Brubaker was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to bruised ribs, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It's not clear at this time when Brubaker picked up the rib injury, but it'll cost him some time on the shelf. Ryan Walker was recalled to take Brubaker's place in the bullpen ahead of Monday's game against Cincinnati.

Wilkinson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wilkinson was tagged for four runs on seven hits while striking out a pair in Sunday's start against Boston, and the club has elected to bring up a fresh arm rather than give him another opportunity in the rotation. The Giants promoted Anthony Molina to the big leagues Monday, who could be in line to start one of Saturday's games against Arizona.

Molina was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Molina was acquired by the Giants in early August and has fared well at Triple-A, where he's posted a 2.45 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 11.0 innings (four appearances). Matt Wilkinson was optioned to Triple-A on Monday, and with San Francisco scheduled to play a doubleheader Saturday, Molina could be the favorite start one of Saturday's matchups.

Walker was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Walker will receive another opportunity in the major leagues after he was optioned July 9. He's been solid at Triple-A Sacramento in 12 appearances since his demotion, working to a 1.47 ERA and 0.93 with a 19:6 K:BB across 18.1 innings.

The Giants recalled Whitcomb from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Claimed off waivers from the Astros earlier this month, Whitcomb will now get the chance to make his Giants debut. He'll draw the start at the hot corner and bat seventh Monday following his promotion.

The Giants recalled McCray from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McCray will make his return to the big leagues after being demoted to Triple-A just 10 days earlier. With Jung Hoo Lee is serving as the designated hitter Monday after Victor Bericoto (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list and Bryce Eldridge (personal) was placed on the bereavement list, McCray will start in right field and bat eighth in the series opener.

The Giants recalled Furman from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Furman is back up with the Giants after being demoted Aug. 14. He'll man second base and bat sixth during Monday's series opener after San Francisco made a flurry of roster moves, which included placing Willy Adames (elbow) on the injured list and Bryce Eldridge (personal) on the bereavement list.

Bericoto was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a bone bruise in his right knee, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bericoto suffered a knee injury during Sunday's matchup and was forced from the game, and the team has since determined that he'll require a trip to the injured list. Grant McCray, who was promoted Monday, and Jonah Cox could see more opportunities in the corner outfield spots with Bericoto out of commission.

The Giants placed Eldridge (personal) on the bereavement list Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

As expected, the Giants deactivated Eldridge after he left the team to attend his grandfather's funeral in Virginia. Eldridge is expected to be away from the Giants for their entire three-game series against the Reds before rejoining the team ahead of Thursday's series opener versus the Diamondbacks.

Adames was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left elbow sprain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Adames picked up the injury during Sunday's series finale against Boston, and it'll cost him at least the next 10 days. The Giants will presumably turn to Christian Koss and Osleivis Basabe at shortstop while Adames is on the mend. The club has classified Adames' injury as a moderate sprain, and he'll likely need longer than the 10-day minimum before being activated, per Rubin.
