Jakob Junis - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Takes loss Monday Junis (4-2) allowed a run on three hits, a walk and a hit batter with two strikeouts in 4.1 innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Junis allowed more baserunners than the Giants contributed in the entire contest, and he received no run support in his first start since June 10. The right-hander wasn't bad, but he was limited to 62 pitches (38 strikes) as he continues to build back up after missing over a month with a hamstring strain. He's been generally effective with a 2.98 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB through 54.1 innings in 11 appearances (eight starts) this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Cubs this weekend, though it's likely Junis will still have a workload restriction for at least a couple more outings.

In rotation to begin second half Junis is slated to start Monday's game in Arizona.

Impact After he was reinstated from the injured list July 16, Junis was available out of the bullpen for the Giants' final two games before the All-Star break since the team was able to temporarily get by with a four-man rotation. With San Francisco opening its post-break schedule with five games in five days, Junis will slot back into the rotation, though he could have a workload restriction Monday. Before making a two-inning relief appearance following his return from the IL a week and a half ago, Junis covered only two frames in both of his minor-league rehab outings.

Covers two innings in relief Junis tossed two innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Brewers, giving up three earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two.

Impact Before landing on the injured list in mid-June with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, Junis had been working as a starter, but the Giants chose to ease him back in a relief role after he was activated Saturday. Though Junis struggled in his appearance out of the bullpen, he should be the leading candidate to jump back into the rotation when the Giants first require a fifth starter coming out of the All-Star break. Through 10 appearances (seven starts) for the big club in 2022, Junis has posted a 3.06 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB in 50 innings.

Back and available in relief Junis (hamstring) was activated off the injured list Saturday and is expected to pitch out of the bullpen, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Junis should be able to reclaim his rotation role after the break, but the Giants don't need a starter in either of the final two games of the first half, so he'll pitch in relief for now. He's available for up to 60 pitches in support of Alex Cobb on Saturday against the Brewers. Prior to hitting the injured list with a hamstring strain in mid-June, Junis had recorded a 2.63 ERA in seven starts and two relief appearances.

JULY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Saturday Junis (hamstring) is a candidate to return from the injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the Brewers, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Mauricio Llovera left Friday's game against the Brewers due to a flexor strain, so Junis would likely provide length out of the bullpen if he's ultimately cleared to return Saturday. Alex Cobb and Logan Webb are listed as the probable starters for Saturday and Sunday, respectively, but Junis said that he's built up to approximately 50-60 pitches. The right-hander has made two rehab appearances and has allowed a run on five hits and no walks while striking out four in four innings.

JULY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for rehab start Monday Junis (hamstring) will make a rehab start with the Giants' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Junis threw two innings in a rehab start Thursday and will make another appearance with the rookie-level affiliate Monday. The Giants haven't yet revealed when the right-hander will be able to return, but he should be out through the All-Star break if he requires another rehab appearance following Monday's outing.

Needs more time before live BP Junis (hamstring) is expected to throw two or three more bullpen sessions before he's cleared to face hitters in live batting practice, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News rep...

Impact Junis felt fine after throwing approximately 20 pitches Tuesday at about 75-to-80 percent effort in what marked his first side session since landing on the 15-day injured list June 11. He's scheduled to throw off a mound again Friday, and if that schedule holds, he'll then throw a third bullpen session Monday. Junis could thus be ready to face hitters by next weekend before potentially embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment during the second week of July. That timeline could make it difficult for Junis to make it back before the All-Star break, though his absence is less of an issue with fellow starting pitchers Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Cobb having returned from the IL earlier this month.

Completes bullpen session Junis (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Junis was ruled out 4-to-6 weeks after suffering a Grade 2 hamstring strain in mid-June, and he's creeping closer to embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. However, the 29-year-old will first need to advance to facing live batters, and it's unclear when he's expected to do so.

Out 4-to-6 weeks Junis' Grade 2 hamstring strain will keep him out for 4-to-6 weeks, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Junis suffered the injury in his start Friday against the Dodgers. His loss will be a surprisingly significant one for the Giants, as he owns a 2.63 ERA and 0.96 WHIP through nine outings this season. The given timeline means he should return either shortly before or shortly after the All-Star break.

Diagnosed with Grade 2 strain Junis was diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact As manager Gabe Kapler said, it's not a mild strain for Junis, so he could miss well over the minimum 15 days. Sean Hjelle could be an option to make a spot start next week and Alex Cobb (neck) and Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) figure to beat Junis back to the rotation.

To IL with hamstring strain Junis was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left hamstring strain, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Junis hasn't gotten an MRI yet but wasn't feeling much better Saturday morning. Slusser also notes that hamstring strains typically require 3-to-6 weeks of recovery and the team will know more after his MRI. The Giants will likely have to dip into the Triple-A rotation for a short-term replacement for Junis.

Diagnosed with hamstring strain Junis was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain after exiting Friday's game against the Dodgers in the top of the sixth inning, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Junis limped off the field after slipping on the mound in the top of the sixth inning, and he's dealing with a hamstring strain. The grade of the strain isn't yet clear, and the team hasn't revealed whether the right-hander will require a trip to the injured list. If he's able to make his next start, Junis tentatively lines up to take the mound at home against the Royals on Wednesday.

Departs with injury Junis was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers in the top of the sixth inning due to an apparent left hamstring injury, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Junis slipped on the mound in the top of the sixth inning and appeared to be grabbing at his left hamstring as he limped off the field afterward. The right-hander threw 92 pitches (64 strikes) prior to his departure and allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings. The severity of his injury hasn't yet been revealed.

Walton's slam, Junis' solid outing lead Giants past Marlins

Donovan Walton hit a grand slam, Jakob Junis pitched six innings of one-run ball and the San Francisco Giants beat the Miami Marlins 5-1

JUNE 5, 2022 • Associated Press

Fans eight in win Junis (3-1) earned the victory Sunday in Miami, striking out eight in six innings while allowing a run on two hits and two walks.

Impact Junis held the Marlins' lineup in check, allowing just a single and two walks through the first five innings. Garrett Cooper tagged him for a one-out solo shot in the sixth but Junis came right back and struck out the final two batters he faced. The eight strikeouts were a season-high for the 29-year-old. Junis is easily having the best season of his career with a 2.51 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 43 innings. His next start will likely be next weekend against the Dodgers.

JUNE 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up one run in no-decision Junis didn't factor in the decision during Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Phillies after allowing one run on three hits across 4.1 innings. He had three strikeouts and two walks.

Impact The right-hander threw 40 of his 64 pitches for strikes but generated only five swinging strikes, and he was lifted after giving up a one-out single during the fifth inning. It's the first time this season Junis has failed to complete at least five innings, though it had less to do with his performance than the quick hook of manager Gabe Kapler. Regardless, it was another solid outing for the 29-year-old, and he'll carry a 2.68 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB into his next outing.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Earns second win Junis (2-1) allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Mets.

Impact Junis was handed a nine-run lead after two innings, and he held the Mets in check thanks to nine groundball outs. The primary damage against him came in the sixth inning when Francisco Lindor took him yard for a solo home run. However, Junis still managed to record his first quality start of the campaign, and his first win since April 22. Overall, Junis has maintained a 2.76 ERA and 24:5 K:BB across 32.2 innings.

MAY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses six efficient innings Junis didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 8-7 loss to San Diego, allowing four runs on seven hits with two strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Junis successfully navigated a tough San Diego lineup aside from the third inning, when he surrendered all four runs on four hits. The 29-year-old reached six innings for the first time, and he did it on an impressive 76 pitches though pitching to contact yielded only two strikeouts and five swinging strikes. Junis takes a 2.70 ERA and 1.01 WHIP into his next start, projected to come midweek against the Mets.

MAY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rotation security increases With Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) getting placed on the 60-day injured list, it would seem that Junis has a better chance of sticking in the rotation over the next month.

Impact DeSclafani won't be eligible to return until late June, and while the Giants usually have viable options for rotation depth, Junis should be able to stick in the rotation if he continues to pitch well over the next month. He has a 1.74 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB in 20.2 innings over four starts.
