The San Francisco Giants on Sunday placed rookie left-hander Carson Whisenhunt on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, due to a strained back. In a corresponding move, San Francisco recalled rookie right-hander Kai-Wei Teng from Triple-A Sacramento. The Giants also expect Matt Chapman to be "fine" and not miss any games after fouling a ball off his left foot in Sunday's 13-2 home win over the Baltimore Orioles, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The third baseman left the game for a pinch runner after drawing a walk in the fifth inning and feeling soreness in his left foot.

Justin Verlander struck out 10 as the Giants crushed the Orioles 13-2, joining an elite club and achieving a career milestone at age 42.

Justin Verlander collected more accolades for his Hall of Fame plaque, Rafael Devers did the heaviest offensive lifting with three hits, including a home run, and the San Francisco Giants blasted the visiting Baltimore Orioles 13-2 in the finale of a high-scoring, three-game series Sunday afternoon. Rookie Drew Gilbert had his first three-hit game, featuring his first triple, and Heliot Ramos lashed three singles for the Giants, who sandwiched Saturday's 11-1 loss with 15-8 and 13-2 triumphs. Verlander (3-10) worked a laborious five innings to earn his third win of the season, the 265th of his career.

San Francisco Giants catcher Tom Murphy has been sidelined since this Spring, due to a severe back injury. Murphy, who signed with the Giants in 2023, has been riddled with health issues throughout his tenure with the club. “That first day of practice, I just kind of felt something weird in my back, and it was tightening, tightening and making it harder to move,” Murphy said.

Having thrilled family and friends with a two-hit performance on the second day of his first professional series in his native California, rookie outfielder Dylan Beavers will reach another first when he and the Baltimore Orioles see Justin Verlander in the finale of their three-game series against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Having hit in tough luck in Friday's series opener, when a 0-for-3 night included a pair of flyball outs to center field that traveled a total of about 780 feet, Beavers got a couple of balls to fall into left field on Saturday, resulting in the fourth two-hit effort of his 13-game major-league career. The former Cal standout had plenty of multi-hit games as a collegian, when he hit .303 with 18 homers as a sophomore and .291 with 17 homers as a junior, leading the Orioles to select him in the first round of the 2022 draft. Beavers, who was born in the Central California coastal city of San Luis Obispo, admitted his first two weeks in the majors have been a whirlwind.

SAN FRANCISCO —It wasn't too long ago that manager Bob Melvin, having been swept by the Padres at home in mid-August, mentioned the idea of giving his regulars some days off and getting looks at younger players. With the Giants in the midst of a six-game winning streak, those plans are likely on hold. On Sept. 1, the Giants' brass will have to decide which two players they select from Triple-A Sacramento to join the big-league roster as rosters expand from 26 to 28. With San Francisco still mathematically alive, president of baseball operations Buster Posey and company may find themselves leaning towards players more equipped to win now.
