As the Giants prepare for Opening Day, the competition for the fifth starter spot remains tight among Hayden Birdsong, Landen Roupp, and Kyle Harrison. Despite being favored for the position, Harrison's injury struggles and lack of innings pitched have put him at a disadvantage compared to Birdsong and Roupp, who have performed well in the Cactus League. The team will need to finalize their rotation soon, along with other roster decisions, as the start of the season approaches.
"Harrison has been playing catchup for the entirety of camp after losing 10 to 15 pounds right before spring training."
"Birdsong and Roupp have both thrown 12 innings this spring and have been stretched out to throw at least five innings."
