SAN FRANCISCO — On the final day of the season, Giants manager Bruce Bochy will take center stage.
For much of September, the Giants hoped ace Madison Bumgarner would join him in the spotlight, but that’s no longer possible. Bochy announced the team has adjusted its rotation so that Dereck Rodríguez will start the team’s season finale instead of Bumgarner.
“He’s been out there every start and he’s pitched enough,” Bochy said Saturday. “The game is not going to determine anything. He’s got a lot of baseball left and I just like to take care of him.
