Giants' Tristan Beck Diagnosed with Aneurysm, Out for Opening Day

The San Francisco Giants face a challenging start to the season as pitcher Tristan Beck's arm aneurysm diagnosis complicates their rotation plans.

  • San Francisco Giants right-hander Tristan Beck has been diagnosed with an aneurysm in the upper part of his pitching arm, ruling him out for Opening Day.
  • Beck began experiencing numbness in his hand, leading to the diagnosis after being examined by vascular specialists at Stanford.
  • The pitcher's treatment options are being evaluated, with surgery likely sidelining him for at least two months.
  • The Giants' rotation is further destabilized by Beck's absence, intensifying the team's search for starting pitching options.
  • Manager Bob Melvin and the Giants are considering free-agent pitchers, including 2023 NL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, to bolster the rotation.
