have a better idea Thursday as to a potential timetable for Snell, but the initial imaging seems to have revealed relatively good news. Snell's tenure with the Giants has gotten off to a rocky start, as he's posted a 9.51 ERA in five starts and made a pair of trips to the IL. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Idle against lefty
    Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Wisely will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Giants face off against another southpaw (Jordan Montgomery). Tyler Fitzgerald will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but Wisely should see the majority of the starts at the position while Nick Ahmed (wrist) remains on the injured list.

  • Starting again, but stuck in platoon
    Flores will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Flores is starting at first base for the fourth time in five games, but all but one of those starts have come against left-handed pitchers. Even with top first baseman LaMonte Wade (hamstring) on the injured list, Flores looks as though he'll remain in the short side of a platoon while recent call-up Trenton Brooks gets the opportunity to make regular starts at the position versus righties.

  • On bench versus lefty
    Brooks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Brooks is on the bench for the second game in a row while the Giants have faced southpaws Blake Walston and Jordan Montgomery in those contests. Wilmer Flores will get another start at first base Wednesday, but Brooks still looks to be in the strong side of a platoon at the position while LaMonte Wade (hamstring) is on the shelf.

  • Getting rest Wednesday
    Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Bailey will take a seat for the Wednesday afternoon game after he started behind the plate Monday and Tuesday. Curt Casali will spell Bailey at catcher in the series finale. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Mets release Jorge López
    Mets released RHP Jorge López.

    Advice: López struggled in his final three appearances for the Mets before being let go, and between that and the controversy that erupted after his final outing, he’ll probably have to spend a little time in the minors before getting another opportunity. Overall, he did have a 3.76 ERA in 26 1/3 innings for the Mets. His 19/11 K/BB ratio wasn’t great, though. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago
     
  • Heading back to Triple-A
    The Giants optioned Matos to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

    Advice: After being recalled from Sacramento on May 12, Matos operated as a near-everyday player during his three-plus-week stay with the Giants, but he moved to the bench Monday after Michael Conforto was reinstated from the IL. Though Matos rejoined the lineup Tuesday against Diamondbacks lefty Blake Walston, Matos will lose his spot with the Giants bringing back another right-handed-hitting outfielder (Austin Slater) back onto the active roster for Wednesday's series finale in Arizona. Matos likely would have had a case for sticking around with the Giants if he had been performing well, but he had fallen into a 2-for-22 drought at the dish over his last six starts.

  • Mets release Omar Narváez.
    Mets released C Omar Narváez.

    Advice: Narváez was in the second year of a two-year, $15 million contract, so there was little doubt that he’d clear waivers after being DFA’d last week. He should eventually land a backup gig somewhere. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Starting in return from IL
    The Giants reinstated Slater (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start in center field and bat leadoff in the Giants' series finale versus the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Outfielder Luis Matos was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento to make room on the active roster for Slater, who will slot back into the lineup Wednesday while Arizona brings lefty Jordan Montgomery to the hill. Slater should continue to see the overwhelming majority of his starts against southpaws, serving as a short-side platoon mate for either Mike Yastrzemski or Michael Conforto. Slater had been on the IL since May 11 while recovering from a concussion but was able to knock off some rust during a five-game rehab assignment with Sacramento. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
