SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Giants manager Gabe Kapler sees his starting rotation beginning to take shape. You can pretty much pencil in Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija, Drew Smyly and Kevin Gausman as starters one through four, in one order or another.
But the battle for the fifth spot is well under way. Right-handers Logan Webb and Tyler Beede each made their second appearances of the spring in a 6-5 loss to the Rangers, but only Webb pitched more than one inning.

That’s because Beede started to feel tightness in his elbow while throwing his curveball.
