With the unfortunate news that SF Giants closer Randy Rodríguez has gone on the IL with an elbow issue, the Giants called up pitcher Keaton Winn. While he has been a starter for most of his career, it seems he is now trending towards being a reliever.
For much of his minor league career, Winn was a starter. Even through last season he was primarily a starting pitcher and even made 12 starts with the Giants as he pitched to a dismal 7.16 ERA.

With his struggles as a starter as well as his injury history, it probably makes sense to use Winn as a reliever.
