Secures eighth save McGee earned the save with a scoreless inning against San Diego on Friday. He walked one and struck out the side.

Impact McGee was coming off a disastrous outing in his previous appearance during which he gave up four runs, but he bounced back Friday with a scoreless frame to secure his eighth save. The left-hander has struggled of late -- he has a 10.80 ERA across his past seven outings -- but appears to still have control of the closer role for San Francisco. In his first season with the team, he has registered a 21:4 K:BB across his first 14 innings.

Implodes in nightcap McGee pitched two-thirds of an inning and allowed four runs on four hits with one strikeout in a loss in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus Colorado.

Impact McGee has only kept runs off the board once in his past six outings, allowing 10 runs (eight earned) in 5.2 innings in that span. McGee ultimately didn't take the loss, as Camilo Doval was the one to give up a walkoff two-run home run. Through 13 innings, McGee has a 5.54 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB. He remains 7-for-8 in save chances, but his recent struggles could force manager Gabe Kapler to turn to Tyler Rogers for closing duties in the near future.

Fans three in non-save situation McGee allowed two unearned runs on one hit and struck out three in one inning in Friday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.

Impact McGee entered the game with a four-run lead to start the ninth inning. Wilmer Flores committed a throwing error with two outs and McGee allowed Jesus Aguilar to blast a two-run home run. McGee then ended the threat by striking out Garrett Cooper. The unearned runs won't damage the Giants' closer's stat line, as he has a solid 2.38 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB across 12 appearances. He's gone 7-for-8 in save chances.

Strikes out side to earn save McGee clinched his seventh save of the season after striking out the side Thursday against the Marlins.

Impact McGee entered the game in the ninth with a three-run lead and didn't have problems closing things out, retiring Garrett Cooper, Jazz Chisholm and Miguel Rojas with just 16 pitches (12 strikes). The veteran left-hander has gone 7-for-8 in save opportunities this season and is firmly entrenched as the Giants' closer -- he owns a 2.61 ERA, a 0.87 WHIP and a 14:3 K:BB through 10.1 innings so far.

Allows home run in return McGee allowed one run on one hit and notched a strikeout in one inning in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Phillies.

Impact McGee entered the game in a non-save situation and allowed a solo shot to Rhys Hoskins. The 34-year-old McGee needed a couple of days to recover from side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine, but he should be good to resume his closer duties. He's racked up six saves in seven chances with a 2.89 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB across 9.1 innings this season.

Impact McGee was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Sunday while dealing with the side effects of the shot, but it doesn't look as though he'll miss more than two games. Tyler Rogers would ordinarily be the next man up if a save chance arises, but he's pitched on each of the last two days, so that job could go to any of a large number of similar players Monday.

Recovering from vaccine shot The Giants announced that McGee was placed on the injured list Sunday after he experienced some lingering effects from the second COVID-19 vaccine shot he received recently, Mark W...

Impact McGee received the shot in question late in the week, and the side effects he experienced from the vaccine may have played a factor in his substandard outing Saturday, when he blew a save against the Marlins while giving up two runs on four hits over one inning. The Giants are hopeful that McGee will only need a day or two to recover before he's back to feeling 100 percent, so fantasy managers should continue to hold him in the meantime. Even after Saturday's blowup, McGee has still been one of the top fantasy closers this season with a win, six saves and a 2.16 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over his nine outings.

Moves to IL The Giants placed McGee on the injured list Sunday due to an unspecified issue.

Impact McGee's move to the IL comes one day after he was charged with his first blown save of the season when he gave up two runs on four hits over a 35-pitch inning against the Marlins. Prior to the implosion, McGee had been one of baseball's most valuable closers through the first two weeks of the season with a win and six saves across his initial eight appearances. The fact that the Giants aren't listing McGee with a specific injury suggests his IL move could be related to COVID-19 protocols, but no information on his situation has emerged. In the meantime, the Giants are likely to turn to Tyler Rogers as their interim closer.

Melts down Saturday McGee allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over one inning in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Marlins. He was charged with a blown save.

Impact McGee's impeccable run of form to start the year came to a close Saturday, as the Marlins put together a ninth-inning rally against the Giants' closer. The 34-year-old southpaw saw his ERA balloon to 2.16 with a 0.96 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB across 8.1 innings this season. McGee is 6-for-7 in save chances so far, so this is likely just a minor hiccup in an otherwise solid run.
