The San Francisco Giants would no doubt love to get their money’s worth in the final year of his five-year, $90 million deal, but it’s looking more and more like it’s time for the 35-year-old to be transitioned into a reserve role.

Calling up prospect Steven Duggar could be one potential roster move.

Luis Perdomo was a pleasant surprise as a Rule 5 pick in 2015 and he took some positive steps forward last season,where can i find nfl jerseys going 8-11 with a 4.67 ERA and 118 strikeouts in 163.2 innings.

A 61.8 percent groundball rate that ranked second among qualified starters was a big part of that modest success. This season has been a struggle, though, and a dip in his groundball rate to 42.9 percent is a big reason why.

The 24-year-old was absolutely shelled in his most recent start on Wednesday, allowing 10 hits and nine runs (seven earned) while recording just nine outs against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

With three minor league options remaining, it might be time to consider a change.

Meanwhile, left-hander Eric Lauer is knocking on the door.

The No. 25 pick in the 2016 draft was viewed as one of the most polished arms in his draft class after a stellar junior season cheap china jerseys nfl at Kent State and he’s delivered on those expectations with a rapid ascent through the minors.

After posting a 3.30 ERA with 132 strikeouts in 122.2 innings between High-A and Double-A last year, he’s off to a strong start in his first taste of Triple-A with a 3.00 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 18 innings over three starts.

The 22-year-old is more floor than ceiling, but he could be ready to make the jump.
