Hunter Strickland punches out of the Giants’ closer job

June 19, 2018

San Francisco Giants — Closer Hunter Strickland punched a door or wall in frustration after coming out of Monday’s game, breaking his pitching hand. He’ll need surgery and is out 6-8 weeks. Manager Bruce Bochy said Tony Watson and Sam Dyson will split closing duties in Strickland’s stead. Watson has had a better season, so we’ll give him an edge. Side note: Mark Melancon isn’t ready to close just yet.

Updated hierarchy: *Watson | Dyson | Melancon.
