April 24: LHP Blake Snell placed on 15-day injured list with left adductor strain; RHP Landen Roupp recalled from Triple-A Sacramento
Snell was scheduled to make his fourth start of the year against the Mets on Wednesday, but he was scratched after suffering a moderate adductor strain during his most recent bullpen session at Oracle Park. With Snell unavailable, the Giants were forced to stage a bullpen game and tap right-hander Ryan Walker to serve as an opener for the first time this year.

Roupp, who was sent down to clear a spot for right-hander Mitch White on Tuesday, was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to take Snell's place on the 26-man roster.

10-DAY/15-DAY INJURED LIST

LHP Blake Snell (left adductor strain)
Expected return: At least 15 days
Snell was scheduled to make his fourth start of the year against the Mets on April 24, but he was scratched after landing on the 15-day injured list with the adductor issue. Manager Bob Melvin said Snell was diagnosed with a “moderate strain,” which could sideline him for longer than the requisite 15 days. Prior to suffering the injury, the reigning National League Cy Young winner had gone 0-3 with an 11.57 ERA over his first three starts for San Francisco. (Last updated: April 24)

60-DAY IL

RHP Alex Cobb (left hip surgery)
Expected return: Late May
Cobb was progressing well in his rehab from offseason hip surgery, but he hit another minor setback when he felt mild shoulder irritation before throwing a bullpen session on April 16. Cobb "felt OK" when he resumed throwing, manager Bob Melvin said, but he saw team orthopedist Dr. Ken Akizuki as a precaution on April 18. Cobb said imaging on the shoulder came back clean, and he'll continue to throw off flat ground. He's currently throwing out to 75 feet.

Cobb previously had a "baby setback" when he was briefly shut down with a mild flexor strain in his right elbow. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list on April 20, so he won't be eligible to return until May 27. (Last updated: April 22)

RHP Tristan Beck (upper right arm aneurysm)
Expected return: Second half
Beck, 27, felt his hand go cold after throwing some bullpen sessions early in camp, prompting the Giants to send him back to San Francisco to be evaluated by team doctors on Feb. 27. He ended up visiting a vascular specialist at Stanford, who helped determine that an aneurysm -- an abnormal bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel -- was the source of the numbness. Beck was transferred to the 60-day injured list on March 3 and underwent surgery at Stanford the next day to address the issue.

Beck has been cleared to increase his conditioning, though he isn't expected to resume throwing until May. He is scheduled to see Dr. Jason Lee for another followup at Stanford on May 1. (Last updated: April 22)

LHP Robbie Ray (Tommy John surgery)
Expected return: Second half
Ray has been throwing bullpen sessions twice a week in Arizona. The 2021 American League Cy Young winner has been pleased with his progress, but he's still expected to be out until the second half of the 2024 season. Ray was acquired from the Mariners in exchange for outfielder Mitch Haniger and right-hander Anthony DeSclafani on Jan. 5. (Last updated: April 18)

RHP Austin Warren (Tommy John surgery)
Expected return: June or July
Warren began his throwing progression on March 11 and has been throwing bullpen sessions twice a week in Arizona. The 28-year-old signed a one-year, $755,000 contract with the Giants on Feb. 14, though he will be unavailable for most of the first half while he recovers from Tommy John surgery. He could help boost the Giants' bullpen once he's healthy. He recorded a 3.55 ERA over 32 career appearances for the Angels from 2021-23. (Last updated: April 18)

LHP Ethan Small (moderate right oblique strain)
Expected return: Possibly late May
Small is currently throwing out to 90 feet and continuing his rehab in Arizona. He was acquired from the Brewers over the offseason and was in the running for a bullpen spot before sustaining the injury. Small was placed on the 60-day injured list on March 28, so he won't be eligible to return until May 27 at the earliest. (Last updated: April 8)
