Giants Pitching Crisis Deepens | San Francisco Giants News

Giants rookie pitcher Trevor McDonald exits his start against the Royals with elbow discomfort, forcing the team to scramble for rotation options as they prepare for the trade deadline. With McDonald sidelined for tests, veteran reliever Adrian Houser — recently moved to the bullpen — emerges as a potential starter, despite a 5.10 ERA and recent shaky outings. Houser’s last strong start came against the Blue Jays, and while he’d likely be limited to 2-3 innings initially, his availability could be crucial. The Giants’ pitching woes deepen, and quick, smart moves may be their only shot to stay competitive. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
