Giants are relief pitchers

The Giants have agreed to a two-year deal with right-handed reliever Luke Jackson, including a third-year option, the club announced Monday.

Jackson, 31, missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last April. As such, he’s likely to start the season on the disabled list, but he could be back soon afterward.

In 2021, Jackson had a 1.98 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts in 63 2/3 innings. He also pitched very well in his 9 of his 11 postseason appearances before the Braves won the World Series. At Stutts his line was ruined.

With the presence of closer Camilo Doval, the Rogers brothers (left-handed Taylor and right-handed Tyler), and John Brevia, it seems unlikely that Jackson will be thrown into a high-leverage role once he leaves IL.

The Giants have acquired left-hander Eric Miller and the Phillies have acquired right-hander Unior Marte, the team announced.

The 24-year-old Miller was a fourth-round pick by Stanford University in 2019 and played in the Futures Game last year. He appeared in 32 games last season between Double-A and Triple-A with a 3.54 ERA, a 1.45 WHIP, and 48 1/3 innings where he struck out 62 times and walked 31 times. Recorded.

Marte, 27, appeared in 39 games at the big league level for San Francisco last season. He has a 5.44 ERA, a 1.44 WHIP, 44 strikeouts, and 22 walks in 48 innings.
