Giants Sign Joe Ross To Minor-League Deal
2 years agoThe San Francisco Giants signed free-agent right-hander and Oakland native Joe Ross (elbow) to a minor-league deal on Monday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Ross underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time last May and is not expected to be ready for the start of the 2023 season. He opted out of the COVID-shortened 2020 season and made 20 appearances (19 starts) in 2021 for the Washington Nationals, going 5-9 with a 4.17 ERA (4.36 FIP), 1.22 WHIP and career-high 23.7 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 108 innings pitched. Ross will eventually serve as starting pitcher depth for the Giants, but he can be ignored in standard 12-team mixed leagues to begin the year.
