Springs (3-8) allowed six runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Springs had a rotten June, allowing at least three runs in each of his six outings for the month. He gave up a total of 32 runs (30 earned) over 27 innings in that span. He still hasn't won a game since April 14 versus the Rangers. Springs is at a 5.79 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 80:33 K:BB through 93.1 innings over 18 starts this season. Springs has had a particularly tough time at home with a 6.79 ERA over his 11 home starts, including two games in Las Vegas. His next outing is projected to be on the road in Detroit.

Betts went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

Betts hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games in June, going 19-for-51 (.373) in that span. The shortstop has put his slow, injury-disrupted start to the season behind him with this surge. He's now hitting .244 with a .744 OPS, 11 home runs, 28 RBI, 31 runs scored, eight doubles and one stolen base over 51 contests.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

Rojas homered in the sixth inning and supplied another RBI with a sacrifice fly in the seventh. The infielder hasn't seen a lot of playing time lately, but he was in the lineup at second base Tuesday since Tommy Edman shifted over to third base while Max Muncy sat out versus a left-handed pitcher. Rojas is up to three homers this season, with two of them coming over his last 11 games. He's batting .279 with a .743 OPS, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored, seven doubles and no stolen bases over 140 plate appearances this season.

Boyd (3-1) earned the win over San Diego on Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out two batters over five-plus innings.

Boyd made just his second appearance since returning from a lengthy absence due to injuries to his knee and shoulder, and he was limited to 76 pitches for a second straight start. That was enough to get him through five-plus innings, however, and consequently allowed him to get his third victory of the campaign. The left-hander was knocked for two long balls and departed having allowed two runners to reach base without recording an out in the sixth, but Javier Assad was able to get out of the jam without letting either inherited runner score. Boyd has been fairly effective so far since coming off the IL, yielding three runs across 9.2 frames with a 6:4 K:BB across his two starts. He's lined up to next face the Orioles in Baltimore.

Edman went 4-for-5 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

Edman had an excellent performance that included his first homer of the season in the third inning. He has logged multiple hits in five of 11 games since he made his season debut June 17 versus the Rays. The utility man is batting .395 with eight RBI, three runs scored, two doubles and one triple over 42 plate appearances.

Wrobleski (10-2) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out 11 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

Wrobleski's 11 strikeouts were a career high. He was excellent in June, allowing nine runs over 30.2 innings with a 24:4 K:BB. He's won his last three starts and hasn't taken a loss since May 22 in Milwaukee. The southpaw is now at a 2.80 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 64:18 K:BB through 93.1 innings over 15 appearances (14 starts) this season. Wrobleski is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rockies.

Devers went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Devers went deep in the seventh inning for his fourth homer in his last seven games. He's gone 7-for-25 (.280) with seven RBI in that span. The infielder is now hitting .242 with a .763 OPS, 15 homers, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored, 24 doubles and a triple over 85 contests this season. Devers has trended up over the last couple of weeks, and eight of his 15 homers so far this season came in June.

Arraez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a triple in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

The light-hitting Arraez had a chance at the cycle but couldn't get it done, hitting a deep flyout to left field in the eighth inning. He has gone 17-for-41 (.415) with two homers, six RBI, four doubles and one triple over his last 11 games. The infielder is batting .331 with an .836 OPS, four homers, 32 RBI, 43 runs scored, 18 doubles, seven triples and six stolen bases over 80 contests.

Chapman was diagnosed with an abdominal muscle strain following his removal from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman said the injury has been bothering him for about a month, but he aggravated it while making a barehanded play in the sixth inning and later had to come out of the game. He's scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday to determine the severity of the strain, at which point the Giants will have a better idea of whether he'll need a stint on the IL. With Willy Adames (back) also dealing with an injury, the Giants are thin on infielders and will likely make a roster move before Wednesday's contest to add depth.

Roupp (5-8) allowed six runs on five hits and six walks while striking out four over 2.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Roupp lacked control -- the six walks represented a season high. This was his shortest outing of the season and guaranteed that he ended a second straight month winless. He has gone 0-7 across his last 11 starts, allowing four or more runs in six of them. Roupp has a 4.55 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 99:40 K:BB through 89 innings over 17 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Blue Jays in his next outing.
