Rafael Devers hasn't quite set the world on fire yet since being traded to the San Francisco Giants in an out of nowhere trade that caused a lot of uproar within the baseball world. While his slash line of .250/.357/463 entering play on Monday is solid enough, Devers hasn't quite hit to his full potential yet in Giants colors. In the very first inning of play, Devers went yard, launching an inside fastball from Rockies starter Chase Dollander to deep right field to put the Giants on the board, 1-0.

Gilbert & Teng: Fire and ice

The Atlanta Braves claimed infielder Ha-Seong Kim off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. Atlanta also activated shortstop Luke Williams from the 10-day injured list before its 7-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Right-hander Rolddy Muñoz was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett, and infielder Austin Riley was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

The Giants playoff hopes appeared dead in the water after they dropped three of four to the Padres in San Diego. The odds are still not in their favor, especially with Landen Roupp and Randy Rodríguez both out for the season. The Giants began a six-game road trip with an 8-2 Labor Day victory over the Colorado Rockies. The New York Mets, owners of the final NL wild card spot, won a whirlwind game against the Detroit Tigers.

Giants second baseman Casey Schmitt left the game in the fifth inning with a right elbow contusion after being hit with a pitch.

As Colorado Rockies rookie Chase Dollander struggles through his first season, interim manager Warren Schaeffer had a four-word rebuttal.

A three-game series at Coors Field? Gird your loins.

The Rockies start their September one loss away from 100 and three wins away from avoiding the single season loss record.

The Giants announced on Monday morning that they have selected right-hander JT Brubaker and recalled outfielder Grant McCray from Triple-A Sacramento as rosters expand from 26 to 28. All-Star reliever Randy Rodríguez, who elected to undergo Tommy John surgery this weekend, was placed on the 60-day injured list. The Giants are still alive in the playoff hunt — five games out of a wild-card spot after winning seven of their last eight games — and Brubaker and McCray were likely the best choices to help San Francisco win now. Brubaker could be used as either a multi-inning reliever or starter and McCray can be deployed as a pinch runner or defensive replacement.
