We Need to Have a Conversation About Steven Kwan

You could call it a Kwanversation. Sorry, but Dad Jokes have been part of my life for 17 years now and they're not going away. The fantasy baseball world has been buzzing about Steven Kwan for a little while. It started in the preseason when he was a trendy sleeper in some circles. It grew […]

Matthew Boyd Throwing Off A Mound

San Francisco Giants left-hander Matthew Boyd (elbow) continues to throw off a mound twice a week and is making good progress. Boyd had elbow surgery last September, and the Giants knew when they signed him to a one-year deal that he wouldn't be ready this year until sometime in June. The 31-year-old southpaw looks to […]

San Francisco Giants infielder Tommy La Stella (Achilles) has resumed baseball activities and is taking ground balls, hitting and running.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos has been recalled on Sunday. The 22-year-old outfielder will take the place of right-hander John Brebbia who has been placed on the bereavement list.

No Timetable For Tommy La Stella

There is no timetable for San Francisco Giants infielder Tommy La Stella (Achilles), but he says he's day-to-day. Scar tissue is likely contributing to his Achilles discomfort.
