Luis Matos could have a newfound path to the Opening Day roster with Austin Slater suffering a setback in his recovery from elbow surgery.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater runs for a catch during practice of day six of spring training at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Monday, Feb. 19, 2024. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Signing a week before Opening Day, Blake Snell isn’t expected to start for the San Francisco Giants until at least their second series of the season. But each day, the club gets a better idea of when they will be able to slot the reigning National League Cy Young winner into their rotation.
After a bullpen session of about 30 pitches went well Thursday, Snell is scheduled to pitch in an intrasquad game Sunday, manager Bob Melvin said.Melvin didn’t share any additional details, but the camp game will be the most live action Snell has faced since last season. He has been facing hitters at a training site arranged by his agent, Scott Boras, throwing up to 65 pitches over four innings his final session before signing, but it’s impossible to replicate live game reps.
Logan Webb, of course, will get the nod Thursday for Opening Day, followed by Kyle Harrison, and then Jordan Hicks. They could face a San Diego rotation of Joe Musgrove, Yu Darvish and Dylan Cease.The group of outfielders that breaks camp with the Giants could look different than was expected as recently as this week.
