He allowed two inherited runners to score and then surrendered a game-tying two-run double to Jacob Stallings. Doval has plenty of power in his arm, but the control isn't there yet.

He's at a 6.75 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB with five holds and two blown saves in 11 outings.

Doval struck out two batters and pitched a perfect seventh inning to earn a hold in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Doval made his major-league debut Sunday. The hard-throwing right-hander struck out Jesus Aguilar on three pitches, then got Garrett Cooper to ground out before fanning Adam Duvall. The 23-year-old Doval spent the bulk of 2019 at High-A San Jose, where he had a 3.83 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 80:34 K:BB across 56.1 innings, all as a reliever. His fastball registered as high as 98 mph Sunday -- if he can show strong command, he may stick around the big club for a while.

Doval was recalled by the Giants on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Doval has yet to pitch above High-A, but he's produced strong numbers in the lower minors, recording a 3.31 ERA and a 33.7 percent strikeout rate in 163.1 innings of relief. He'll likely be used in low-leverage situations due to his lack of upper-minors experience. Johnny Cueto (lat) landed in the injured list in a corresponding move.

The Giants optioned Doval to their minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Doval has yet to pitch above the High-A level, so he likely wasn't a serious candidate to break camp with the Giants. After losing a year of development time due to the cancellation of the 2020 minor-league season, Doval will likely begin the upcoming campaign at Double-A Richmond.

Doval's contract was purchased by the Giants on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

A 23-year-old relief pitching prospect, Doval spent 2019 at High-A and was at the alternate training site this past summer. He misses a lot of bats but needs to refine his command. It's possible he could debut in the majors in the second half of 2021 or in early 2022.
