Giants Select Tyler Chatwood

By Steve Adams | August 17, 2021 at 7:09pm CDT

The Giants announced Tuesday that they’ve selected the contract of veteran right-hander Tyler Chatwood. San Francisco optioned righty Jay Jackson to Triple-A Sacramento to clear a spot on the active roster, and right-hander Tyler Beede was recalled from Triple-A and placed on the 60-day injured list with a lower back strain.

Chatwood, 31, was released by the Blue Jays on July 31 and signed with San Francisco on a minor league pact later that week. He’s tossed 5 2/3 shutout frames with the Giant’s Sacramento affiliate since joining the organization.

Signed by the Blue Jays to a one-year, $3MM deal over the winter, Chatwood moved to the bullpen on a full-time basis this season and got out to a brilliant start with the Jays. He missed a couple weeks early on due to some triceps inflammation, but through his first 17 innings out of the bullpen, Chatwood yielded just one run on eight hits and five walks with 24 strikeouts. Things quickly went south, however.

Over his next four appearances, Chatwood pitched just 3 1/3 innings, walked nine batters and served up a whopping 11 runs. That disastrous stretch ballooned his ERA from 0.53 all the way to 5.31. He righted the ship for much of June, lowering his ERA to 4.00 with a string of scoreless outings. But in what would be his final two appearances with the Blue Jays, Chatwood again lost his ability to locate the ball, issuing four walks and yielding a combined five runs in just an inning of work. He was placed on the injured list with a neck strain and, upon returning, was designated for assignment and released.

The Giants will obviously be hoping to get the early version of Chatwood in what has been a Jekyll-and-Hyde season for the veteran righty. Chatwood has only been scored upon in six of his 30 outings this season, but he’s surrendered runs in bunches — including individual appearances in which he’s yielded four and five runs apiece. Command issues aren’t exactly anything new for the longtime Rockies hurler, as evidenced by his 12.1 percent walk rate, but Chatwood’s uptick in his strikeout rates over the past few years surely piqued the interest of not only the Jays but also the Giants.

      Mets fans got their wish with Chatwood. Zaidi wasted money on Chatwood. Zaidi needs to DFA Chatwood as soon as game is over.

    Chatwood over Jackson? Is it because he can pitch multiple innings? Otherwise I don’t get it

      Yes, and Jackson has been struggling as of late with an ERA around 5.20 and WHIP around 1.50 in the past 7 outings

      Wonder if Kapler still thinks Chatwood’s stuff is nasty! Mets sure didn’t think so and jumped all over Chatwood. The true Jekyll and Hyde showed up today. Chatwood never got his stuff in the zone.

        I saw Chatwood a handful of times early in the year. This guy has absolutely no idea where the ball is going. He needs an extended stay in the minors to figure stuff out.

    Bullpen has been taxed the past few weeks, so I could see the Giants cycling through a bunch of guys to just use up arms.

    Matt Shoemaker, Conner Menez, Silvino Bracho, Trevor Hildenberger, Trevor Gott, Daniel Alvarez, Logan Ondrusek,

    I’m guessing that’s why Chatwood is on the roster right now.

      Hildenberger used to be a closer, right? What happened to him?

      Also, it’d be cool to see Gott get another chance. I liked him the first time around

    Kind of surprised at the timing tbh. Figured he’d get a spot start to rest a starter not relief innings

    Another great Farhan move. Take a risk on a guy that has had some success and get a guy some much needed rest. Keep rotating these guys out now so they are good for the rest of the season.

    One of the most frustrating pitchers in the league. Has great stuff and when on is an excellent pitcher. However he goes thru streaks where he can’t locate his pitches and ends up walking a few batters then has to come right down the middle to find the plate. Ends up getting lit up. Cubs have similar pitcher named Dillon Maples.

    Chatwood is 75% good, 25% disastrous. Knowing the Giants season, he’ll be 90% good. They are just having one of those years.

    Giants Select Tyler Chatwood.

    To do what? Play baseball on a MLB team? Y’all – Cubs didn’t want him. The CUBS! Well I guess if you need someone to end the occasional win streak he’s your guy. He’ll keep it real.

      He didn’t play for the Cubs this year. He would of been their number 2 starter.

    Still waiting for Zaidi to DFA, release, option Chatwood. Kapler doesn’t need to give the ball to Chatwood ever again.

    2 walks and hit batter in 9th inning tonight (08/24/2021) against the NY Mets. No lead is safe with Chatwood pitching. Chatwood has got to go!!!
