38 Tyler Beede SP

Beede (elbow) played catch Monday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Beede has a long road ahead of him, but it's certainly a positive to see him take the first step. He underwent the procedure back in March, so a typical recovery timeline would see him able to return to game action sometime around the midpoint of the 2021 campaign.

The Giants placed Beede (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

The transaction is merely procedural, as Beede has already been ruled out for the 2020 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March. His move to the 60-day IL opens up an extra spot on the 40-man roster for the Giants.

Beede (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Beede was diagnosed with a flexor strain and a UCL sprain in his throwing elbow during spring training, and his second opinion that he received Monday revealed that the injury will require Tommy John surgery. After recording a 5.08 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in nearly a full season of major-league work last season, Beede will now face a recovery timeline that will keep him sidelined for all of 2020 and likely part of the 2021 season.

Beede will receive a second opinion on his elbow from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Beede was diagnosed with both a flexor strain and a UCL strain in his right elbow Tuesday. He appears to be lined up for a lengthy absence, and his path forward should become clearer after Monday's visit. Dr. ElAttrache's name is nearly as synonymous with Tommy John surgery as that of fellow doctor James Andrews, though it's not yet clear if that procedure will be necessary.

Beede's MRI on Tuesday revealed both a flexor strain and a UCL sprain in his right elbow, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants will have more information involving a timetable for Beede's return later this week. Although elbow injuries are very problematic for pitchers, the fact that the 26-year-old avoided any tears or structural damage to his right elbow is encouraging. If Beede is forced to miss an extended period of time to begin the regular season, Logan Webb and Tyson Ross are primary candidates to fill the No. 5 spot in San Francisco's starting rotation.

Beede felt some elbow tightness after pitching the fourth inning during Tuesday's Cactus League loss against the Rangers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Beede is scheduled to undergo tests on his right elbow Tuesday evening. The 26-year-old threw one scoreless inning after allowing a leadoff single and recording one strikeout and one walk. Beede is currently battling to retain his No. 5 spot in the Giants' starting rotation and can ill afford to miss a significant portion of spring training.

Beede's MRI on Friday revealed a mild oblique strain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Beede suffered the injury during Thursday's matchup in his last start of 2019 against Colorado, though he managed to avoid a significant injury. He'll likely need a few weeks to recover, setting the table for a regular offseason and spring training.

Beede will undergo an MRI on his left oblique after leaving Thursday's game against the Rockies, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Beede cruised through 3.1 perfect innings Thursday, but he was lifted after suffering an injury. Regardless of what the MRI reveals, he appears to be done for the season with only a few games remaining.

Beede was removed from Thursday's game against the Rockies with an apparent injury, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Prior to exiting, Beede had struck out seven across 3.1 perfect innings.

Beede was dialed in before he was forced out of the game with one out in the fourth inning. It's not yet known why he was removed. Burch Smith took over for the right-hander, who will finish the season with a 5.08 ERA and 113 strikeouts in 117 innings.

Beede (5-10) took the loss Friday, surrendering six runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings while striking out five as the Giants fell 6-0 to Atlanta.

The right-hander was taken deep by Ronald Acuna in the fifth inning and Brian McCann in the sixth to put the game out of reach, although Beede had no margin for error with the Giants only scratching out four hits on the night. He'll make one more start in 2019, carrying a 5.23 ERA and 106:46 K:BB through 113.2 innings into Thursday's home outing against the Rockies.

Beede (5-9) allowed only three hits and a walk over 6.1 scoreless innings to earn the win in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Marlins. He struck out five batters.

Beede has now delivered two consecutive scoreless starts after tossing five shutout innings versus the Dodgers on Sept 7. This was also Beede's longest outing since he posted zeroes for eight innings July 19 versus the Mets. The right-hander has a 5.02 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 107.2 innings this year. He's projected to take on the Red Sox on Thursday.

Beede (4-9) pitched five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out five to earn the victory in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Dodgers.

Beede didn't get much run support, but he didn't need any, and the Giants' bullpen allowed only two baserunners over the final four innings of the game. The scoreless outing lowers the right-hander's ERA to 5.33 with a 1.58 WHIP and 96:43 K:BB in 101.1 innings. Beede is projected to start versus the Pirates on Thursday.

Beede (3-9) gave up three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two through four innings to take the loss against the Cardinals on Monday.

Beede started slow out of the gate, allowing three hits, a walk and two runs in the first inning and settled down afterwards, but he was still only able to make it through four innings. Beede continues to struggle, only pitching six innings in one start since July 19. The right-hander has a 5.61 ERA and 91 strikeouts through 18 starts this season. Beede is scheduled to make his next start Saturday at Dodger Stadium.

Beede won't start Sunday as previously scheduled and will instead take the mound Monday at St. Louis, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Beede lined up to face the Padres in Sunday's series finale, but he'll trade places in the starting rotation with Jeff Samardzija and be pushed back one day. Beede is 0-5 with a 5.71 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB in his previous eight starts, but he'll look to build on his last outing, when he allowed one earned run over 5.2 innings.

Beede (3-8) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Monday, giving up three runs (one earned) on six hits over 5.2 innings, striking out four and walking none in a 6-4 defeat for the Giants.

It was the best stat line for the 26-year-old since his eight-inning shutout of the Mets on July 19, but he still wound up taking his eighth loss of the season as an error by his defense led to a pair of unearned runs. It was a nice outing, but Beede has done little of fantasy relevance this season, as he's still sporting a bloated 5.56 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 92.1 innings.

Beede didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Cubs, giving up three runs on six hits -- including three home runs -- and three walks over four innings while striking out four.

Nic Castellanos and Anthony Rizzo both took him deep in the first inning, and then Rizzo did it again the next time he faced Beede in the third. That's nothing new for the right-hander, who's served up 20 homers in only 86.2 innings this year. He now has a 5.82 ERA and 1.63 WHIP, and it's not clear if the Giants will give him another chance in the rotation to turn things around.

Beede will stick in the rotation for Tuesday's start against the Cubs, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Manager Bruce Bochy said, "it's our job to get him over the hump." Beede has surrendered 22 earned runs in 23.1 innings over his last five starts. Shaun Anderson (blister) could bump Beede from the rotation if the righty's struggles continue.

Manager Bruce Bochy wouldn't commit to Beede making a start when his turn in the rotation comes during next week's series versus the Cubs, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "He's a guy we believe in, and we'll see where we're at five days from now," Bochy said Wednesday regarding Beede's rotation status.

Bochy made those comments after Beede was charged with four runs on eight hits over four innings to take the loss in the series finale with the Athletics. Beede turned in a pair of impressive outings coming out of the All-Star break but has been roughed up his subsequent five times out, going 0-4 with an 8.49 ERA and 2.01 WHIP in those contests. With off days coming up Aug. 19, 23 and 28, the Giants could opt to get by with a four-man rotation for the next two weeks rather than tabbing someone as a replacement for Beede.

Beede (3-7) took the loss Wednesday as the Giants were downed 9-5 by the A's, allowing four runs on eight hits over four-plus innings while striking out five.

The right-hander was given the hook after serving up a leadoff single to begin the fifth inning, having already tossed 80 pitches (50 strikes). Beede will carry a 5.77 ERA and 81:36 K:BB through 82.2 innings into his next start, which could come on the road Aug. 21 against the Cubs.

Beede did not factor into the decision during Friday's loss to the Phillies, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings.

Beede tied his season high of seven punchouts but struggled to prevent runs once again. The bulk of the damage against him came from a three-run triple by Corey Dickerson in the third inning and a solo home run by Bryce Harper in the fifth. The 26-year-old now owns a 5.61 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 76:36 K:BB and will search for his first win since July 14 during his next start at Arizona on Thursday.
