Okert was optioned back to Triple-A Sacremento on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okert was up for just one day and did not make an appearance. He was sent down so that the Giants could call up Andrew Suarez to make a start, filling in for the injured Johnny Cueto (ankle). Okert is clearly near the top of the list of minor-league relievers that the Giants will call on in an emergency, but with a 4.83 ERA in 41 career big-league innings, he's unlikely to be much of a fantasy asset in the time he spends in the majors.

Okert was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Chris Haft of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty will be available out of the bullpen Tuesday as he takes the roster spot of Johnny Cueto, who was placed on the DL with an ankle sprain. Okert started the year down at Triple-A and has made two appearances at Sacramento, notching six strikeouts over 2.1 scoreless innings. It could be a short stint for him, however, as the Giants need to add a starter to take Cueto's place in the rotation on Wednesday.

Okert is in the Giants' clubhouse and will be available out of the bullpen Tuesday if Johnny Cueto (ankle) is placed on the 10-day disabled list, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "Okert is here if we make a move today," said manager Bruce Bochy.

EDGE Analysis

Cueto is battling an ankle injury that will likely preclude him from starting Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks. With that, Okert is available as an extra arm out of the bullpen Tuesday should the Giants opt to place Cueto on the disabled list. That said, it'd likely be a short stay for Okert considering that the Giants would need to make another roster move to activate a starter for Wednesday. There will be more clarity on Okert's status once the Giants make a decision on Cueto.

Okert was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okert had a disappointing 2017 season. The southpaw posted a 5.67 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 44 games (27 innings) and put together a poor 22:11 K:BB. Although he's shown improvement this spring, giving up just one run over 4.2 innings, he'll return to Triple-A Sacramento.

Okert allowed one walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning in Thursday's spring win over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Okert is on the outside looking in when it comes to the Giants' projected Opening Day bullpen. The southpaw has looked sharp in his first four spring appearances, but he will have to build off this momentum to overtake fellow lefty, Josh Osich, to earn one of the club's final bullpen jobs.

The Giants recalled Okert from Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw owns a 6.75 major-league ERA in 21.1 innings. Okert will work the middle innings, likely during mostly low-leverage appearances.

Okert was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okert threw 1.2 scoreless innings (34 pitches) in Friday's loss and would have been unavailable for a couple days, so the Giants decided to swap him out for a fresh arm. The lefty has struggled throughout most of the season, but he will likely be on the shuttle back to San Francisco the next time bullpen reinforcements are needed.

Okert has pitched in 5.2 innings since being called up June 23, collecting seven strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

On the season, Okert's strikeouts stands at 14 in 18.2 innings with a high ERA of 6.75. It's been a step backwards for the reliever, who made his major league debut in 2016 and recorded 14 strikeouts in 14.0 innings with an ERA of 6.75. The big difference has been his lack of composure with runners on base. He's only stranding 50 percent of baserunners, an incredibly low number that should only improve as Okert continues getting chances.

Okert was recalled Friday from Triple-A Sacramento, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okert was sent down to Triple-A to regain confidence, and he performed admirably for Sacramento. he notched four saves over 12 innings with a 2.25 ERA and a sparkling 0.67 WHIP. Okert owns a 6.23 ERA at the MLB level this season, but the Giants are hoping he'll pitch more like he did in his first major league sting last season, when he managed a 3.21 ERA and 14 strikeouts in as many innings.

Okert was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Aaron Hill (forearm) was reinstated from the DL and Okert was optioned down in a corresponding move. Manager Bruce Bochy told Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle that he feels Okert needs to regain his confidence in a less stressful environment. Okert has given up nine runs on 12 hits and six walks in 13 innings so far this season.
