EDGE Analysis

After clearing health and safety protocols, Winn will look to finish his rookie campaign on a high note Friday at Oracle Park in San Francisco. The 25-year-old right-hander holds a 3.89 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB through his first 37 major-league innings.

Winn (illness) is scheduled to start Friday's series opener against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Winn has been on the COVID-19 injured list since Sept. 19, but he's cleared health and safety protocols and will fit in one more start with the Giants before their 2023 season comes to a close. The 25-year-old right-hander carries a strong 3.89 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB through his first 37 major-league innings this season, though his highest single-game pitch count is 80.

Winn was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sept. 19.

EDGE Analysis

He will be eligible to return on Sept. 26, but it's up in the air at this juncture as to whether he'll be cleared by then. Winn has pitched well in a swingman role for the Giants, holding a 3.89 ERA and 30:8 K:BB over 37 innings covering four starts and four relief appearances.

Winn allowed three runs on three hits and two walks, striking out five batters over four innings while notching a no-decision in Game 1 of a doubleheader against Colorado on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

All three runs Winn allowed scored on a third-inning, bases-clearing triple by Ezequiel Tovar. Though Winn has bounced between pitching as a traditional starter and a bulk reliever, his workload has been fairly consistent, as he's completed between four and six innings in seven of his eight appearances. The rookie right-hander has held his own in the majors thus far, posting a 3.89 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB over 37 frames.

Winn (1-2) allowed three runs on five hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win Sunday over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Winn's last outing was last Sunday, in which he pitched five scoreless innings out of the bullpen. He got the start this time around and turned in a quality start, his second in seven appearances this season. The rookie right-hander has been effective so far with a 3.55 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB through 33 innings. It's unclear what his role will be going forward, though the Giants certainly have a need for solid starting efforts. If he remains in the rotation, his next outing would be a rematch with the Rockies in Colorado.

Winn will start for the Giants on Sunday against the Rockies, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

EDGE Analysis

It had already been reported that Winn was pitching Sunday and now it's known that he'll start rather than be used in bulk relief. The rookie right-hander has collected a 3.33 ERA and 16:6 K:BB over 27 innings for the Giants this season.

Winn is likely to pitch Sunday against the Rockies, whether it's as a traditional starter or bulk reliever, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

EDGE Analysis

Giants manager Gabe Kapler has yet to make an official call on a starter yet, but Winn will be featured in some form. The rookie right-hander tossed five scoreless relief innings in his last appearance and holds a 3.33 ERA and 16:6 K:BB over 27 frames overall this season.

Winn allowed four hits and a walk over five scoreless innings in relief during Sunday's loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

After Alex Cobb gave up four runs in three innings to begin the game, Winn handled the rest of the duties. It was Winn's first MLB appearance since July 4 and the first scoreless outing of his MLB career. He now owns a 3.33 ERA through 27 innings this season. Winn will likely continue eating bulk bullpen innings, though he could slide into the rotation if necessary.

Winn (elbow) was reinstated from Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list Saturday and gave up five earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out three in 2.2 innings in his return to action against Tacoma.

EDGE Analysis

Winn was sidelined for just a month due to right elbow soreness. The right-hander made five appearances (two starts) with the Giants earlier in 2023 but will likely need to enjoy a sustained run of success at Sacramento before garnering another look with the big club.

Triple-A Sacramento placed Winn (elbow) on its 7-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Winn was deactivated after he experienced soreness in his right elbow coming out of his most recent outing with Sacramento on July 22. Fortunately for Winn, his follow-up tests revealed no structural damage to his elbow, but it's unclear if he'll be able to pitch again in 2023 while he recovers from the injury. Before he was optioned to Sacramento on July 6, Winn went 2-1 with a 4.09 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 22 innings in five appearances (two starts) with the Giants.
