No timetable for possible SF Giants closer Tony Watson to see spring training game action

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — There’s Shaun Anderson. And Trevor Gott. And Tyler Rogers. Maybe even Matt Carasiti or Sam Coonrod gets a look.

But the leading candidate for the Giants’ closer role — if there is a formal one in this rebuilding season — hasn’t pitched yet in a spring training game and there isn’t a timetable for him to get into one.

Error 0:

Left-hander Tony Watson has been dealing with tightness in his throwing shoulder and is about three weeks behind schedule. He threw his first bullpen of the spring Saturday and will throw 20 to 25 more pitches off the mound Monday.
