Beck allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers.
Beck put together a strong outing against a tough opponent, limiting the damage to a Mookie Betts RBI single in the fifth inning. This was just the third start of the year for Beck, who often worked as a piggyback option or a long reliever in his first big-league campaign. The rookie ends the season with a 3.92 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 68:21 K:BB as well as a 3-3 record, two saves, two holds and a blown save over 33 appearances spanning 85 innings. The right-hander should enter 2024 with a chance to win a spot in the Giants' rotation.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Scheduled to start Saturday
Rotowire
Beck is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The 27-year-old right-hander should be in line for a traditional start after he had been operating in a piggyback or bulk-relief role for much of his various stints with the big club this season. Beck owns a 4.05 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB through his first 80 major-league innings this season with San Francisco.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Decent in bulk role
Rotowire
Beck allowed two runs on four hits and struck out three over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Sunday.
Beck handled bulk-relief duties behind opener Ryan Walker in this contest. This was Beck's third outing in September, and he's allowed 10 runs (eight earned) over 8.1 innings in that span. Overall, he's maintained a 4.05 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB through 80 innings across 32 appearances (two starts). Assuming Beck stays in the majors to close out the year, he'd likely be available for one more appearance in the final series of the season at home against the Dodgers.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.
Beck had been struggling badly in a swingman role just prior to his Sept. 4 demotion, but he holds a decent 4.04 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 62:20 K:BB in 75.2 overall major-league innings this year. The right-hander will return in long relief ahead of Thursday's series opener at Dodger Stadium.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
San Francisco optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Beck had been lit up for 11 runs -- nine earned -- over his last 8.1 innings (two starts, one relief appearance) with the Giants. John Brebbia (lat) is returning from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Hit hard by Padres
Rotowire
Beck (3-3) allowed six runs on nine hits while failing to record a strikeout or walk over 2.2 innings as he took the loss Friday versus the Padres.
This was Beck's second straight start, but he didn't fare very well. The Padres tagged him for two home runs in the first inning and piled on the offense over the next two frames before Alex Wood was brought in to mop up. Entering Friday, it seemed Beck had secured a spot in the Giants' ever-evolving rotation, but his role may be in doubt after such a lackluster performance. He's at a 4.12 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 62:19 K:BB through 74.1 innings across 30 appearances this season. If he sticks as a starter, he could be an option for a road outing versus the Cubs next week.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Starting again Friday
Rotowire
Beck will start Friday's game versus the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beck will be getting his second start in a row after he gave up three runs over 4.1 innings versus Atlanta on Sunday. The right-hander has often been available out of the bullpen this season, but the Giants could be shifting the way they manage their pitchers, with Beck taking over a rotation spot. While he'll be starting Friday, Beck has gone more than five innings just twice in 29 appearances this season, so it's still likely he won't qualify for the win.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Yields three runs
Rotowire
Beck allowed three runs on three hits and a walk over 4.1 innings in Sunday's win over Atlanta. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
Beck cruised through four scoreless frames before Atlanta put three runs on the board in the fifth inning. It was his longest outing since tossing 5.1 innings against Washington on May 10. He's registered a 5.03 ERA in 19.2 frames since the start of August. For the season, Beck owns a 3.52 ERA with a 62:19 K:BB.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Gets starting nod Sunday
Rotowire
Beck will serve as the Giants' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Beck will be picking up his first MLB start Sunday, but he may not be able to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win. After making a one-inning relief appearance Wednesday in Philadelphia, Beck will be taking the hill on three days' rest. Beck hasn't covered more than four innings in any of his relief outings with the Giants since the start of June, turning in a 2.85 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB over 41 frames during that stretch.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Goes three innings Sunday
Rotowire
Beck allowed two hits and struck out three without walking a batter over three scoreless innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Sunday.
Beck ultimately functioned as the bulk reliever following shorter appearances from Jakob Junis and Alex Wood over the first three innings. Over six outings in August, Beck has allowed eight runs, 16 hits and three walks while striking out 13 over 14.1 innings. He'll continue to be in the mix for multi-inning assignments out of the bullpen, but it seems unlikely he'll start often down the stretch. Beck has a 3.39 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB through 66.1 innings over 27 outings this year.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Struggles versus Rays
Rotowire
Beck (3-2) allowed five runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Rays.
Beck took his turn as a bulk reliever Monday, but he couldn't continue the success of opener Ryan Walker, who started the game with two scoreless innings. Beck has lost his last two appearances, and he's at a 6.97 ERA over 10.1 innings across four outings in August. For the season, he has a 3.61 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 49:16 K:BB through 62.1 innings over 25 appearances while adding two saves and a hold, though his current role makes late-inning assignments unlikely. Beck will likely be available to pitch again this weekend in Atlanta, but the Giants' tendency to have as many as three rotation spots working behind openers makes it tough to pinpoint when he might next take the mound.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Falters in first loss
Rotowire
Beck (3-1) allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Angels.
Beck was called on with one on and no outs in the sixth inning, but he allowed three straight batters to reach base. A Mike Moustakas three-run home run at the end of that stretch put the Angels ahead for good, setting Beck up to take his first major-league loss. He's been effective in a long-relief role with a 3.03 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB through 59.1 innings over 24 appearances.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Earns win in bulk relief
Rotowire
Beck (3-0) earned the win in Thursday's 1-0 victory over the Diamondbacks. He allowed two hits without walking a batter while striking out three over four scoreless innings.
Beck turned in a solid bulk-relief outing, blanking the Arizona offense for four innings after Scott Alexander worked as the opener for San Francisco. The 27-year-old Beck, a rookie, has pitched well in his last six appearances for the big-league club, posting a sterling 0.60 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB across 11.1 innings during that span.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Collects win Sunday
Rotowire
Beck (2-0) earned the extra-innings win Sunday over the Red Sox, walking one and striking out three over two scoreless and hitless innings.
Beck was called up from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day to provide some length out of the bullpen with Anthony DeSclafani (elbow) landing on the injured list. Beck did his job well, working the 10th and 11th innings before Joc Pederson's bases-loaded walk forced in the winning run in the bottom of the 11th. Beck has a 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB through 52 innings over 21 appearances at the major-league level this year. His role is likely to be versatile while he's with the Giants, so he could have some chances to vulture wins if he gets middle-innings assignments.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Brought back from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
Though he'll be joining the 26-man active roster as a replacement for injured starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (elbow), Beck won't necessarily be the Giants' first choice to fill the opening in the rotation. After DeSclafani's injury kept him from pitching in Saturday's 3-2 win over Boston, Sean Manaea came on behind opener Ryan Walker to toss 4.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen, thus making Manaea the most logical candidate to enter the rotation when a fifth starter is next needed Thursday versus Arizona. Since Manaea won't be available for a few days, however, Beck will give the Giants some extra coverage in the bullpen in the meantime.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Giants optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
Beck has been solid out of the bullpen for the Giants this season with a 3.06 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through 50 innings, but he'll return to the minors to clear a spot on the roster for Anthony DeSclafani (shoulder). As long as Beck keeps performing as well as he has been, there's a good chance he returns to San Francisco later this summer.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Returns from thumb injury
Rotowire
Beck has pitched twice since recovering from a cut on his thumb, covering 4.1 scoreless innings while allowing four hits and two walks with two strikeouts.
Beck left his June 25 appearance versus the Diamondbacks with a cut on his thumb, but it was always expected to be a minor issue. He's been an effective long-relief option for the Giants this season, pitching to a 3.20 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB through 45 innings across 18 appearances. Beck could continue to work in bullpen games and whenever the Giants need a reliever to cover multiple frames.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Dealing with cut on thumb
Rotowire
Beck exited Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks due to a cut on his thumb, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Beck wasn't particularly sharp during Sunday's relief appearance, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out one in 2.1 innings. His injury likely contributed to his struggles, although it's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Goes four innings for save
Rotowire
Beck allowed three hits and a walk while striking out two over four shutout innings to earn the save in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.
This was a smooth outing with plenty of cushion for Beck, who helped the Giants spare their bullpen after they used eight pitchers in Friday's 11-inning contest. This is the second time Beck's gone three-plus innings to earn a save this season. He's been an effective long-relief option for San Francisco with a 3.31 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 30:6 K:BB over 35.1 innings in his first big-league season. He also has a win and a hold through 14 appearances.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Recalled from Sacramento
Rotowire
Beck was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento by the Giants on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beck will take the roster spot of Wilmer Flores after Flores was placed on the injured list with a foot bruise. In his previous appearance with the Giants, Beck allowed two runs -- one earned -- over 4.1 innings versus the Cubs on June 11. He'll be a multi-inning relief option while with the major-league club.
