38 Tyler Beede SP

Beede was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Beede will head back to the minors after going unused in his lone game with the big club. He'll likely rejoin the River Cats' starting rotation, where he owns a 6.23 ERA across seven starts and one relief appearance (39 innings).

Beede was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Beede will take the roster spot of Jeff Samardzija (shoulder), who was sent to the disabled list in a corresponding roster move. The 25-year-old has struggled in a pair of starts for the big club this season, allowing seven runs on nine hits and eight walks across 7.2 innings. He'll likely work in long relief during his time with the Giants, though he could be an option to make a spot start in place of Samardzija as well.

Beede will head to Triple-A Sacramento following Sunday's matchup with the Padres, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Beede allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six across 3.2 innings Sunday as he took the loss against San Diego. After making two starts for the Giants, he'll be sent down to Triple-A -- Jeff Samardzija is expected to be ready for his regular season debut the next time through the rotation, which prompted the move.

Beede went four innings in his major-league debut Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on three hits, walking five and striking out three while picking up a no-decision in San Francisco's 5-4 win over Arizona.

With the Giants in need of a starter due to an ankle injury to Johnny Cueto, Beede was called up from Triple-A and got the nod against Arizona. While he limited the Diamondbacks' potent offense to two runs, he exited the contest after throwing 87 pitches through just four innings and issuing five walks. It wasn't a disastrous debut and he's supposed to see one more start on Sunday, but Beede is probably going back to the minors when Jeff Samardzija returns from the disabled list.

Updating a previous report, Beede will start Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks after being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Beede was previously scheduled to take the hill for Wednesday's series finale, when the Giants would first require a fifth starter this season, but manager Bruce Bochy decided after Monday's loss to move the 24-year-old right-hander up a day in the pitching schedule. Bochy noted that the change was more about setting the rotation up for the next 10 days as the Giants prepare for Jeff Samardzija's (pectoral) return from the disabled list April 19 in Arizona. Now that he's set to go Tuesday, Beede will line up for a two-start week, with his second turn set to come Sunday in San Diego. Beede will likely be optioned back to Sacramento following that second start with Samardzija on pace to fill the rotation vacancy next week.
