Giants Designate Jandel Gustave For Assignment

By Anthony Franco | August 2, 2020 at 7:58pm CDT

Prior to today’s game, the Giants designated right-handed reliever Jandel Gustave for assignment, per Maria Guardado of MLB.com (Twitter link). The move cleared roster space for the addition of fellow right-hander Andrew Triggs, whose contract was selected. Additionally, Rule V draftee Dany Jiménez cleared waivers and was returned to the Blue Jays organization after being designated earlier in the week, per Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle (Twitter link).

The hard-throwing Gustave was once a relief prospect of note in the Astros’ system, but his most extensive MLB action came last season with the Giants. He tossed 24.1 innings of 2.96 ERA ball, but mediocre strikeout (14.1%) and walk (9.1%) rates suggested that strong run prevention was unlikely to continue. He hadn’t been on the Giants’ active roster this season.

Triggs got off to an inauspicious start to his SF tenure this afternoon, allowing three runs on three walks while recording just one out in a loss to the Rangers. Nevertheless, the 31-year-old once looked like a solid back-end starter, flashing solid strikeout and ground ball tendencies across the bay with the A’s between 2016 and 2018.

Jiménez’s time as a Giant comes to an end after just two appearances (in which he walked three of eight batters faced). The 26-year-old returns to the Toronto organization, where he needn’t occupy a 40-man roster spot.

    Well, welcome to Miami, Mr. Gustave! Hopefully it’s a Covid-19 free stay

      He had better numbers than Triggs. I hate that Farhan only judges players by k/9 and velocity.

        Then he should acquire every pitcher they face because they end up with a high K/9 strikeout rate

        Aren’t pitchers supposed to be able to strike out batters?

          Not necessarily as long as they’re effective in my opinion it doesn’t always matter as long as they get the outs though, you’re correct they’re absolutely times where you need a strikeout (cough* yesterday cough*)

        Tyler Rogers disagrees with that statement.

    It’s surprising to see how expendable most players on the Giants roster are. It just goes to show that they’re merely placeholders.

    And why Triggs ? Has Dereck Rodriguez been goofing off in the alternate training site ?

    I don’t get it, the Giants bullpen is one of the worst in the majors and it sounds like someone in the Giants top brass is in serious denial starting with Kapler. And why can Jandel Gustave? ….24 innings with a 2.96 ERA?The Giants seem fated to either acquire another front line starter or a proven closer. Gausman did once pitch relief but he is a great starter now. Time to wake up Giants and do something, quit scamming the fans!
