San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) will undergo surgery on his right ankle next week, according to Giants manager Gabe Kapler. The 32-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list with right ankle inflammation this past Friday and there were rumblings that surgery could be in play for him. The Giants haven't released any information in regards to his expected timeline, but he'll likely miss a good chunk of the remainder of the season, if not all of it. It's been a rough year for the veteran, who has made just five starts, pitching to a 9.95 ERA and a 2.05 WHIP.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) is going back on the injured list on Friday with right ankle inflammation. It's the same issue that cost DeSclafani two months already this season. Jason Vosler will now make the start on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. Skipper Gabe Kapler said "there's real concern" with DeSclafani's ankle and said that "everything is on the table" when asked about possible surgery. Jakob Junis will be an option soon for the Gigantes rotation, but until then, the team might have to go with a couple bullpen games. DeSclafani has an ugly 9.95 ERA (21 earned runs) in just 19 innings over five starts, and he was plastered for seven earned runs in just 2 2/3 innings in his last start on Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds. It's been a disappointing year after he went 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA in 31 starts for San Fran in 2021.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) is nearing a return to the majors. According to Giants manager Gabe Kapler, DeSclafani could be back on the mound for the team next week and he's particularly eyeing the team's game against the Atlanta Braves on June 21 for DeSclafani's next start. DeSclafani has been out since late April with right ankle inflammation. He made his second rehab start at Triple-A on Thursday and struggled in the outing, allowing four runs (three earned) across 2 2/3 innings. The 32-year-old only made three starts with the Giants before landing on the injured list this year. Over those three starts, he posted a 6.08 ERA and a 1.80 WHIP.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) is expected to make a minor league rehab start sometime this weekend, but manager Gabe Kapler has refused to speculate when he might rejoin the starting rotation. DeSclafani was 13-7 with a strong 3.17 ERA and two shutouts last year, but he was 0-1 with a 6.08 ERA in three starts in 2022 before going on the injured list. The 32-year-old right-hander can't come off the injured list until late June, but the team is hoping he'll be cleared after making two rehab starts. Despite his ugly numbers early this year, DeSclafani is worth holding in most fantasy formats with his return on the horizon.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday. He has been sidelined since late April due to right ankle inflammation. The 32-year-old only made three starts for the Giants before landing on the injured list. The organization is hopeful to get DeSclafani back in late June or early July. He'll likely need a few minor league rehab starts before the Giants feel comfortable bringing DeSclafani back to the rotation.

The San Francisco Giants transferred starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Monday. DeSclafani has been out since late April due to right ankle inflammation. Despite the fact that he's been throwing for almost two weeks, he now won't be able to return to the Giants starting rotation until late June. The Giants clearly don't want to rush the 32-year-old right-hander back too soon. DeSclafani had a career year in 2021 in his first season in San Francisco, posting a career-best 3.17 ERA and 1.09 WHIP while walking 42 and striking out 152 in his 31 starts covering 167 2/3 innings. He hasn't been nearly as good in his three starts before his injury this year, surrendering nine earned runs while walking two and striking out 13 in 13 1/3 innings, but his 3.78 FIP points to some early bad luck.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) will throw a bullpen session on Monday ahead of his team's game against the Colorado Rockies. DeSclafani has not pitched in a game since April 21 as he has been dealing with inflammation in his right ankle. The veteran right-hander is still without a timeline for a return to the mound but his ability to throw on Monday is a positive development. DeSclafani has a 0-1 record, 6.08 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, and 13 strikeouts over 13 1/3 innings of work.

On Monday, we received a few updates on the status of San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) courtesy of Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Slusser reported that DeSclafani visited an ankle specialist on Monday and that he had an MRI that revealed right ankle inflammation. The plan is for DeSclafani to resume throwing in a week and Slusser estimates that he will be sidelined for a few weeks in total. The Giants will have some holes in their starting rotation over the next few weeks as Alex Cobb (groin) is on the injured list as well. Sammy Long received a spot start on Monday and the team has yet to announce a starter for Wednesday's game.

The San Francisco Giants placed starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) on the 10-day injured list on Friday due to right ankle inflammation. The injury flared up for the 32-year-old during his start against the New York Mets on Thursday. The Giants called up fellow right-hander Jakob Junis to fill his roster spot. While it hasn't been announced yet, there's a good chance we'll see Junis start this coming Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics, the next game DeSclafani had been scheduled to start. DeSclafani has struggled out of the gate this year. Over three starts, he has a 6.08 ERA and a 1.80 WHIP.

The San Francisco Giants and starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani have come to an agreement on a three-year contract worth $36 million dollars. The 31-year-old right-hander enjoyed the best year of his career with the Giants in 2021, posting a 3.17 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 13 wins and 152 strikeouts in 167 2/3 innings across 31 starts. The move solidifies a Giants rotation that now includes Logan Webb and Alex Wood, with plenty of question marks beyond that. Desclafani will be on the fantasy radar heading into 2022, and the return to a favorable pitching park helps bolster his value.

According to MLB Network's Jon Heyman, the Tigers have interest in free-agent starter Anthony DeSclafani. The right-hander spent the 2021 season with the San Francisco Giants, pitching to a 3.17 ERA and a 3.62 FIP in 167 2/3 innings for the National League West franchise. He also struck out 152 batters while surrendering 42 walks. The Tigers could use reliable and effective veterans to slot in alongside Casey Mize, Tarik Skubaland Matt Manning in the rotation. DeSclafani would, speculatively speaking, certainly fit the bill.

San Francisco Giants starting pitchers Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood did not receive one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offers from the team on Sunday. The 31-year-old DeSclafani had a career season in San Francisco in 2021 after signing a one-year, $6 million deal. The right-hander had an excellent 3.17 ERA in his 31 starts while striking out 152 and walking 42 in 167 2/3 innings. Wood, a 30-year-old southpaw, also had a solid season with a 3.83 ERA over 26 starts while striking out 152 and walking 39 in 138 2/3 innings for the Gigantes. Wood signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Giants before last season, so it's safe to say that San Francisco hit it out of the park with both DeSclafani and Wood in free agency last year.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani did not make it out of the second inning in Tuesday's NLDS Game 4 7-2 loss to the Dodgers. DeSclafani was given a very short leash in such a pivotal game, pitching just 1 2/3 innings and allowing two runs on five hits and no walks with two strikeouts. Behind from the start, manager Gabe Kapler decided to go to the bullpen early in an attempt to stay in the game. DeSclafani pitched well overall during the regular season, but struggled mightily against the Dodgers. This theme was on display during this game, and the Giants will now look ahead to a must-win Game 5 on Thursday.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani will get the nod in Tuesday's NLDS Game 4 against the Dodgers in a potential series-ending matchup. The 31-year-old had a great regular season for the Giants, compiling a 3.17 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 22.5% strikeout rate over 31 starts. He did struggle against the Dodgers this season however, posting a bloated 7.33 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in 27 innings pitched, but the Giants will hope that he can simply do enough to put them in a position to win the game and the series.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani lasted four innings against the Colorado Rockies Saturday, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk in four innings. He struck out three batters and did not factor into the decision in a 7-2 victory. Desclafani has now gone eight straight starts without giving up more than three earned runs, and he has only given up more than three earned runs three times in 30 starts this season. Desclafani is eminently reliable, and fantasy managers should feel safe using him in his final turn through the rotation.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani fell to 12-7 in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Braves. DeSclafani pitched 6 innings, allowing two runs on six hits (including a two-run home run) and no walks with six strikeouts. Despite the loss, he has pitched very well all season and now has a 3.23 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. His next start will be in Coors Field, but the Rockies are a good matchup. Fantasy managers could consider starting him given how well he has pitched.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani turned in a great start in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Padres. DeSclafani pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing one run on three hits and a walk with three strikeouts. The 31-year-old has been another successful Giants reclamation project this season, going 12-6 with a 3.24 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. His next start will be a tough one against the Braves at home, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to sit him if fantasy managers have other options, particularly in roto leagues. However, he has pitched well enough overall to not make him an awful start here if fantasy managers don't have other options.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani did not factor in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies. DeSclafani pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts. The 31-year-old has been a solid addition to the Giants' rotation this season overall, going 11-6 with a 3.33 ERA over 27 starts. His next start should come against the Padres at home. While a tough matchup on paper, the Padres have been middling at the plate over the past several weeks, making DeSclafani a decent start option for fantasy managers.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani will make the start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, according to manager Gabe Kapler. DeSclafani lasted just three innings during his most recent outing. He didn't exit due to injury, but was dealing with an ankle sprain prior to that outing. The right-hander will make an important start against the Dodgers in a key September matchup. This isn't a favorable DFS spot for DeSclafani, but he should remain an option in year long leagues.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani lasted just 3 innings in Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Braves. DeSclafani was activated from the injured list prior to Sunday's start after dealing with a right ankle sprain. He allowed three runs on six hits (including two home runs) and no walks with four strikeouts. He did exit the game alongside the trainer, but manager Gabe Kapler stated that the plan was to use Sammy Long in tandem with DeSclafani. The 31-year-old is now 11-6 with a 3.38 ERA. He is currently not listed as day-to-day, but fantasy managers should keep an eye out for further news. If DeSclafani does take his next turn in the rotation he will face the Dodgers, a team he has done very poorly against this season. Either way, fantasy managers may want to sit him.
