Happy Monday, San Francisco Giants fans.
In case you missed it, the Giants made a move shortly before their 8-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. They placed left-handed pitcher Alex Wood back on the 15-day Injured List, as he continues to deal with back issues. The official reasoning for the IL stint is a “low back strain.” And the person they’re recalling to take his place is the same person who they recalled to take his place when Wood was placed on the IL in mid-April: right-handed pitcher Tristan Beck.
The Giants have been cobbling starts together this year due to Wood’s injury, and the poor pitching from their offseason additions, Sean Manaea and Ross Stripling.
