Right-hander Jordan Hicks had a decent performance against the Twins, yet his season ERA remains high at 5.82, raising concerns about his spot in the rotation. Manager Bob Melvin supports Hicks, though he hints at a possible return to the bullpen. The rotation is competitive, with young arms like Landen Roupp currently occupying limited spots, while Hayden Birdsong and Kyle Harrison thrive in relief roles. Meanwhile, slugger Jerar Encarnacion is sidelined for the season due to injury, adding to the team's challenges.
While manager Bob Melvin noted the potential for Jordan Hicks to return to the bullpen, he emphasized that the Giants aren't considering this option at present.
Both Hayden Birdsong and Kyle Harrison have excelled in bullpen roles this season, but their starting potential remains untested with injuries needed to create opportunities.
