Baragar allowed one run on three hits and one walk with two strikeouts over three innings, picking up the save in Saturday's 15-4 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar entered the game with the Giants leading 12-3 and got the last nine outs to record his second save of the season. Saturday also marked a career high in innings pitched for the southpaw. After a tough outing against the Rockies on Monday that saw Baragar give up two earned runs in two-thirds of an inning, this should give the 27-year-old some confidence.

Baragar was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar has a 0.49 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB over 18.1 big-league frames this season and has been at Triple-A since mid-July. The left-hander should fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen for the Giants.

Baragar was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar failed to make an appearance since being called up July 11. His demotion, along with Chadwich Tromp's, makes room for the return of Buster Posey (thumb) from the 10-day IL and Kevin Gausman from the Family Medical Emergency List.

The Giants recalled Baragar from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty posted a 0.49 ERA in 18.1 innings with the Giants before being optioned June 13. Baragar's numbers at Triple-A have been much less impressive, though, as he has a 9.45 ERA in 6.2 innings at that level. Tyler Beede, who pitched Saturday and wouldn't have been available for the final game before the break, was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Giants optioned Baragar to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he was brought back from the injured list Friday and ended up picking up a save in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, Baragar ultimately won't stick around in the San Francisco bullpen. The 27-year-old lefty maintains a tidy 0.49 ERA in 22 appearances this season, but his other ratios (1.36 WHIP, 6.9 K/9, 5.4 BB/9) paint a less rosy picture of his performance.

Baragar picked up the save in a 2-1 win over the Nationals in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing an unearned run on one hit in one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar came on for the eighth inning as the seventh San Francisco pitcher to protect a 2-0 lead and immediately surrendered an RBI double to bring the winning run to the plate. Fortunately, he was able to induce a double play after hitting Victor Robles and forced Trea Turner to pop out for the final out of the game and his first career save. The lefty has impressed with only a single earned run allowed in 18.1 innings this year for a sterling 0.49 ERA though a 3.61 FIP indicates a portion of that has been luck.

Baragar (elbow) was activated off the 10-day injured list Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar will wind up missing only slightly more than the minimum with elbow inflammation. He recorded a stellar 0.52 ERA in 17.1 innings prior to the injury, but his 14:11 K:BB and 19.1 percent groundball rate don't come close to backing that number up. Thairo Estrada was optioned in a corresponding move.

Baragar (elbow) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old resumed throwing over the weekend and is nearing his return from the injured list. Baragar landed on the shelf with left elbow inflammation in late May, so he shouldn't require more than a couple appearances in the minors before being cleared to rejoin the Giants.

Baragar (elbow) threw long toss prior to Friday's game against the Cubs, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar landed on the 10-day injured list on May 30 with elbow inflammation. The fact that he's already able to throw long toss figures to be a positive development as far as a return timeline is concerned. No official timetable for a return to the Giants' bullpen has been established at this point, but the left-hander being activated when eligible June 8 doesn't seem to be out of the question. Baragar has posted a stellar 0.52 ERA to go along with a 14:11 K:BB across 17.1 innings this season.

Baragar was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with left elbow inflammation. The move is retroactive to May 29.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old apparently suffered the injury when he last pitched Friday and delivered 1.1 scoreless frames. Baragar has a 0.52 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB over 17.1 innings for the Giants this season, and it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.
