San Francisco Giants DVOA, Stats, & MLB Rankings

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI during their victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday evening. In the second inning, Ramos would knock an RBI single to third base, which would score Matt Chapman. Later in the 11th inning, Ramos would hit his second double of the contest, which scored Matt Chapman again. Ramos has continued to swing a hot bat over the past two weeks. Over his last nine contests, the 25-year-old has posted an impressive .375/.459/.625 slash line with two home runs. Overall, Ramos has held a solid .257/.323/.429 line with five long balls and three stolen bases. He continues to have an everyday role in the San Francisco starting nine. He will look to continue this productive stretch on Wednesday, facing Cubs right-hander Ben Brown.

The San Francisco Giants recalled left-hander Kyle Harrison from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, and the team's plan is for Harrison to work out of their bullpen, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic. Harrison's velocity has improved in recent weeks and he had a 3.46 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with eight walks and 38 strikeouts in 26 innings over his six starts for Sacramento. The 23-year-old southpaw could eventually work his way back into the Giants' starting rotation, but for now he'll pitch in relief and won't really be much of a fantasy weapon. In his first two big-league seasons in 2023 and 2024, the former third-rounder went 8-8 with a 4.47 ERA (4.59 FIP) and 1.30 WHIP with 53 walks and 153 strikeouts in 159 innings over 31 starts for the Gigantes. It's encouraging that his velocity is back up, but fantasy managers will need to see more.

The San Francisco Giants are saying that outfielder Jerar Encarnacion (hand) could play in minor-league rehab games as early as this weekend, and it looks like he's on track to be fully ready when he's eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on May 23, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic. Encarnacion has yet to make his 2025 season debut after having surgery to fix a fractured left hand in late March, but he should be back with the Giants before the calendar flips to June. The 27-year-old Dominican was swinging a hot bat in spring training before his injury and looked to be in line for a regular role as the team's designated hitter, so fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep a watchful eye on what his role is when he returns from the IL. In 35 games for San Fran in 2024, Encarnacion hit .248/.277/.425 with five home runs, 19 RBI and 13 runs scored in 119 trips to the plate.

Entering Sunday's action, only six outfielders with at least 100 plate appearances had produced a lower wRC+ than Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Michael Conforto's mark of 63. In addition, all his batted-ball metrics from a year ago are down. Conforto went 8-for-26 with two home runs and four doubles in his first eight games, but he's hit into as many double plays as he's gotten hits (six) since then. The Dodgers signed Conforto for $17 million in the offseason, so they are incentivized to keep giving him chances. Manager Dave Roberts thinks the 32-year-old has been pressing at the plate. Conforto struck out two more times in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Braves, and his OPS is down to .528 after going hitless in his last 29 at-bats. The Dodgers have the luxury of being patient with Conforto, but it doesn't mean he won't find himself on the bench soon enough.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb fired seven innings of one-run ball in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, improving to 4-2 on the season. The former fourth-round pick allowed six hits, walking two batters, and striking out six. Webb was excellent through the first four innings but found trouble in the fifth when Jacob Stallings pushed across Mickey Moniak after the latter tripled in the at-bat before. However, that would be the lone tally against him as the 28-year-old cruised through the subsequent two frames, ultimately getting pulled after 96 pitches (66 strikes). It's a nice rebound for him after allowing five earned runs over five innings in his last outing against the Padres. He'll bring a 2.61 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with a 56:13 K:BB ratio (48 1/3 innings) into his next start, which should come next weekend against the Minnesota Twins on the road.
