ANTHONY DESCLAFANI NEWS

Coming off IL on Tuesday The Giants plan to activate DeSclafani (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday to make a start in Cincinnati, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact DeSclafani was shelved earlier this month after experiencing right shoulder fatigue, but he completed a rehab start Thursday without issue and will slot back into the rotation when the Giants require a fifth starter for the first time following the All-Star break. In his outing for the Giants' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate this past Thursday, DeSclafani struck out four over four innings and allowed one run on five hits and no walks.

Making rehab start Thursday DeSclafani (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with the Giants' Arizona Complex League affiliate Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact It sounds like it will be the only rehab start he'll need, setting the right-hander up to rejoin the Giants' rotation next week. DeSclafani has been on the shelf since early July due to right shoulder fatigue. He's posted a 4.44 ERA across 17 starts for San Francisco this season.

Placed on 15-day IL DeSclafani landed on the 15-day injured list Monday with right shoulder fatigue, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact DeSclafani was lifted from Sunday's start against the Mets after throwing only 55 pitches, and this move will get the right-hander some rest going into the All-Star break. Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list to take DeSclafani's place.

Chased early by Mets DeSclafani (4-8) took the loss Saturday as the Giants were downed 4-1 by the Mets, giving up three solo home runs in three innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

Impact The homers were the only hits the veteran right-hander allowed and they all came in the third inning, as Francisco Alvarez, Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor took DeSclafani deep to chase him from the game after only 55 pitches (34 strikes). After a strong start to the year, he has a 6.39 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB over his last eight outings and 38 innings, serving up eight homers along the way. DeSclafani will try to turn things around in his final start before the All-Star break, which is likely to come at home next weekend against the Rockies.

Takes tough-luck loss DeSclafani (4-7) yielded two runs on five hits over six innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against Arizona.

Impact After allowing a run in each of the first two innings, DeSclafani fired four shutout frames to end his afternoon. Assuming he doesn't take the mound again this month, he went 0-3 with a 6.65 ERA across five starts in June. DeSclafani now owns a 4.28 ERA and a 69:18 K:BB through 16 starts. His next outing is currently lined up to be a road start against the Mets.

Gives up three runs in no-decision DeSclafani didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Padres after he allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out six.

Impact It certainly wasn't a bad start from DeSclafani, though it's still the fifth time in his past six outings he's given up at least three earned runs. The right-hander has a 4.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 66:18 K:BB across 84.1 innings this year, and he tentatively projects to next take the mound this weekend versus Arizona.

Unravels in second inning DeSclafani did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over three innings against the Cardinals. He struck out seven.

Impact Things were looking good for DeSclafani early on after the right-hander struck out the side in the first inning to kick things off. He was unable to carry that momentum into the next frame, however, giving up singles to three of the first four batters he faced in the inning before surrendering a grand slam to Tommy Edman to put San Francisco in an early hole. DeSclafani was fortunate to escape with a no-decision after losing five of his last six decisions coming in and he's now allowed 12 runs through three starts this month.

Quality start in loss DeSclafani (4-6) allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out two over six-plus innings, taking the loss versus the Cubs on Friday.

Impact DeSclafani got through six scoreless innings before running into trouble in the seventh. Ryan Walker then allowed two inherited runners to score, which was enough to give DeSclafani the loss despite his quality start. This was just the second time he's gone at least six innings over his last six appearances. The right-hander has a 3.89 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 53:16 K:BB through 76.1 innings over 13 starts this season. DeSclafani is lined up for a road start in St. Louis next week.

Turns in dud Sunday DeSclafani (4-5) allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out two over three innings.

Impact All of that damage came in the third inning. DeSclafani has allowed at least five runs in three of his last six starts, a puzzling stretch of struggles for the veteran right-hander after he started the year well. He's also walked multiple batters in three of his last four starts. He's at a decent 3.97 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 12 outings this season. DeSclafani is projected to make his next start at home versus the Cubs.

JUNE 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up fourth win DeSclafani (4-4) yielded three runs on eight hits over seven innings Monday, striking out two and earning a win over Pittsburgh.

Impact DeSclafani gave up just one run through six frames before the Pirates put two on the board in the seventh. He's given up three or more runs in four of his last five outings, raising his season ERA to 3.48. DeSclafani has registered a 5.22 ERA during that five-game span after posting a 2.13 ERA through his first six outings. He'll carry a 49:9 K:BB into his next outing, which is projected to be at home against the Orioles.

Struggles versus Minnesota DeSclafani (3-4) took the loss Wednesday, allowing seven runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks over five innings during a 7-1 loss to the Twins. He struck out six.

Impact DeSclafani surrendered a leadoff homer to Edouard Julien in the bottom of the first, and things didn't get much better for the right-hander as the game progressed. He allowed at least one run in each of the first four innings but was charged with only four earned runs thanks to a trio of errors in the third. Despite allowing a season-high seven runs, DeSclafani was able to finish at least five innings and record six-plus strikeouts for a second consecutive game and the fourth time this season. He'll look to get back on track next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for the opener of a three-game set versus Pittsburgh.

Fans six in no-decision DeSclafani did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against Miami. He struck out six.

Impact DeSclafani continues his hot start, as he's now tied for ninth in the league with a 0.99 WHIP. The former Red also sports a 5.9 strikeout-to-walk ratio, which would be a career-high if he stays at that pace throughout the season. The right-hander is tentatively slated to face the Twins on the road in his next appearance.

Cleared for series opener DeSclafani (toe) is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Marlins in San Francisco, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The Giants' decision to move Sean Manaea to the bullpen earlier in the week supported the notion that the right toe issue that bothered DeSclafani during his most recent outing last Saturday in Arizona wouldn't be anything that forced him to miss a turn through the rotation. Through eight outings this season, DeSclafani has churned out a 3.06 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 35:5 K:BB across 50 innings.

Leaves with toe injury Giants manager Gabe Kapler told reporters that DeSclafani left Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks with a right toe injury, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kapler told reporters that DeSclafani dropped a piano bench on his right toe a few weeks ago, and that the toe was "bugging" him during Saturday's start before ultimately exiting. The right-hander should be considered day-to-day at this point, but whether he can make his scheduled start over the weekend will depend on how he responds in the coming days.

Leaves with apparent injury DeSclafani left Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks with a potential injury in the sixth inning, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact DeSclafani appeared to tweak his ankle while trying to make a play on a grounder before leaving with a trainer. Scott Alexander has taken over on the mound in DeSclafani's absence.

Coughs up five runs in loss DeSclafani (3-2) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk over seven innings against Washington. He struck out three.

Impact Although DeSclafani pitched deep into the game, his five earned runs allowed were the most he's given up this year. However, the right-hander is still having a great season, as his 0.93 is tied for sixth in MLB. The 33-year-old is still a dependable option heading into his next tentative appearance against Arizona.
