Giants' Mac Williamson: Starting Saturday against RHP

Williamson is starting in right field and hitting eighth Saturday against the Yankees with righty Ivan Nova on the mound.

Analysis:

It is noteworthy that Williamson is getting the nod with a righty on the mound, as he is typically used only against southpaws. Of course, he has two home runs in his last eight at-bats, so manager Bruce Bochy might just be going with the hot hand. If the Giants don't upgrade their outfield at the trade deadline, Williamson could see the bulk of the starts in right field while Hunter Pence (hamstring) continues his rehab.
