Overview

• Camilo Doval resumes the official closer role, with Ryan Walker shifting to a high-leverage setup position.
• The switch was triggered by Walker surrendering a ninth-inning run in Washington on May 25, despite the Giants’ 3-2 victory.
• Doval has posted a 1.16 ERA this season and carries an 18-inning scoreless streak dating back to early April.
• Walker’s ERA has risen to 4.95 in 2025, and he has recorded just 19 strikeouts over 20 innings.
• San Francisco’s bullpen leads MLB with a 2.48 ERA, and Doval’s return is expected to reinforce its late-inning strength.
