Ruf (hamstring) will miss "at least the next three weeks," Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ruf was diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain at the end of May, and the injury has a 3-to-4 week recovery timeline. Manager Gabe Kapler provided an update on the 34-year-old's status Friday, and he'll likely be sidelined until at least the latter end of his recovery timetable.

Ruf was diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ruf was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, and he underwent an MRI that revealed a strain. The injury has a 3-to-4 week recovery timeline, so the 34-year-old should spend more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf. A better idea of his return timetable could come into focus once Ruf is able to resume activities.

Ruf (hamstring) was placed on the injured list Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ruf suffered the injury while rounding first base in Wednesday's contest against the Diamondbacks. He'll now be out at least ten days, though the results of a pending MRI will dictate if he can return after the minimum amount of time. LaMonte Wade was recalled in the corresponding move.

Ruf (hamstring) isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ruf left Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with an apparent right hamstring injury and was slated to undergo an MRI on Thursday. While the results of his MRI aren't yet known, Jason Vosler will start at first base and bat eighth.

Ruf (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ruf went 2-for-3 with a pair of base hits before he was removed from Wednesday's 5-4 win with an apparent right hamstring injury. Jason Vosler came on to replace Ruf and supplied a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning to lift the Giants to victory. With all of Brandon Belt (oblique), Wilmer Flores (hamstring) and Tommy La Stella (hamstring) on the injured list, Ruf will likely be in line for steady reps at first base if his own hamstring issue doesn't prove to be too significant. The Giants should have a better idea of Ruf's recovery timeline once the results of the MRI are read.

Ruf was removed from Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with an apparent right hamstring injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old suffered the injury while rounding first base on a single during the sixth inning, and he was immediately replaced by a pinch runner. It would be a tough break for Ruf should he be forced to miss any time since he was poised to fill in at first base with Brandon Belt (oblique) on the injured list.

Ruf went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, two RBI, four runs scored and a walk Thursday against Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Ruf highlighted his impressive performance with a two-run homer in the third inning -- his sixth of the season. He also added a pair doubles and came around to score on each occasion. With Brandon Belt (side) banged up and Wilmer Flores (hamstring) on the injured list, Ruf could see increased opportunity in the short-term.

Ruf went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
He gave the Giants a quick lead by driving a one-out offering from Tyler Anderson over the fence in center field in the first inning. Ruf continues to find his way into the lineup only against southpaws, limiting his playing time and his fantasy value. Through 66 plate appearances this season he has a .235/.394/.569 slash line with five homers, one steal, 12 runs and 13 RBI.

Ruf went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, two walks and a run scored in Monday's 12-0 blowout win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Ruf contributed an RBI single as part of the Giants' first-inning rally. He got aboard with a walk in the second and scored on a three-run double by Mauricio Dubon. Through 36 plate appearances, Ruf has three home runs, nine RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base. The outfielder is slashing .207/.333/.552 and will typically hit in the middle of the order versus southpaws.
