Giants activate Logan Webb and Jung Hoo Lee, place Tyler Mahle on IL
· Yahoo Sports
As expected, the San Francisco Giants made a handful of moves on Friday, as they return from the off day to kick off a 10-game road strip, which starts a stretch of 13 games in as many days. We’d known for a few days that All-Star pitcher Logan Webb would be returning on Friday as the Giants face the Colorado Rockies, but the corresponding move was not known, and it’s a tiny bit surprising: fellow right-handed starter Tyler Mahle has been placed on the 15-Day Injured List with with a hamstring strain. Mahle’s IL stint is retroactive to May 27.
Mahle has been struggling all season, and has a 6.04 ERA, a 4.85 FIP, and an MLB-worst seven losses in just 11 starts. He’s looked nothing like the player who had a 2.18 ERA and a 3.37 FIP for the Texas Rangers a year ago, before coming to the Giants on a one-year deal that featured not just $10 million, but a very loud stamp of approval from Bruce Bochy.

With Trevor McDonald pitching very well while filling in for Webb, the Giants had a decision to make about their rotation. And while it seemed like a distinct possibility that they would make the decision to move Mahle to the bullpen, they instead kicked the decision down the road a bit by placing him on the IL. Now he can take his time getting fully healthy, make a few rehab appearances in AAA, and the Giants can reassess in a few weeks.
San Francisco also made a move on the position player side, by activating right fielder Jung Hoo Lee from the 10-Day IL, and optioning Will Brennan to Sacramento. This was the first day that Lee was eligible to come off the IL, which certainly suggests his injury was quite minor. Like Webb, Lee is slotting straight into the starting lineup at Coors Field, and will bat sixth. Brennan will head back to AAA where he’ll stay on call as emergency outfield depth.
