Written about him
Seven of the thirteen men who started for the Giants cannot pitch this week
Thirteen pitchers started a game for San Francisco in 2026. Seven of them are unavailable for the final homestand: Tyler Mahle was traded to Atlanta on August 2 and Robbie Ray to San Diego on August 3, while Trevor McDonald, JT Brubaker, Carson Whisenhunt, Adrian Houser and Logan Webb are all on the injured list. Those seven made 105 of the club's 156 starts, or 67.3 percent. Measured the same way on the same morning, with all thirty clubs carrying 28-man active rosters, that is the highest figure in the major leagues; the league median is 27.2 percent and Toronto is second at 50.0. The six starters still standing are Landen Roupp (29 starts), Blade Tidwell (8), Matt Wilkinson (5), Anthony Molina (4), Cesar Perdomo (3) and Yunior Marte (2), for six games in seven days. Wilkinson threw five scoreless innings at Dodger Stadium on Sunday with a career-high six strikeouts in a 3-1 loss. Tidwell starts against Minnesota tonight. One take filed.
Cesar Perdomo Gave Up Three Singles And A Walk In His First Major League Start
Cesar Perdomo made his first major league start at Citi Field on September 6, five days after his major league debut, and pitched six scoreless innings against the New York Mets. He faced twenty batters, allowed three singles and one walk, struck out four and threw 83 pitches, 48 of them for strikes. No New York runner reached second base against him. Joel Kuhnel pitched a scoreless seventh. Carson Seymour then allowed four earned runs on sixteen pitches in the eighth, on a solo home run by Brett Baty and a three-run home run by Bo Bichette, and San Francisco lost 4-2 in front of 29,410. The Giants scored both their runs in the fourth on a Jung Hoo Lee single and finished with five hits and twelve strikeouts. Perdomo is the thirteenth different pitcher to start a game for San Francisco in 2026, which resolves an open Andie Townsend call filed August 21, and his start resolves a Grant Lombard call filed September 2. Perdomo's career major league line is now ten innings, six hits, one earned run, two walks and eight strikeouts. His 2026 was worse at every stop before this: a 3.98 earned run average at Double-A Richmond and a 5.10 mark with twenty walks at Triple-A Sacramento. He has thrown 130 innings this year against a previous career high of 127 and a third. Two takes filed.
Logan Webb Got Six Outs In Pittsburgh. The Pitcher San Francisco Added That Morning Got Twelve.
San Francisco selected the contract of left-hander Cesar Perdomo from Triple-A Sacramento on September 1 and he made his major league debut the same afternoon at Pittsburgh, pitching the fourth through the seventh innings of a 13-12 loss. Perdomo faced fifteen batters, recorded twelve outs, allowed three hits and one run, walked one and struck out four, throwing 40 of 58 pitches for strikes. Logan Webb started and was charged with nine earned runs while recording six outs against eighteen batters faced. Perdomo is 24, signed as a free agent out of Venezuela on July 2, 2021, and did not appear in a professional game until June 2022, when a 60-day injured list stay ended his first season after fifteen innings. He did not reach a full-season league until April 2024 and was assigned to Double-A Richmond on April 1 of this year, five months before his debut. His Sacramento line was a 5.10 earned run average with 20 walks in 47 and two-thirds innings. The 40-man spot came from Adrian Houser, moved to the 60-day injured list the same day with a right forearm strain and a club-stated expected return of 2027. San Francisco also recalled catcher Zach Morgan, who has still never appeared in a major league game. Two takes filed.
