The Giants recalled Tristan Beck as the corresponding roster move for Verlander. Kyle Harrison will start tomorrow in Verlander’s place.

ā€œReady to do it. I’ve been waiting and now it’s my time. I’m ready to go.ā€ Kyle Harrison, feeling fully rebounded from an injury domino effect last year, will get to start twice in Verlander's place. He's looking forward to the opportunity. sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/…

The Giants beat the Nationals, 4-0. Against LHP MacKenzie Gore, they knew they'd need to get to the Nats bullpen to do any damage. Roupp pitched six scoreless and the bullpen took it to the finish line. Now they're 5-12 when a lefty starts.

ā€œIf you don’t go through something like what we’re going through right now, you don’t have a full season." The Giants offense is going through it. Willy Adames is going through it. Here's more on a Memorial Day loss: sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/…

Justin Verlander threw a 40-ish pitch bullpen today and said all went well and he’s ā€œtrending forward.ā€ Says there are a couple more boxes to check before he can determine if he’ll start after the IL stint.

The San Francisco Giants entered the season expecting to manufacture runs, not outslug opponents. But after a fast start stealing bases, they’re now tied for last place for swiped bags. trib.al/NquOH2X

The Giants’ offensive woes showed no signs of abating Tuesday night as San Francisco didn’t score until the ninth inning in a 3-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers.Ā  trib.al/rfc07vg

With Ryan Walker struggling and Camilo Doval having regained his lights-out form, the San Francisco Giants have swapped their roles. trib.al/kr4uj1R

Christian Koss making SF roster is just his latest unlikely feat - and the biggest might be in his personal life. Much more on the whippet-thin (and once tiny) infielder who grew up a massive Giants fan in Riverside and has Ninja Turtle and Lorax tattoos sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/…
