San Francisco Giants closer Jake McGee earned his third save of the season in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rockies. McGee came on up by two with two outs and the tying run on first base. He struck out Sam Hilliard on three pitches to end the game and cap off a great start by teammate Johnny Cueto. McGee has been great for the Giants in the end of games this season, converting all of his save opportunities without allowing a run and racking up six strikeouts over his 4 1/3 innings of work. It ...

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee earned his second save of the season in Monday's 3-2 win over the Padres. McGee entered the game in the ninth inning up by a run and got the first two outs, but then walked Manny Machado and hit Eric Hosmer before getting the final out. McGee's final line was no hits, a walk, a hit batter, and a strikeout over the inning pitched. The new Giant has now converted both of his save opportunities and seems to be taking over the closer position for the...

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee shut the door in his first save opportunity of the season Friday against the Mariners. McGee came on to pitch the ninth inning up by three and pitched a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts. The veteran had a great 2020 season out of the bullpen for the Dodgers and was signed by the Giants this off-season to hold down a late-inning role. While teammate Tyler Rogers was also mentioned as a potential closer candidate for the Giants this spring, it looks...

McGee was solid in his lone season with the Dodgers in 2020, posting a 2.66 ERA and 0.83 WHIP with 33 strikeouts and only three walks in 20 1/3 innings over 24 regular season appearances in the shortened 2020 season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed relief pitcher Jake McGee on Tuesday. He'll provide left-handed bullpen depth for the Dodgers after he was released last week by the Rockies, who must pay the bulk of his pro-rated $9 million salary in 2020. The 33-year-old southpaw had a tough time pitching in the thin air of Colorado after coming up with the Rays. Caleb Ferguson and Adam Kolarek are the lefty relievers that have seen the most work for the team in summer camp. McGee has a 3.64 ERA and 497 K's in ...

Shaw had a 5.61 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 112 strikeouts and 57 walks while allowing 21 home runs in 126 2/3 relief innings in his two seasons with the Rockies.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Jake McGee doesn't seem like anything too special this season, but he's actually second in the league in a category. McGee tossed a shutout inning on Saturday, but like most of his innings this season, it wasn't the kind of dominant relief inning one would expect from a high-leverage reliever with an ERA of just 1.35. He didn't strike anyone out and allowed two baserunners. In fact, McGee is only striking out seven batters per nine innings, and his xFIP of 5.00 i[...]

A little over two weeks since landing on the injured list with a left knee MCL sprain, Colorado Rockies reliever Jake McGee is taking his first steps towards a return. The 32-year-old is playing catch and ramping up his strength for the week before the next steps are decided.
