Giants' Tristan Beck: Draws first spring start Wednesday
Rotowire
Beck, who made his first Cactus League start Wednesday against the Guardians, is still likely to begin the 2025 campaign as a long reliever, Jack Magruder of MLB.com reports. "We have a lot of really good arms. He's one of them," manager Bob Melvin said. "Maybe more long relief than starting right now with the guys we have a little bit ahead of him."
Beck allowed one run on one hit (a home run) over 2.2 innings while striking out three in the Giants' 11-2 win over Cleveland. Overall, Beck has made four appearances in Cactus League play, recording a 5.40 ERA while striking out four in 6.2 innings. The right-hander has mostly been used in relief over two seasons with San Francisco, though he could enter the starting rotation if injuries arise. The 28-year-old missed the majority of the 2024 campaign due to an aneurysm in his upper right arm that required surgery. Beck made seven appearances (one start) last season, recording a 1.69 ERA and a 14:4 K:BB across 16.0 innings.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Solid in first start of season
Rotowire
Beck took the no-decision Saturday against the Cardinals, as he allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings.
Beck got his first start in place of Blake Snell, Beck's first since September 2023, and he looked impressive in the opportunity. It was Beck's longest outing of the season, and he finishes the season on a positive note. Beck made his season debut in September after missing the majority of the season with an aneurysm in his upper right arm that required surgery. The 28-year-old allowed just three runs in 16 innings this season.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Makes return from 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Giants reinstated Beck (arm) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Beck will join the big club for the first time all season after completing his recovery from surgery to address an upper right arm aneurysm, which cropped up during spring training. The right-hander got stretched out to 56 pitches and three innings over his five minor-league rehab outings, so he be an option for the rotation if the Giants elect to expand to six men at some point in September. For the time being, however, Beck will likely serve as a multi-inning reliever.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Improved form in fifth rehab start
Rotowire
Beck (arm) made the fifth start of his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Sacramento, striking out five over three innings while giving up one earned run on two hits and one walk.
After retiring just five batters while giving up seven runs (six earned) his last time out with Sacramento on Friday, Beck bounced back nicely Wednesday, giving up just one extra-base hit (a solo home run) and spotting 29 of his 41 pitches for strikes. He's now thrown exactly three innings in four of his rehab outings and hasn't thrown more than 56 pitches on any occasion, so the Giants may envision him serving as a multi-inning reliever in September rather than being an option for the rotation. Beck has been on the injured list all season with an upper right arm aneurysm that he addressed through surgery March 4.
Giants' Tristan Beck: Makes third rehab appearance
Rotowire
Beck (arm) struck out four and allowed four earned runs on five hits and no walks over three innings in his most recent rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Sacramento.
Beck has now covered three innings in each of his three rehab starts with Sacramento, logging a 5.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB. According to MLB.com, Beck is scheduled to make his next start for Sacramento on Friday and is likely to work 4-to-5 innings. Though Beck appears to be getting stretched out for a traditional starting role as he works his way back from an the upper right arm aneurysm that he had addressed surgically in early March, the Giants likely won't have a spot available in the rotation for the right-hander once he completes his rehab assignment.
Giants' Tristan Beck: Set for rehab outing Tuesday
Rotowire
Beck (arm) will throw three innings in his rehab appearance with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beck continues to work his way back from surgery on March 3 to address an upper right arm aneurysm. He made his first rehab outing Thursday, when he allowed one run on four hits while striking out four across three innings. If Beck does end up returning to the majors this season, he'll likely work out of the Giants' bullpen rather than the starting rotation.
Beck (arm) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beck is finally ready for his first game action of 2024 after he was diagnosed early in spring training with an aneurysm in his upper right arm that required vascular surgery. He was cleared to resume throwing in early May and had been building up slowly over the last three months, but the Giants evidently came away encouraged with how he fared since he resumed facing hitters. Though Beck had been in line to compete for a rotation spot heading into the spring, he'll prepare for a relief role while he's on his rehab assignment. Beck has two minor-league options remaining, so the Giants could opt to keep him with Sacramento upon activating him from the 60-day injured list if they aren't satisfied with his results during his rehab assignment.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Throws extended side session
Rotowire
Beck (arm) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session at Oracle Park on Sunday, MLB.com reports.
Assuming Beck checked out fine following the extended side session, the Giants could clear him to resume facing hitters when the club reconvenes following the All-Star break. Beck has been on the shelf all season after he was diagnosed with an aneurysm in his upper right arm in spring training that necessitated surgery March 4. Though he was cleared for full baseball activities May 1, Beck has been building up slowly and is still likely multiple weeks away from returning from the 60-day injured list. With both Robbie Ray (elbow) and Alex Cobb (hip/shoulder) further along in their throwing programs and poised to beat him back from the IL to bolster the Giants' rotation depth, Beck will likely be ticketed for the bullpen once he's eventually activated.
Beck was cleared to resume full baseball activities May 1, but the Giants have been having him proceed cautiously with his ramp-up program after he required surgery March 3 to address an upper right arm aneurysm. After weeks of steadily increasing his throwing distance off flat ground, Beck was finally cleared to advance to mound work. Given the pace of his rehab thus far, Beck wouldn't seem likely to make it back from the 60-day injured list until after the All-Star break.
