The San Francisco Giants have been outscored 48-21 while losing six of their last seven games. There's no doubt they've been on a downward spiral, but it's important to maintain perspective. They're still 14-11 with a +18 run differential. They have guys coming back. A lot of the numbers this past week look fluky and unsustainable.

Baseball is a crazy game sometimes, and right now the Giants are in the midst of a rut we haven't seen from them in a while. They're struggling to score and they're struggling to prevent runs. Thankfully, guys are coming back and they should be able to get into a better offensive groove soon. Joc Pederson and Mike Yastrzemski are healthy and back on the roster. LaMonte Wade Jr. could be activated as soon as tonight.

Tyler Beede was designated for assignment yesterday. The Giants needed a 40-man and 26-man roster spot in order to activate Zack Littell off the Covid-IL. Beede was struggling in a mop-up role, so this is the end of the line for the Giants' 2014 first-round draft pick. He'll likely be traded in the next week.
