Starts up rehab assignment McGee (back) made a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, striking out the side in a perfect 13-pitch inning.
Impact McGee isn't eligible to return from the 15-day injured list until May 26, so he could make one or two more rehab appearances over the next week before being activated. Though he looked sharp Wednesday in his first appearance in more than a week, McGee will likely have to settle for a setup role upon his return to the Giants after a string of poor outings prior to landing on the IL. Meanwhile, Camilo Doval has seemingly gained more job security as the Giants' closer after posting an 0.61 ERA while converting all seven of his save chances in 14 appearances since getting lit up for three earned runs and blowing a save Opening Day.

Placed on injured list McGee was placed on the 15-day injured list with lower-back tightness Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact McGee has struggled since the start of May, as he allowed 10 runs (nine earned) while striking out three in 3.2 innings over his last four appearances. McGee hadn't picked up a save since April 20, but the southpaw's placement on the IL should lead to more ninth-inning opportunities for Camilo Doval.

Shaky in non-save situation McGee allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits while striking out two in one inning during Monday's win over the Rockies.
Impact McGee was fortunate to enter the game with a six-run cushion, as he was ineffective in his inning of work. The southpaw's last save came nearly three weeks ago -- April 20 versus the Mets. Since then, he's surrendered 10 runs (nine earned) in 4.2 innings. His struggles lately have bloated his ratios to a 9.64 ERA and 1.93 WHIP in 9.1 innings overall. Camilo Doval seems likely to continue getting most of the save opportunities.

Blows save, earns win McGee (1-1) allowed one run on one hit in one inning, taking a blown save but earning the win Monday versus the Brewers.
Impact McGee allowed the game-tying solo home run to Willy Adames in the eighth inning. He then ended up in line for the win after Luis Gonzalez restored the Giants' lead with a two-run blast in the ninth. This was McGee's first homer surrendered this season, and he's allowed only two runs on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 5.2 innings. The veteran southpaw has added two saves and one hold as he continues to see high-leverage work as part of the Giants' closer committee. Camilo Doval pitched a perfect ninth inning to lock down his fourth save of the season.

Notches second save McGee earned a save against the Mets on Wednesday, walking one and striking out one over a scoreless inning.
Impact McGee entered in the ninth inning with the Giants staked to a three-run lead and inauspiciously walked the first batter he faced. However, he recovered from there, retiring the next three hitters to close out the contest. This was his second save in the past five days after Camilo Doval racked up a pair of saves last week. For the time being, it looks like both relievers will be given opportunities to close.

Picks up first save of season McGee earned the save Saturday against the Guardians after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one.
Impact McGee pitched in the ninth inning for the first time this season and while he got the job done, it wasn't easy. Needing to protect a two-run lead, McGee gave up a single to Josh Naylor and walked Owen Miller before finding himself with runners on the corners and just one out. However, he struck out Oscar Mercado and retired Myles Straw on a groundout to record his first save of the campaign. While McGee was expected to be the leading alternative on what seems to be a committee-based approach for closing duties, the Giants have been mixing and matching relievers -- meaning McGee's upside should be the one of a late-inning option rather than the one of a true closer.

Handed loss Saturday McGee (0-1) allowed a run on two hits in two-thirds of an innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Marlins.
Impact McGee entered the game in the seventh inning of a low-scoring game. He allowed a go-ahead RBI single to Jesus Sanchez, and McGee didn't finish the inning, with Camilo Doval escaping trouble instead. Through two appearances, McGee has logged a hold and a loss -- he's yet to pitch in the ninth inning despite being designated as the head of the Giants' closer committee. Manager Gabe Kapler is likely to continue mixing and matching relievers to specific matchups rather than utilizing defined roles, so McGee is more of a late-inning option than a true closer.

Impact Kapler went on to say that the Giants don't need to identify firm bullpen roles, mentioning Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval as other candidates for saves this season. It sounds like this will be a committee, with McGee leading the way in projected opportunities, although the situation is obviously fluid.
