Won't return this season DeSclafani (ankle) said Sunday that he's out for the season, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact DeSclafani underwent right ankle surgery June 12 and will require another procedure to set a tendon in his ankle in place next Tuesday. The right-hander will require 4-5 months to recover, so it seems likely that he'll be able to return to the field for spring training in 2023. DeSclafani posted a 9.95 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in 19 innings over five starts this season.

Headed for ankle surgery Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Sunday that DeSclafani will undergo surgery on his right ankle June 12, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Surgery was floated as a possibility for DeSclafani after he landed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a recurrence of inflammation in the ankle, the same injury that sidelined him for two months before he returned from the shelf to make two starts. After the Giants reassessed DeSclafani on Saturday, the pitcher will elect to go under the knife with the hope of resolving the ankle injury once and for all. Kapler wasn't able to provide a timeline for DeSclafani's return from surgery, but another multi-month absence could be in the forecast for the 32-year-old right-hander.

Returns to injured list DeSclafani was placed on the injured list with ankle inflammation Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact DeSclafani missed two months with the same issue earlier in the season, and he didn't look anything close to good in two starts since his return, giving up 12 runs in 5.2 combined innings. The Giants are worried about the recurrence of the injury, and surgery is on the table, Pavlovic reports. Jakob Junis (hamstring) is expected to eventually fill DeSclafani's spot in the rotation, but the team may have to go with a bullpen game or two until Junis ready to return.

Pelted for seven runs DeSclafani (0-2) gave up seven earned runs on seven hits and a walk over 2.2 innings in a 10-3 loss to the Reds on Sunday. He struck out one and was tagged with the loss.
Impact DeSclafani had another miserable start since coming off the IL due to ankle inflammation, this time being chased after only 53 pitches in what should have been a relatively soft matchup. The veteran right-hander has now given up 12 earned runs in his past two starts to balloon his ERA up to 9.95 over 19 innings. DeSclafani will look to get back on track and recapture some of his success from 2021 in his next expected start Sunday against the White Sox.

Lit up in return Desclafani gave up five earned runs on six hits and a walk - including two home runs - in a 12-10 win over the Braves on Tuesday. He struck out three and did not factor into the de...
Impact Desclafani's first start since April 21 did not go well. He was pelted by the Braves for six hits, including home runs off the bats of Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson. Desclafani's workload was expected to be limited for this start due to having just missed two months on the IL for ankle inflammation, but his ineffectiveness could have led to him being pulled from the game anyways. The 32-year-old right-hander is coming off a career season in 2021 with 13 wins and a 3.17 ERA over 167.2 innings. He should have a chance to get back on track in his next start against the Reds this weekend.

Activated for Tuesday's start DeSclafani (ankle) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and is starting Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact The 32-year-old was previously confirmed as Tuesday's starting pitcher, and he's now officially back on San Francisco's active roster. DeSclafani has been sidelined by ankle inflammation for the past two months, and he figures to face some workload limitations in his first couple outings back from the injury since he covered only 2.2 innings during his final rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento.

Confirmed as Tuesday's starter DeSclafani (ankle) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Braves, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact DeSclafani will make his first start since April 21 after missing almost two entire months due to right ankle inflammation. His last rehab outing lasted just 2.2 innings at Triple-A Sacramento, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Giants hold him to a pitch count Tuesday evening, though the club has yet to announce any such restriction. The move will be made official closer to first pitch, as San Francisco will need to send someone off the active roster to make room for DeSclafani's activation.

Likely to return Tuesday DeSclafani (ankle) rejoined the Giants on their road trip Sunday and appears on track to return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday in Atlanta, Evan Webeck of The San Jos...
Impact DeSclafani has been on the shelf since April 22 with right ankle inflammation, but he looks to be ready for a return to the big club after recently completing a pair of rehab starts in the minors. He most recently gave up four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks over 2.2 innings Thursday for Triple-A Sacramento, tossing 60 pitches in that outing. DeSclafani could have some light restrictions with his workload Tuesday if he's indeed activated for that game, but the Giants have seemingly foreshadowed the right-hander's upcoming return by moving No. 5 starter Sam Long back to the bullpen over the weekend.
