Butto picked up a hold over two-thirds of a scoreless inning in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Cubs, striking out one. Butto recorded his third consecutive scoreless outing, throwing four of his seven pitches for strikes after entering with one out in the eighth inning. Over 11 appearances since being traded to the Giants, the right-hander has recorded a 2.61 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB across 10.1 innings. Overall, he owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 51:25 K:BB over 57.1 innings in 45 games between the Giants and Mets.

The Giants acquired Butto, right-hander Blade Tidwell and outfielder Drew Gilbert from the Mets on Wednesday in exchange for right-hander Tyler Rogers, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. Butto was a weapon for the Mets in relief in 2024 but has regressed this season, posting a 3.64 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB over 47 innings. While Butto is likely to take Rogers' spot in the Giants bullpen, he has past starting experience and could be a rotation option if San Francisco opts to have him get stretched back out.

Butto (illness) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. New York placed Butto on the 15-day injured list July 4 after he came down with an illness, but the right-hander shouldn't be in line for an extended stay on the shelf. He may need just one or two rehab appearances before being cleared to return from the IL, possibly in advance of the Mets' first game out of the All-Star break Friday versus the Reds.

Butto earned a save against the Dodgers on Monday, retiring both batters he faced in the 10th inning. Mets closer Edwin Diaz blew a save in the ninth frame, so New York needed to go to a different reliever after scoring twice in the top of the 10th. Manager Carlos Mendoza initially called upon Jose Castillo, but he retired just one batter while allowing two Dodgers to reach base. Mendoza then turned to Butto, who got pinch hitter Will Smith to fly out before retiring Tommy Edman on a groundout with the tying run on third base. Butto came into Monday having given up four runs over four innings across his previous four outings, and he's not a threat to Diaz's role as closer, especially since the latter has been great this season -- Monday marked Diaz's first blown save of the campaign.
