Delaplane (forearm) has given up six runs on five hits and eight walks while striking out six over 2.2 innings at Single-A San Jose since being transferred to the affiliate May 13 after being activated from Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list.
Delaplane missed the entire 2021 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and made only four appearances in the minors in 2022 while dealing with a related forearm issue that carried over into 2023. After missing the first five weeks of the current season, Delaplane received the green light to debut earlier this month, but he's struggled to find the strike zone thus far in his four outings. The 28-year-old right-hander will likely continue to make appearances in the lower levels of the minors until he shows improved control.

Giants' Sam Delaplane: Re-signs with San Francisco
Rotowire
Delaplane (forearm) re-signed with the Giants on a minor-league deal Nov. 19.
Delaplane opted to stick around for a second year in the Giants organization despite having been moved off the 40-man roster earlier this month prior to becoming a free agent. After undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2021, Delaplane was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the lower levels of the minors this past May, but he made just four appearances before being shut down for the season with a forearm strain.
Delaplane (forearm) was designated for assignment by the Giants on Tuesday.
Delaplane missed the start of 2022 with a forearm strain and was shut down after he started a four-game rehab assignment in late May. He underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2021, and it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy in time for spring training as he deals with the lingering arm issues.

Giants' Sam Delaplane: Shut down again with forearm strain
Rotowire
The Giants have recalled Delaplane from Single-A Jose and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right forearm strain, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Delaplane underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2021 and was non-tendered by the Giants in the offseason and later re-signed on a minor-league deal before he was added to the 40-man roster earlier this month. The 27-year-old began his rehab assignment at San Jose on May 28 and was expected to eventually settle at Double-A Richmond or Triple-A Sacramento, but that didn't come to fruition after he suffered an apparent setback with his surgically repaired elbow following his fourth rehab outing with the Single-A affiliate. He'll now be on the shelf for at least the next two months, and it's possible the Giants choose to shut him down for the season.

Delaplane (undisclosed) will begin camp behind his teammates in his throwing progression, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Mariners' Sam Delaplane: Protected from Rule 5 draft
Rotowire
Delaplane's contract was selected by the Mariners on Friday.
Most relief pitching prospects are irrelevant in standard fantasy leagues, but Delaplane is not only the Mariners' best relief pitching prospect, but he could conceivably earn the closer's role in the near future. He is listed at just 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, but he has a mid-90s fastball and wipeout slider. Delaplane spent the summer at the alternate training site after logging a 0.49 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 58:9 K:BB in 37 innings at Double-A in 2019.
