Stratton allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and five walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in Tuesday's extra-innings win over the Padres. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Stratton struggled with command, issuing a season-high five free passes and needing 102 pitches (59 strikes) without getting out of the fifth inning. The 28-year-old would be able to start on full rest against the Dodgers in Sunday's season finale, but with a scheduled off day for the club Thursday, Stratton's spot in the rotation won't come up again barring any changes. He'll wrap up the 2018 campaign with a 10-10 record, 4.85 ERA and 111:52 K:BB over 143 innings.

Stratton (10-10) took the loss Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Stratton wasn't fooling San Diego hitters, inducing just three swinging strikes, and he was saddled with his third loss in four starts. All of the damage came in a five-run second inning, as the 28-year-old allowed a home run, four singles and a walk in the frame and now sees his ERA sit at 4.88. He'll look to rebound Tuesday in a rematch against the Padres in what could be his final start of the season.

Stratton (9-8) pitched six innings Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits in the 4-1 loss to the Mets. He struck out two and yielded a home run while taking the loss.

EDGE Analysis

Stratton was pretty solid all afternoon, with the only damage against him coming from a two-run homer by Michael Conforto. Unfortunately for Stratton, Noah Syndergaard was lights-out and gave the Giants little chance to provide run support. He'll carry a 4.90 ERA into his start in Milwaukee on Saturday.

Stratton (9-7) tossed eight shutout innings Monday to earn the win over the Diamondbacks, allowing five hits with no walks and six strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Stratton allowed just two men past first base and retired the final 10 batters he faced to earn his first win in over two months. He threw 67 percent of his pitches for strikes and induced 10 groundball outs in this gem of an outing. Stratton was in the minor leagues as recently as the start of the month, but he's delivered a pair of quality starts while allowing just two earned runs over 14.1 innings since returning to the big league club. He'll look to continue his recent resurgence this weekend against the Mets.

Stratton was called up from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his start against the Mets on Tuesday, John Shea of the San Fransisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stratton has appeared in 20 games (19 starts) for the Giants this year, logging a 5.52 ERA and 1.55 WHIP with 79 strikeouts in 101 innings. But only two of those appearances have come since the All-Star break, as he's spent most of his time at the Triple-A level over the past month. It remains to be seen whether Stratton will stay in the rotation for a few turns following Tuesday's start, as he would be in line for an outing against the Rangers this weekend.

Stratton was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Stratton earned his demotion after allowing six runs on 10 hits in just three innings Friday against Arizona. After getting some offseason buzz as a potential fantasy sleeper, the 27-year-old has struggled to a 5.52 ERA. The move could suggest that Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) is nearing a return from the disabled list, as the Giants called up two relievers (Pierce Johnson and Derek Law) Saturday but no starter.

Stratton (8-7) allowed six runs on 10 hits in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday, striking out four and walking four in three innings.

EDGE Analysis

Stratton gave up a five-spot in the first inning and was lifted with no outs in the fourth inning as he just couldn't keep Arizona off the base paths. Stratton has had some rough starts of late, giving up 19 runs in 12.2 innings across three starts. His ERA now sits at 5.52 on the season while opponents are hitting .291 off him. He'll look to get back on track in his next start against the Pirates at home.

Stratton will rejoin the Giants rotation and start Friday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Stratton opened the season with a rotation spot before being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in early July after posting a 4.93 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 18 starts. The Giants recalled Stratton last week and initially planned to deploy him in relief, but the 27-year-old will rejoin the starting staff after Johnny Cueto (elbow) underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery. Given his mediocre results prior to being demoted to Triple-A, Stratton may be on a short leash in his second trial as a starter.

Manager Bruce Bochy indicated Stratton may start Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants don't need an additional starter -- even with Johnny Cueto (elbow) back on the disabled list -- due to Wednesday's off day, but Bochy would like to give the rest of the rotation an additional day of rest. Stratton should remain in the starting rotation for the near future with Cueto a candidate for Tommy John surgery and Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) yet to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment.

The Giants recalled Stratton from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stratton will rejoin the big club after spending nearly three weeks at the Triple-A level. He started all 18 games he appeared in with the big club earlier this season, but he appears ticketed for a bullpen role for now.
