Jake McGee Stats

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee took his second loss of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Rangers. McGee entered to pitch the bottom of the 11th inning with the game tied and an automatic runner on second. He got the first two batters out, intentionally walked Isiah Kiner-Falefa, then gave up a game-ending RBI single to Brock Holt. McGee's fantasy value has taken a hit since the beginning of the season, as he has ceded his closer status to Tyler Rogers for the most part. He has pitched better lately, lowering his season ERA to 3.76, but his fantasy value will remain limited as long as he does not see save situations.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee picked up his 12th save of the season in ugly fashion in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers. McGee, who had not seen a save opportunity in several games, entered the ninth inning up by three. Cody Bellinger reached first on a throwing error made by McGee to start the inning. He got a strikeout next, but then allowed a two-run home run to Albert Pujols to make the score 5-4. He then got the next two hitters out with another strikeout to seal the deal. McGee has now converted 12 of 14 save opportunities but has a mediocre 4.37 ERA on the season. Both of the Giants high-leverage relievers in Tyler Rogers and McGee have been inconsistent lately, so it would not be surprisingly to see a true committee approach from the Giants until one of them can provide consistent results at the end of games. This means that both carry fantasy value, but not nearly as much as they would if one had the clear closer role.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee pitched a 1-2-3- eighth inning with no strikeouts in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks, earning his second hold of the season. McGee had started the season as the team's closer and had done a nice job, but several bumpy outings have led to him not seeing save opportunities as frequently. He now has a 4.35 ERA and has converted 11 of 13 save opportunities. McGee has not completely lost his fantasy value given that he will likely still be used in high-leverage situations and could still see save opportunities, but he no longer appears to be the surefire closer with Tyler Rogers pitching so well.
