Scott Kazmir To Start Saturday Against Dodgers
3 years agoSan Francisco Giants starting pitcher Scott Kazmir has been called up from Triple-A and will start on Saturday against the Dodgers, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. Kazmir has not pitched in the majors since 2016 with the Dodgers, where he went 10-6 with a 4.56 ERA with a 22.7 percent strikeout rate over 136 1/3 innings of work. He's looked solid in two appearances at Triple-A this year, going 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA and five strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings of work. It'll be a tough matchup with Los Angeles, but Kazmir could be a potential streaming option for managers willing to take the risk, as the Dodgers are hitting worse against left-handers this season with a .224/.321/.355 triple-slash line and 25.8 percent strikeout rate.
