Jake McGee

The Brewers have signed Jake McGee to a major-league contract.

Fantasy Impact

McGee was released by the Giants on July 14th, a mildly surprising move despite his struggles considering he had been in the mix for saves for much of the season. He'll now join a stacked bullpen that includes Devin Williams and Josh Hader, and he should have little or no opportunity for saves absent several injuries ahead of him. McGee has a 7.17 ERA this year, so there is no need to roster him in any format.

Jake McGee pitched 1/3 of an inning, allowing three hits, and three earned runs. He earned his third blown save of the season, and the loss in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

McGee has had a really rough season so far. In 21 games, he has a 6.87 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and 10.31 H/9. It is safe to drop McGee at this point.

Jake McGee tossed a perfect ninth inning to earn his third save of the season in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

McGee got the job done to shut the door on the Dodgers and secure the series sweep on Sunday. After a rough May where the veteran had an ERA of 17.36 and was sent to the injured list, he has yet to allow a run in five appearances this month. Although he is likely not a fantasy value, he could provide some great depth to San Francisco's bullpen if he can stay strong.

Giants reliever Jake McGee is scheduled to be activated from the IL on Friday, according to The Athletic's Andrew Baggarly.

Fantasy Impact

McGee was previously placed on the 15-day IL on Mayl 11 with back tightness. He had really struggled out of the Giants pen this year, but has apparently lengthened his stride and shown enough to return. It's not expected for McGee to pitch in any high leverage situations upon his return.

Jake McGee was placed on the 15-day IL on Wednesday due to lower back tightness.

Fantasy Impact

McGee has given up runs over his last four appearances, and his ERA has ballooned to 9.58 on the season. Perhaps his sore back is partially responsible for his recent performance. McGee hasn't recorded a save or hold since April 20 and is probably not worth holding onto in most fantasy leagues.
