Gets nod in home opener Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Samardzija will start Tuesday's game against the Padres in San Francisco, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The Giants' rotation plans have been difficult to figure out on a day-to-day basis so far this season, but Kapler at least offered some clarity for the first two games of the three-game set versus San Diego. After going unused during the four-game series with the Dodgers last week, Samardzija will step in for his season debut in the Giants' home opener, while Johnny Cueto gets the nod in Wednesday's contest. Over his 53 career outings at Oracle Park, Samardzija owns a 3.85 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 7.9 K/9.

Likely primary pitcher Friday Samardzija will likely serve as the primary pitcher Friday against the Dodgers, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Although Samardzija should serve as the No. 2 starter this season, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Tyler Anderson will serve as the opener Friday, with Samardzija likely coming in as the primary pitcher. Whether the pairing will become a frequent occurrence remains to be seen. Samardzija posted a 3.52 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 32 starts with the Giants last season.

Serving as opener Saturday Anderson will serve as the Giants' opener Saturday against the Dodgers, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Jeff Samardzija was expected to get the start in Saturday's contest, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Anderson will start with Samardzija serving as the primary pitcher. Anderson underwent knee surgery last June, but the delayed start to the season allowed him to fully recover for the 2020 campaign. The southpaw struggled with the Rockies prior to his injury in 2019, logging an 11.76 ERA and 2.13 WHIP over 20.2 innings across five starts.
