McMahon isn't in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Giants.

McMahon drew the start at the keystone in Game 1, and he picked up a base knock along with a walk and an RBI. Garrett Hampson will start at second base and bat eighth for the nightcap.

Longoria will miss more than 10 days with a strained plantar fascia in his left foot, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants were originally optimistic that Longoria could be back in action Monday, but an MRI revealed a strain which will keep him out for some time. Pablo Sandoval will act as the primary option at third base while Longoria is sidelined.

Jung was promoted to Low-A Hickory on Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The eighth-overall pick in the 2019 draft, Jung played in just four games at the rookie-league level, going 10-for-17 at the plate. He'll jump over short-season Spokane and head straight to full-season ball.

Longoria was placed on the 10-day injured list with plantar fasciitis on Monday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria left Sunday's game against the Brewers with the injury. The Giants were initially optimistic that he'd return after a brief absence, but that optimism was evidently premature. Ray Black was recalled in a corresponding move, with Pablo Sandoval expected to take over as the primary third baseman for the time being.

Longoria (foot) is not starting the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

The rest was expected after Longoria left Sunday's game against the Brewers due to plantar fasciitis. The Giants were reportedly optimistic at the time that Longoria could start in Monday's nightcap, which remains a possibility. Pablo Sandoval fills in at the hot corner in the meantime.

Duffy (hamstring), who received a day off in his rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Sunday and continues to remain free of setbacks, is just a handful of at-bats away from the 25-30 the Rays want to see him log before activation, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The veteran infielder likely has everyone in the organization crossing their fingers at this point, as it seems he's tantalizingly close to making his 2019 big-league debut. Duffy encouragingly played a full game at third base for the Bulls on Saturday, and with 21 at-bats since his rehab resumed July 4, he's as little as one game away from hitting the front end of the team's desired benchmark. Duffy is slated to play in Monday's game at minimum with Durham, but he could well be up with the major-league club by the end of the week.

Urshela went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

Urshela kicked off the scoring in this one with a single to left field, knocking in a pair of runs. The 27-year-old continues to see the ball well at the dish, and he's now slashing .302/.352/.461 with seven homers and 41 RBI over 74 contests.

Longoria (foot) is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, though manager Bruce Bochy is optimistic he'll be ready to play in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria was forced to exit Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee, but the hope is that the issue won't cause him to miss much time. The Giants should have a better idea on his availability following the first half of Monday's twin bill.

Candelario went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's 12-8 win over the Royals.

Candelario's big hit was a bases clearing double in the third inning that turned a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead for the Tigers. The 25-year-old has looked like a different player since returning to the majors from Triple-A on June 26. In 14 games since being recalled, Candelario is batting .327 with four home runs and 11 RBI

Longoria exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with left foot discomfort, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria was lifted for a pinch hitter during the fifth inning, but there was no clear indication he was otherwise dealing with an injury. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though it's poor timing regardless since the Giants have a doubleheader Monday in Colorado.
