MIAMI–After sending Miami native Andrew Suárez to the mound on Wednesday, the Giants will turn to another rookie and local product, Dereck Rodríguez, in an effort to salvage their series-finale against the Marlins Thursday.
Suárez and Rodríguez both made their major league debuts in 2018 as the Giants had their starting rotation decimated by injuries over the first two months of the season.
While each pitcher will likely remain on the starting staff until veterans Jeff Samardzija and Johnny Cueto are set to return from the disabled list, they’re not the only young players who could help the Giants this summer.
