Menez (1-0) didn't allow a baserunner in 1.1 innings, striking out one and earning the win versus the Rangers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Menez relieved Logan Webb and got the final out in the fourth inning before retiring the side in the fifth. The Giants took the lead in the bottom of the fifth, making Menez the pitcher of record. The 25-year-old southpaw has a 3.38 ERA, 0.38 WHIP and four strikeouts in 5.1 innings across three relief appearances. It's unlikely Menez works his way into the already crowded closer conversation for the Giants in 2020.

The Giants recalled Menez from their alternate training site Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Menez will be one of six lefties included on the Giants' 16-man Opening Day pitching staff. He'll likely slot into a multi-inning, long-relief role for the Giants after working almost exclusively as a starter during his first four seasons of professional baseball.

Menez was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Menez was a long shot at best to break camp with the big-league team, as he owns a 5.29 ERA in 17.0 innings at the highest level. His 30.1 percent strikeout rate in his brief debut was largely overshadowed by his 16.4 percent walk rate.

Menez was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Menez made three starts for the Giants this season but struggled with 10 runs allowing over 12.2 innings, though he should work out of the bullpen this time around. The 24-year-old had a 3.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 23 outings between Double-A and Triple-A this season.

The Giants optioned Menez to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

San Francisco will need to break in two new back-end rotation members this week after Menez was optioned and Shaun Anderson (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Menez' first two starts in the big leagues were encouraging, but he struggled mightily in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Phillies, lasting just 1.2 innings while ceding three runs on two hits and three walks.

Menez did not factor into the decision against Philadelphia on Sunday, pitching 1.2 innings and giving up three runs on two hits and three walks while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

Menez retired the side in order in the first inning before getting only two outs in a disastrous second frame. He wasn't hit particularly hard -- both base knocks against him were singles, including one that didn't leave the infield -- but he struggled mightily with his control, issuing two walks to the begin the inning and another with the bases loaded to gift Philadelphia a run. Through three major-league starts, Menez now sports a 7.11 ERA and 1.50 WHIP along with a 14:8 K:BB in 12.2 innings. If he is given another start, it is lined up to be in Arizona on Friday.

Menez is listed as the Giants' scheduled starter for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Menez was called up from Triple-A Sacramento earlier this week and entered the rotation Tuesday as a replacement for the demoted Dereck Rodriguez. The rookie was tagged for five runs en route to taking a loss against the Nationals but was able to close on a high note, retiring 10 of the final 11 batters he faced in the six-inning outing. That strong finish will be enough for Menez to earn his third career start, all of which have come at Oracle Park.

Menez (0-1) took the loss against the Nationals on Tuesday, giving up five earned runs on six hits over six innings, striking out four and walking three in the Giants' 5-3 defeat.

EDGE Analysis

Making his second big-league start of the season, Menez mostly held his own, but he was ultimately dealt the loss as he yielded a pair of long balls to Kurt Suzuki and Trea Turner. He's given up seven earned runs on nine hits with a 10:5 K:BB over his 11 innings with the Giants this season.

Menez was officially recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Tuesday's start against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Menez is set to join San Francisco's starting rotation after posting a 4.06 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with a 66:22 K:BB over 44.1 innings this season at Triple-A. Sam Selman was optioned and Joe Panik was designated for assignment in a series of roster moves.

Menez will be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to start against the Nationals on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Off days have allowed the Giants to get by with a four-man rotation for the past couple of weeks, but Menez will get another look in the rotation with the team in need of a fifth starter for its upcoming series against the Nationals. The 24-year-old southpaw held his own in his big-league debut last month, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out six in five innings.
