Boyd lined up for the first game in SF 🤞

[Bertz]

Caple pitching great through 4

The groundball rate has evaporated early here at AA, but still impressive how little he's been fazed at the new level.  If he could get a month+ at Iowa this season and be considered pitching depth in '27 that's a huge win

It's not going super well but Will Sanders rehabbing at SB

[Bertz]

Boyd's through 4 and has thrown 55 pitches.  He's mostly held his velocity.  He'd be lined up to face the Giants next weekend, and their offense mostly sucks.  Are we sure he needs a 2nd rehab outing?

He got lit up by the Giants last year so probably

I mean even if that meant anything he'd be facing the Giants the outing after as well.

Apparently Jace Beck is an interesting arm. He’s been pitching well recently.
