Carson Seymour

Seymour, who got moved from the rotation to the bullpen in Triple-A in June, ended up with a 4.55 ERA and a 23/16 K/BB in 31 2/3 innings over 25 appearances in the majors this year. It’s surprising that he hasn’t been able to miss more bats with his 95-99 mph fastball, cutter and slider, and he might be in some danger of landing on the waiver wire with the Giants needing to make room for a bunch of injured players returning from the 60-day IL.

Seymour got the call to close out Tuesday’s contest against the Reds with a three-run lead. He gave up a solo homer to Sal Stewart before holding on for his first save of the season. This comes with Dylan Smith unavailable after pitching in two of the last three games. Don’t expect Seymour to be a consistent option for saves.

Seymour returns to the majors on the heels of San Francisco’s sell-off at the trade deadline. The 27-year-old made two appearances for the Giants earlier this year. He’ll operate in a low-leverage multi-inning role out of the bullpen.

The 27-year-old hurler has made two appearances with the Giants this season, posting an unsightly 14.54 ERA, 3.00 WHIP and a 2/2 K/BB ratio over 4 1/3 innings. He’ll continue to refine his craft in the rotation at the Triple-A level until another need arises. Expect a corresponding move to be made before Friday’s series opener against the Cubs.

Seymour is carrying a 4.04 ERA in nine starts and 11 overall appearances for the River Cats. There’s nothing special here, but Seymour could be a reasonable depth arm and may be asked to eat some innings over the weekend. It’s plausible that he could be cover if Landen Roupp (back) needs an early exit on Saturday.
