The San Francisco Giants are heading into the All-Star break looking to rest up and prepare for a second-half run that many hope will end a three-year postseason drought.

While the Giants (52-45) have put themselves in the thick of the National League Wild Card race (0.5 games back of the third and final spot), they could use some reinforcements around the board.

Here are the latest updates on the San Francisco Giants’ injured players who are currently working their way back to the diamond.

The Los Angeles Dodgers strung together two-out bloop singles by Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages around an infield hit by Teoscar Hernandez, all producing a run, in a relatively quiet 11-inning uprising that produced a 5-2 road victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday afternoon.

Baseball’s traditional first half was extended by two innings when Giants pinch-hitter Luis Matos smacked a one-out, two-run home run off Dodgers closer Tanner Scott in the last of the ninth, drawing the hosts even at 2-2.

The blown save was the major-league-leading seventh of the season for Scott, who had set the table for Matos when he served up a single to Matt Chapman one batter earlier.
