The Giants are promoting left-handed reliever Gage, who signed a minor league deal after becoming a free agent. Gage has pitched effectively with 5 1/3 shutout innings in Triple-A after a successful 5 2/3 innings in the MLB with the Tigers this season. He has a career ERA of 1.42 over parts of three MLB seasons, with 25 1/3 innings pitched. Gage boasts a 22.5% strikeout rate and a 10.8% walk rate, indicating solid performance. Opening roster spots is necessary for his official promotion to the Giants' active roster.
Gage, 32, signed a minor league deal with San Francisco early this month after he elected free agency following an outright by the Tigers. He's tossed 5 1/3 shutout innings with the Giants' Triple-A club - a nice follow-up to the 5 2/3 shutout innings he delivered for Detroit's big league club this season.
Gage has pitched in parts of three MLB campaigns but has only 25 1/3 innings under his belt despite a tidy 1.42 earned run average in that time.
He has fanned 22.5% of his opponents against a 10.8% walk rate, achieving a 0.67 ERA and a 22.8% strikeout rate.
To make Gage’s promotion official, the Giants will need to open spots on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters.
