Rookie right-hander Shaun Anderson has had an up-and-down season in his inaugural campaign with the San Francisco Giants.
He made his MLB debut on May 15 as a starter, but he struggled to pitch deep into games, and he was relegated to the bullpen as a result. In the long run, this might be the best thing for him and the team.
Prior to the trade deadline, the San Francisco Giants traded away several bullpen arms including Sam Dyson, Mark Melancon, and Drew Pomeranz. In addition to this, Reyes Moronta, Tony Watson, and Trevor Gott have sustained season-ending injuries, with Moronta expected to miss most of 2020.
