Tue Aug 9 202214:55Nationals Claim Jake McGee Off Waivers
The 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 Harveyand Victor Arano. Per Camerato's tweet, the Nationals designated outfielder Donovan Casey for assignment to make room for McGee on the active roster.

Sat Jul 9 202218:17Jake McGee DFA'd By Giants
San 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.

Wed May 11 202216:03Jake McGee Placed On 15-Day Injured List
The 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.

Mon Apr 25 202222:09Jake McGee Charged With Blown Save, Picks Up The Win Monday
San Francisco Giants pitcher 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.

Wed Apr 20 202223:49Jake McGee Notches Second Save
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee was asked to close out Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. The veteran lefty has clearly lost some velocity, but continues to pitch well out of the bullpen. Thus far, McGee has allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings of work this season. He notched his second save of the season on Wednesday. Camilo Doval is likely going to be the long term closer, but has experienced issues early on this season. That being said, McGee might be the short term solution for the Giants until Doval settles down.

Sun Apr 17 202200:00Jake McGee Closes Out Win Over Guardians
San Francisco Giants reliever Jake McGee picked up his first save of the season on Saturday, closing the door on a 4-2 win over the Guardians. The left-hander worked around a single and a walk to start the frame before getting a strikeout and a pair of groundouts to cap the win for his club. Camilo Doval has picked up the other two saves for the Giants this season, including one last night, so there doesn't appear to be a clear closer role in Gabe Kapler's bullpen in the early going. Both relievers are worth rostering in 12-teamers since either one could get the potential call in the ninth on any given night.

Sat Oct 2 202117:42Jake McGee Activated From The Injured List
The San Francisco Giants activated closer Jake McGee (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. McGee has pitched to a 2.72 ERA, a 3.35 FIP, and 58 strikeouts in 59.2 innings this season. He's also walked 10 batters while securing 31 of 39 saves. Camilo Doval was getting save opportunities while McGee was on the injured list, but he figures to move back into a setup role for the season's final games. The Giants wrap up the regular season against a San Diego Padres team that had lost 12 of 13 entering play on Saturday, so there might be a save opportunity remaining for fantasy managers with McGee on their rosters.

Tue Sep 28 202119:51Jake McGee To Throw Off A Mound On Wednesday
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee (oblique) is scheduled to throw off a mound on Wednesday. This will be the reliever's first mound work since landing on the injured list with an oblique strain on September 17. If the throwing session goes well, he could have a chance to return before the end of the regular season. McGee leads the Giants with 31 saves on the year. Tyler Rogers and Dominic Leone have recorded a save each since McGee landed on the injured list. Rogers should be viewed as the team's primary closer for the remainder of the regular season.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee picked up his 30th save of the season in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies. McGee entered the game in the ninth inning with a three-run lead and pitched a 1-2-3 inning with no strikeouts. The veteran has played a huge role for the Giants this season and has provided a good deal of fantasy value, converting all but five save opportunities with a 2.76 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP. He should continue to stick in fantasy managers' lineups at all times, given that he has served as the primary closer for the best team in baseball so far this season.

The veteran has now allowed runs in back-to-back games, but still has a 2.81 ERA on the season with 29 saves and a 25% strikeout rate.

McGee has struggled of late, allowing earned runs in three of his last five outings with two blown saves in that span.
