San Francisco Giants left-hander Blake Snell “seems to be progressing” from a left groin strain, manager Bob Melvin said
San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell works against the Philadelphia Phillies during the first inning of a baseball game in San Francisco, Monday, May 27, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin said left-hander Blake Snell looked good during his bullpen session Saturday morning but added that the club would wait to see how the two-time Cy Young Award winner responded before determining the next step.
“He’ll need to do something, whether it’s facing hitters or a simulated situation or one game, he’ll need to do something where he’s facing hitters in a game-like situation,” Melvin said. Snell, the reigning National League Cy Young winner, signed a two-year, $62 million contract with the Giants as a free agent on March 27. So far this season, though, he is 0-3 with a 9.51 ERA in six starts for San Francisco.Left-hander Kyle Harrison is slated to start Sunday’s series finale against the Angels and will be looking for his first win since May 18. In his last four starts, Harrison is 0-2 with a 4.84 ERA, although in that time, he has just three walks to go with 19 strikeouts.
Asked about Harrison’s maturity, Melvin said, “He’s pretty steadfast in what he wants to accomplish. Now you’re going to go through some highs and lows and some games are going to be efficient, some of them are not, but he’s trying to go out there every day and get deep in the game.Harrison threw just 77 pitches in 6 1/3 innings in his last start on Monday against the Astros, allowing just four hits and one earned run in a 4-3 Giants win.SF Giants strike early, stake claim to series vs.
