Tristan Beck (arm) continues his throwing progress in San Francisco and was scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Monday. The 27-year-old felt his hand go cold after throwing some bullpen sessions early in spring training, prompting the Giants to send him back to San Fran to be evaluated by team doctors on Feb. 27. A vascular specialist at Stanford helped determine Beck was dealing with an aneurysm -- an abnormal bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel. Beck was moved to the 60-day injured list on March 3 and had surgery at Stanford the next day. Although he's making progress, Beck probably won't be an option to return to the big leagues for at least another couple of weeks, and when he does return, he'll likely be ticketed for a long-relief role with the Giants' starting rotation getting healthier in the second half.

Tristan Beck (arm) was cleared to resume full baseball activity after a follow-up appointment with Dr. Jason Lee on May 11 and he's currently throwing out to 120 feet. The 27-year-old felt his hand go cold after throwing some bullpen sessions early in spring training, so he was sent back to San Francisco to be evaluated by team doctors on Feb. 27. An aneurysm was the source of the numbness, and Beck was moved to the 60-day injured list on March 3 and had surgery at Stanford the next day to address an abnormal bulge in the wall of a blood vessel in his right arm. The Giants aren't rushing Beck back by any means, but barring a setbacks as he builds his arm back up, he should be an option for the team's starting rotation in the second half of the season.

Tristan Beck (arm) has been cleared to increase his conditioning, but he isn't expected to resume throwing until May as he recovers from an upper right-arm aneurysm. He is scheduled to see Dr. Jason Lee for another follow-up exam at Stanford on May 1. The 27-year-old felt his hand go cold after throwing some bullpen sessions early in spring training, prompting the Giants to send him back to San Francisco to be evaluated by team doctors on Feb. 27. Beck was moved to the 60-day injured list on March 3 and underwent surgery at Stanford the next day to address the issue. Beck is hoping to return at some point in 2024, but that's unlikely to happen until the second half of the season. And if Beck does return this year, there's no guarantee he'll have a spot in the rotation waiting for him.

Tristan Beck (arm) underwent successful vascular surgery to repair an aneurysm in his upper right arm, per the Athletic's Andrew Baggarly. He was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday but was on track to start the season in the team's rotation. The Giants currently have numerous injuries to their pitching staff, so Beck may have the opportunity to start when he returns from the IL. The 27-year-old pitched mostly out of the bullpen last season, compiling a 3.92 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 19.2% strikeout rate in 85 innings pitched.
