Free-agent left-hander Scott Kazmir had a workout for about 10 teams in Tampa on Monday, and the San Francisco Giants were among the teams in attendance. Kazmir reportedly looked much like he did in his start last September for the Giants against the San Diego Padres when he held them to an unearned run and four hits in four innings. The 38-year-old southpaw pitched in only five games (four starts) for the Giants last year and allowed eight earned runs while striking out 10 and walking six in ...

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Scott Kazmir (hamstring) was removed from his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday after suffering a strained right hamstring. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI. He only lasted 1/3 of an inning before being lifted from the game. His final line was three hits, two walks and three earned runs. The 37-year-old hadn't pitched in the majors since 2016 before signing with the Giants this year. He's made five appearances (four starts) with the team ...

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Scott Kazmir will get the start for Thursday's game against former Giant Madison Bumgarner and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Kazmir made his last start on Wednesday last week and he went four innings, allowing four hits, three walks and one unearned run while striking out three. He threw 71 pitches in the start so he's been extended a bit and could pitch relatively deep into Thursday's game if he is effective. He's made four appearances (three starts) with the...

San Francisco Giants left-hander Scott Kazmir will start Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The Giants have been rolling with a four-man rotation lately but will recall Kazmir, who's been pitching in Triple-A. It's his first season in the bigs since 2016, and he made two starts earlier in the year, most recently on June 4. He's posted a 6.43 ERA, 24.1 K%, and 3.4 BB%. Both of his starts were less than five innings, and it'll...

Happy Sixth of July! Hopefully you all had a great holiday weekend of grilling, shooting off fireworks and watching baseball.Just before the Fourth of July weekend, Team USA released their final roster for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. There were quite a few recognizable names on the roster, like veterans Todd Frazier, Edwin Jackson and Scott Kazmir, as well as top prospects like Shane Baz and Triston Casas.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Scott Kazmir made his first big league start in five years in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers. Kazmir took the loss but pitched well, allowing one run on two hits (including a solo home run) and no walks with two strikeouts over four innings. Kazmir said about his start, "I'm just on cloud nine right now. To be able to be here right now, it seems like a dream.". It is unknown when the 37-year-old may make his next appearance for the Giants, but the team is ...

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Scott Kazmir has been called up from Triple-A and will start on Saturday against the Dodgers, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. Kazmir has not pitched in the majors since 2016 with the Dodgers, where he went 10-6 with a 4.56 ERA with a 22.7 percent strikeout rate over 136 1/3 innings of work. He's looked solid in two appearances at Triple-A this year, going 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA and five strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings of work. It'll be a tough matchup with...

San Francisco Giants pitcher Scott Kazmir was scratched from his scheduled start in Triple-A on Friday. It appears the veteran lefty pitcher is a possible candidate to start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. Kazmir has not pitched in the majors since 2016, but has a chance to finally get back on an MLB mound. Nick Tropeano is also in the mix as someone who could make the start for the Giants here. It would be fantastic if Kazmir could get back on the mound, but he won't be an ...

The San Francisco Giants and veteran left-handed pitcher Scott Kazmir have agreed to a Minor League deal with an invitation to big league camp, per ESPN's Buster Olney. The 37-year-old has not pitched since 2016, but reportedly threw up to 93 MPH in his latest bullpen session. Kazmir owns a career 4.01 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 22.2% strikeout rate over 12 seasons. While this may be a fun story to monitor over the course of Spring Training, the deal holds little fantasy value until Kazmir proves that ...

Free-agent starting pitcher Scott Kazmir took the year off to deal with family matters but is interested in pitching again next year. The veteran left-handed was released by the Braves in spring training. He didn't pitch at all in the majors in 2017 either, and had a 4.56 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 8.8 K/9 over 26 starts for the Dodgers in 2016. It's unlikely that Kazmir makes it back to fantasy relevance in 2019.
