Giants Place Keaton Winn on 15-Day Injured List After Right-Elbow Strain

The move, which the club calls a short-term reset, raises questions about reliever workload and internal communication as Tristan Beck is recalled to the bullpen.

Overview

  • The San Francisco Giants moved right-hander Keaton Winn to the 15-day injured list retroactive to June 11 and recalled righty Tristan Beck from Triple-A Sacramento to fill the roster spot.
  • Manager Tony Vitello said Winn felt elbow soreness while playing catch, underwent an MRI that showed no notable structural damage, and probably will not throw for a handful of days.
  • Winn had appeared in games on June 6, 7 and 8, with the June 8 outing ending two-thirds of an inning and three runs allowed in a blown save that was his last appearance before the IL placement.
  • Winn’s medical history includes Tommy John surgery in 2021 and a season-ending right-elbow procedure in July 2024, which factored into the club’s decision to convert him to a reliever and informs concern about any new elbow symptoms.
  • Coverage diverges on responsibility for Winn’s usage: Vitello said pregame meetings occurred and Winn did not report issues, while reporting from club sources in the New York Post says coaching and medical staff did not flag concerns, a dispute that could affect how the Giants manage bullpen workloads and nearby rehab timelines.
