PHOENIX — When pitchers and catchers reported to the Giants’ complex in Scottsdale in February, manager Bruce Bochy believed the starting rotation would be a clear-cut team strength.
Three months later, the Giants’ rotation is one of the greatest concerns for a club that sits in last place in the National League West.
Bochy announced Sunday that left-hander Andrew Suárez will make his 2019 debut with the club in a series-opener against the Atlanta Braves on Monday at Oracle Park. Suárez owns a 6.33 ERA in six starts with Triple-A Sacramento this season, but the Giants are running out of viable starting options and hope a promotion will help Suárez regain some competitive fire.
