Landen Roupp and Mason Black followed Jordan Hicks against the A’s, while Kai-Wei Teng and Keaton Winn faced lived hitters beforehand.
San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin takes notes during the fifth inning of a spring training baseball game against the Oakland Athletics Saturday, March 9, 2024, in Scottsdale, Ariz. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Between back-to-back rainouts and a scheduled day off earlier in the week, Bob Melvin joked Saturday morning, “it feels a little bit like the All-Star break in the middle of spring.” But, at this point in camp, the Giants are more in need of evaluation time than leisure time.
While Jordan Hicks started, punching out six batters over three shutout innings, the free-agent newcomer is one of the few arms locked in to the Giants’ rotation, along with Logan Webb and Kyle Harrison. If Keaton Winn’s elbow checks out — more on that later — he figures to be the fourth in the equation.“Who steps up? Who balls out?” Hicks said, asking the pertinent questions. “Someone’s gonna do it. I know they are.
On Saturday, Roupp made his first appearance of the spring, relieving Black, while Teng enjoyed a milestone before first pitch. Slowed by an oblique strain to start camp, the Taiwanese righty threw about 25 pitches to Mike Yastrzemski, Michael Conforto and Yoshi Tsutsugo, the first live hitters he’s faced this spring.
Winn also threw live, moments before Teng, for the first time since he was shut down with soreness in his elbow.“It was just one day I woke up and it was a little more sore than normal,” he said. “I’m 100% healthy.”
