The San Francisco Giants activated two key players from the injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians.

Steven Kwan is one of the best leadoff hitters in baseball. The Giants were threatening to tie or take the lead in the eighth inning of the 3-2 ballgame, with runners on first and second base with no outs. Kwan got a great jump in left field to grab the line drive hit by Wilmer Flores, but it's what happened after that catch that might have saved the game.

Rafael Devers was the focal point on Tuesday afternoon, but right-hander Justin Verlander also spoke with reporters about his upcoming return after missing a month due to injury. “It feels exciting,” said Verlander before Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Verlander, 42, hasn't appeared for the Giants since pitching four innings against the Athletics on May 18. On May 22, San Francisco placed Verlander on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to May 19) with right pectoral soreness.

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is July 31st, but the Boston Red Sox didn't waste any time. The move throws Alex Cora's roster into disarray, but outfielder Wilyer Abreu is one player who could benefit.

The San Diego Padres are trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants in the National League West.

Jason Heyward was struggling before his injury, and none of the replacement options have been great.

Takeaways from the press conference: 'Today's a great day for the city of San Francisco' Buster Posey, former Giants catcher and three-time World Series winner who is now the president of baseball operations, opened the program by name dropping Giants legends — Mays, McCovey, Marichal, Bonds, Clark, Kent — then said: “San Francisco Giants fans love great players. Great players have the ability to transcend generations, and Rafael Devers is one of those players.” Posey continued to lavish praise on Devers: “He's the type of player that makes his teammates around him better. Rafael Devers is a dude. He's been to the top. He's won it all, and we can't wait to watch him help us bring a World Series
