3 years agoThe Washington Nationals have reportedly claimed left-handed reliever
Jake McGee off waivers, according to a tweet from MLB.com's Jessica Camerato. McGee started the year with the San Francisco Giants and also spent time with the Milwaukee Brewers. All told, he's logged a 7.00 ERA, a 4.70 FIP and three saves in 27 innings of work this season. The veteran, who notched 31 saves for the Giants last season, will give the Nationals another late-inning option alongside the likes of
Kyle Finnegan,
Hunter Harvey and
Victor Arano. Per Camerato's tweet, the Nationals designated outfielder
Donovan Casey for assignment to make room for McGee on the active roster.

3 years agoSan Francisco Giants left-handed reliever
Jake McGee was designated for assignment on Saturday. What a fall from grace for the Giant's former closer. After saving 31 games for the team last season, he has recorded just three in 2022 and has seen his role increasingly diminish throughout the season. His 7.17 ERA and 1.55 WHIP are reason enough for this move, but his underlying stats are somehow even worse, with McGee sporting an 8.27 xERA and 11.5% strikeout rate. As a lefty with a decent pedigree, he is sure to be picked up by someone, but he has next to no fantasy value anymore.

3 years agoThe San Francisco Giants placed relief pitcher
Jake McGee (back) on the 15-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. In a corresponding move, the team activated third baseman
Evan Longoria (finger) from the 10-day injured list and he is making his season debut on Wednesday. McGee is dealing with lower back tightness. The injury may explain the 35-year-old's struggles so far in May. Over 3.2 innings this month, he's allowed 11 hits and 10 runs (nine earned). McGee and
Camilo Doval entered the year in a competition for saves, but Doval has pitched his way to the top of the team's closer hierarchy. Doval has converted 5-of-6 save opportunities while pitching to a 2.84 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. McGee, meanwhile, has gone 2-for-3 in save chances.

Jake McGee allowed one run on one hit across one inning in Monday's 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. He was charged with a blown save but picked up his first victory of the year. The 35-year-old entered the eighth inning to protect a one-run lead. He surrendered a solo blast to
Willy Adames, charging the veteran with his first blown save of the season.
Camilo Doval was given the save opportunity on Monday and retired all three hitters he faced. McGee owns a 3.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and three strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in 2022. The right-hander continues to split save chances with Doval but has only notched two saves compared to Doval's four.
