The San Francisco Giants have picked up manager Bob Melvin's club option for the 2026 season, signaling confidence in his leadership amidst a struggling season.

Buster Posey exercised Bob Melvin's 2026 option. Wilmer Flores will be playing third base tonight due to Christian Koss going on the injured list with a hamstring strain.

McCovey Cove is vibrant during day games, filled with spectators in various watercraft including inflatable rafts, yachts, and kayaks. It’s a lively environment.

The Giants' lineup has struggled mightily, managing to score effectively in only 4 of their last 14 games, showcasing a continued inability to convert their offensive opportunities.

"Right-hander Landen Roupp allowed one run (none earned) over 5 1/3 innings with four strikeouts, showcasing his growth as a pivotal starter in the Giants rotation."

Since returning from the IL following rehab from it, Fitzgerald's performance has sharply declined, hitting just .186/.245/.227 in 110 plate appearances, indicating a need for development.
