Rotation Competition Intensifies for 2027

Dean Kremer's 1.62 ERA over his last three starts and Connor Prielipp's recent seven scoreless innings have strengthened their cases. Zebby Matthews' uneven Giants outing and Joe Ryan's velocity, strikeout and home-run concerns leave several rotation spots unsettled alongside Taj Bradley and Bailey Ober; Bradley is slated to start Sept. 22 at San Francisco.
