His decision to rejoin the San Francisco Giants is the least surprising move since Hector Sanchez‘s decision to rejoin the organization just a couple of weeks ago. The Giants have made it a habit of bringing back players who previously played for the organization, and Heston is next-in-line.
Heston put together a memorable season in 2015, but injuries since then have put his career at a crossroads. In 2015, Heston was a consistent presence in the rotation. He made 31 starts while posting a 12-11 record with a 3.95 ERA. These stats look solid, but struggles in the second half of the season forced the Giants to reconsider his role.
