Jake McGee Stats

The San Francisco Giants activated closer Jake McGee (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. McGee has pitched to a 2.72 ERA, a 3.35 FIP, and 58 strikeouts in 59.2 innings this season. He's also walked 10 batters while securing 31 of 39 saves. Camilo Doval was getting save opportunities while McGee was on the injured list, but he figures to move back into a setup role for the season's final games. The Giants wrap up the regular season against a San Diego Padres team that had lost 12 of 13 entering play on Saturday, so there might be a save opportunity remaining for fantasy managers with McGee on their rosters.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee (oblique) is scheduled to throw off a mound on Wednesday. This will be the reliever's first mound work since landing on the injured list with an oblique strain on September 17. If the throwing session goes well, he could have a chance to return before the end of the regular season. McGee leads the Giants with 31 saves on the year. Tyler Rogers and Dominic Leone have recorded a save each since McGee landed on the injured list. Rogers should be viewed as the team's primary closer for the remainder of the regular season.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee picked up his 30th save of the season in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies. McGee entered the game in the ninth inning with a three-run lead and pitched a 1-2-3 inning with no strikeouts. The veteran has played a huge role for the Giants this season and has provided a good deal of fantasy value, converting all but five save opportunities with a 2.76 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP. He should continue to stick in fantasy managers' lineups at all times, given that he has served as the primary closer for the best team in baseball so far this season.
