Jake McGee News
The Washington Nationals have reportedly claimed left-handed reliever Jake McGee off waivers, according to a tweet from MLB.com's Jessica Camerato. McGee started the year with the San Francisco Giants and also spent time with the Milwaukee Brewers. All told, he's logged a 7.00 ERA, a 4.70 FIP and three saves in 27 innings of work this season. The veteran, who notched 31 saves for the Giants last season, will give the Nationals another late-inning option alongside the likes of Kyle Finnegan, Hunter Harvey and Victor Arano. Per Camerato's tweet, the Nationals designated outfielder Donovan Casey for assignment to make room for McGee on the active roster.
San Francisco Giants left-handed reliever Jake McGee was designated for assignment on Saturday. What a fall from grace for the Giant's former closer. After saving 31 games for the team last season, he has recorded just three in 2022 and has seen his role increasingly diminish throughout the season. His 7.17 ERA and 1.55 WHIP are reason enough for this move, but his underlying stats are somehow even worse, with McGee sporting an 8.27 xERA and 11.5% strikeout rate. As a lefty with a decent pedigree, he is sure to be picked up by someone, but he has next to no fantasy value anymore.
The San Francisco Giants placed relief pitcher Jake McGee (back) on the 15-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. In a corresponding move, the team activated third baseman Evan Longoria (finger) from the 10-day injured list and he is making his season debut on Wednesday. McGee is dealing with lower back tightness. The injury may explain the 35-year-old's struggles so far in May. Over 3.2 innings this month, he's allowed 11 hits and 10 runs (nine earned). McGee and Camilo Doval entered the year in a competition for saves, but Doval has pitched his way to the top of the team's closer hierarchy. Doval has converted 5-of-6 save opportunities while pitching to a 2.84 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. McGee, meanwhile, has gone 2-for-3 in save chances.
