They&#8217;ll do so without right-handed pitcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/giants\/onsi\/san-francisco-giants-logan-webb-woeful-in-wild-walk-off-loss-to-pirates\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Logan Webb<\/a>, who was placed on the injured list on Friday with a right middle finger blister. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a3\">The move ends Webb\u2019s uneven campaign. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/giants\/onsi\/giants-rookie-bryce-eldridge-makes-franchise-history\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Giants<\/a> have put Yunior Marte in his place. Marte made the jump from Double-A Richmond to the majors late last month and has made three starts and pitched well. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a8\">He&#8217;s pitched at least 4.2 innings in all three starts and in his last appearance against the San Diego Padres he pitched five innings of shutout baseball. He&#8217;ll also pitch on extra rest. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ad\">His opponent on the mound is two-time American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, who joined the Dodgers at the trade deadline from the Detroit Tigers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ai\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/giants\/onsi\/what-should-san-francisco-giants-starter-logan-webb-focus-on-for-rest-of-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Giants<\/a> did get some good news on Saturday as they should have first baseman Bryce Eldridge available. Eldridge was a late scratch for Friday&#8217;s game after he suffered a head laceration when he knocked his head into a door jamb at the team hotel. He was not in the starting lineup, which bears monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>Giants Lineup for Sept. 19<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01m2xakg6e72vrrrjc46.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco Giants right fielder Jung Hoo Lee adjusts his helmet during a game.\" title=\"San Francisco Giants right fielder Jung Hoo Lee adjusts his helmet during a game.\" width=\"360\" height=\"203\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"az\"\/><\/p>\n<p>San Francisco Giants right fielder Jung Hoo Lee.

Listed as a center fielder, he&#8217;s been playing more games at second base of late as the Giants continue to work through injuries across the roster. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"e0\">He&#8217;ll enter Saturday&#8217;s game with Los Angeles with a slash of .295\/.333\/.443 with four home runs and 14 RBI. Even with an injury battered roster that will return several key veterans in 2027, Cox has played himself into a role as a utility player next season.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" preventdefault:click=\"\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\" on:pointerenter=\"q-COP7zT6j.js#s_1NOcOpHWmT0\" on:touchstart=\"q-CR27V2Qt.js#s_R8AiGTDeM28\" on:focus=\"q-BkJ6v8Fp.js#s_gxiTM6qMMu8\" on:click=\"q-DBywg9xr.js#s_lDqay9E5m5g[0]\" q:id=\"e6\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco Giants continue to limp toward the finish of what they were hoping would be a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":809286,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2406],"tags":[5,39,1165,4332,4333,774,57,3224,4331,4],"class_list":["post-809285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-baseball","tag-dodgers","tag-la","tag-la-dodgers","tag-ladodgers","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-losangeles","tag-losangelesdodgers","tag-mlb"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117299852687810726","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=809285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/809286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=809285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=809285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=809285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
