Tristan Beck's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco Giants right-hander Tristan Beck (arm) said he will undergo vascular surgery at Stanford University on Monday to address the aneurysm in his upper right arm. Beck was dealing with an arm injury in camp and was diagnosed with the aneurysm this week. Now that he's being forced to have surgery, there's a good chance the 27-year-old won't be able to pitch at all in 2024, although there has been no specific timetable given for his recovery from surgery. The Giants have some issues at the back of their starting rotation with the start of the season approach, as both Beck and Keaton Winn (elbow), who were projected to be their No. 4 and 5 starters, are hurt. Perhaps the injuries spur the Giants to sign one of Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery in free agency?

The San Francisco Giants are saying that right-hander Tristan Beck (arm) was diagnosed with an aneurysm in his upper arm. He went to Stanford to see a vascular specialist and will weigh his treatment options over the next few days. Beck was penciled in as the team's No. 5 starter to open the year, but manager Bob Melvin said Beck isn't expected to be back for the start of the season and could now miss quite a bit of time. Surgery is probably an option for the 27-year-old, which could cause him to miss the entire 2024 season. It's a tough blow for both Beck and San Fran's rotation depth as they look to cover innings until Alex Cobb (hip) and Robbie Ray (elbow) return later this year. Sean Hjelle figures to be the favorite for the final rotation spot now.

The San Francisco Giants said that right-hander Tristan Beck (hand) went back to San Francisco to see doctors because of right-hand discomfort. Beck and Keaton Winn (elbow) were the favorites to round out San Fran's starting rotation to begin the year with Alex Cobb (hip) and Robbie Ray (elbow) not ready, but now both Beck and Winn are injured. It's unclear if either Beck or Winn will be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season, but if they aren't, the Giants could be forced to go with some inexperienced arms at the back of their rotation early on. The 27-year-old Beck had a 3.92 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP, two saves and 68 strikeouts in 33 outings (three starts) in his MLB debut in 2023, but he had a 7.50 ERA in his three starts late in the year. He may have a brighter future in a relief role.

San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin said that right-handers Keaton Winn and Tristan Beck are the front-runners for the final two starting-rotation spots to open up the 2024 season behind Logan Webb, Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks. Winn, 26, had a 4.68 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with a save, eight walks and 35 K's in 42 1/3 frames over nine outings (five starts) in his rookie year in 2023. Opponents hit the ball really hard off him, though, so fantasy managers in NL-only leagues shouldn't expect much if he wins a rotation spot to open the year. Beck, 27, had a 3.92 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with two saves, 21 walks and 68 K's in 85 innings over 33 outings (three starts) in his rookie season in 2023. Beck was considerably better in relief than in his three starts. Both Winn and Beck will be keeping rotation spots warm for Robbie Ray (elbow) and Alex Cobb (hip).
