The Giants placed McGee on the injured list Sunday due to an unspecified issue.

EDGE Analysis

McGee's move to the IL comes one day after he was charged with his first blown save of the season when he gave up two runs on four hits over a 35-pitch inning against the Marlins. Prior to the implosion, McGee had been one of baseball's most valuable closers through the first two weeks of the season with a win and six saves across his initial eight appearances. The fact that the Giants aren't listing McGee with a specific injury suggests his IL move could be related to COVID-19 protocols, but no information on his situation has emerged. In the meantime, the Giants are likely to turn to Tyler Rogers as their interim closer.

McGee allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over one inning in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Marlins. He was charged with a blown save.

EDGE Analysis

McGee's impeccable run of form to start the year came to a close Saturday, as the Marlins put together a ninth-inning rally against the Giants' closer. The 34-year-old southpaw saw his ERA balloon to 2.16 with a 0.96 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB across 8.1 innings this season. McGee is 6-for-7 in save chances so far, so this is likely just a minor hiccup in an otherwise solid run.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty has been the man in the ninth inning for San Francisco and has gotten the job done in all five save opportunities so far this season.
