San Francisco Giants DVOA, Stats, & MLB Rankings

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb allowed just one run with five hits and no walks across seven innings en route to defeating the Houston Astros. He tallied six punchouts. His lone blemish came in the fourth inning when Jose Altuve hit a solo shot. This was a strong bounce-back for Webb as he allowed six hits and three earned runs over five frames in his first start of the campaign against the Cincinnati Reds. Last season, the 28-year-old logged 204 1/4 innings and held a 3.47 ERA with a 1.23 WHIP. He tallied 173 punchouts but was able to generate ground balls at an elite 57.2 percent rate. Since 2022, Webb has been a true workhorse, logging at least 192 innings in each campaign. Webb is tentatively scheduled to get a rematch against the Reds, who gave him trouble on Opening Day in his next start.

San Francisco Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI during their 7-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Monday evening. Flores tallied an RBI single in the second frame off Houston right-hander Ronel Blanco. This hit scored outfielder Heliot Ramos. Later in the sixth, Flores would launch a three-run shot, which scored Jung Hoo Lee and Patrick Bailey. The 33-year-old has enjoyed a productive start to the campaign, going 4-for-15 with three long balls, eight RBI, and a 1:1 BB:K. After going deep just four times across 71 contests last season, Flores is just one home run away from matching that number in 2025. Fantasy managers should expect Flores to continue to serve as the everyday DH in San Francisco while Jerar Encarnacion (hand) remains sidelined.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Ryan Walker (back) was unavailable to take the mound during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Instead, Camilo Doval was called upon to hold a three-run lead in the ninth inning. Doval did a nice job as he tossed a scoreless inning and recorded one strikeout for his first save of the season. Manager Bob Melvin said Walker is dealing with back tightness, but it's believed to be a minor issue. The expectation is that Walker will be ready to go within the next few days. Fantasy managers should monitor this situation. Doval would be worth adding if Walker does end up missing some time.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Camilo Doval was asked to take the ball with a three-run lead during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Normally, Ryan Walker (back) would be used in this spot, but he was unavailable for this game. Doval made easy work of the Reds as he tossed a scoreless inning with one strikeout. Doval used to be the primary closer in San Francisco, but now Walker has taken over that role. Doval will likely see occasional save chances, but it sounds like Walker will be available on Monday. That being said, Doval isn't worth adding in most fantasy formats with Walker around.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos is off to a nice start to begin the 2025 season. On Sunday, Ramos went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the win over the Cincinnati Reds. The 25-year-old took right-hander Nick Martinez deep in the fifth inning to mark his second homer in three games. Ramos is coming off a solid season in 2024 and is looking to build on it this year. He already has two homers and four RBI, so fantasy managers might want to make sure Ramos isn't sitting around on the waiver wire.
