SAN FRANCISCO — Tyler Beede and Andrew Suarez spent the spring competing to be the next man up in the big league rotation. It turns out they’ll make their debuts less than 24 hours apart.
Beede got his feet wet with four two-run innings on Tuesday and Suarez will take the ball Wednesday in place of Johnny Cueto, who has a sprained left ankle. The 25-year-old left-hander was added to the roster Wednesday morning, with Madison Bumgarner moving to the 60-day DL to clear a 40-man roster spot. Steven Okert was optioned back to Triple-A after one game to clear a spot on the active roster.
