• RHP Anthony DeSclafani placed on the 15-day IL (retroactive to June 28)
• IF Jason Vosler recalled from Triple-A Sacramento
DeSclafani's last start came on Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds. He lasted just 2.2 innings, allowing seven earned runs off seven hits in a 10-3 loss.
In five starts this season for the Giants, DeSclafani has made it through the fifth inning just once.
DeSclafani has an 0-2 record with a 9.95 ERA in 19 innings.
The 32-year-old is coming off arguably the best season of his eight-year career. In 2021, DeSclafani started 31 games, finishing 13-7 with an ERA of 3.17.
DeSclafani heads to the IL for the second time this season; he missed time in April and June dealing with inflammation in his right ankle.
On Friday, Giants' manager Gabe Kapler said "there's real concern" about the injury and wouldn't rule out surgery for DeSclafani, stating "everything is on the table."
Gabe Kapler said “there’s real concern” with Anthony DeSclafani’s ankle. Asked about surgery, he said “everything is on the table.” Jakob Junis will be an option soon, but may be a couple bullpen games first.
