Giants southpaw Erik Miller will be out for several weeks, which should impact their deadline approach.

Monday night's loss to the Giants was lined with defensive miscues, questionable umpire calls and a lack of Phillies offense.

Casey Schmitt won't be the Giants' starting third baseman now that Matt Chapman is back from the injured list, but another starting opportunity awaits. The Giants announced on Monday afternoon that Schmitt has been activated off the 10-day injured list after the infielder dealt with left hand inflammation for the last week-and-a-half. Schmitt will hit sixth and start at second base in his return, kicking off his time as San Francisco's starting second baseman.

Landen Roupp vs. Cristopher Sánchez

The San Francisco Giants have made a decision on one of their young players it seemed they were parting ways with just a couple of days ago. According to an announcement from the team, as part of a series of roster moves, the Giants have re-signed catcher Logan Porter to a minor league deal after he cleared waivers and elected free agency.

Porter was originally designated for assignment at the end of last week when Sergio Alcántara was added to the roster due to a series of injuries in the infield.

Casey Schmitt has been activated off the 10-day injured list, with Tyler Fitzgerald being optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento as the corresponding move. Schmitt was placed on the IL after being hit by a pitch on June 25 against the Miami Marlins. More News: Is Embattled San Francisco Giants Superstar Turning Offensive Corner?

The beginning of the end

Glasnow has been sidelined since April 28 with right shoulder inflammation. He made five starts prior to his IL stint.

On June 2, former Alabama baseball player Brett Auerbach's multi-year stint in the San Francisco Giants' system ended when he was cut by the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats. A short time later, he signed with the Olmecas de Tabasco of the Mexican Baseball League. Tabasco traded him to the Piratas de Campeche on June 23, and the results have been immediate. Over the past week, Auerbach has hit four home runs, including two in a single game on July 4.

Trea Turner shrugs off All-Star snub and acknowledges Cristopher Sánchez as Taijuan Walker prepares for his return to the starting rotation.

The Giants' opportunistic offense capitalized in a crucial eighth inning to power San Francisco's 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday.

The offense finally found some juice against the Athletics, and it would be an opportune time to stay on the right track to complement their All-Star pitching staff. Starting pitchers Logan Webb and Robbie Ray were named All-Stars for a second time, and reliever Randy Rodríguez joins them in his first.

One of the rare times when we all agree that the subject isn’t fooling anybody.

The San Francisco Giants are known for having some of the most passionate fans in Major League Baseball, and that reigned true this weekend in Northern California, where their Sacramento-area fan base came out in droves to support the orange and black as they faced the Athletics in Sacramento for the first time in a MLB setting.
