Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Matt Gage, 33-year-old left-handed relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, has emerged as a valuable bullpen asset in 2026. He earned his first career save on May 17 against the Athletics with a perfect inning. Through 23 appearances and 19.1 innings, Gage maintains a 1.40 ERA with a 3-1 record and 5 holds. He has not allowed an earned run in his last 11 appearances, demonstrating exceptional consistency. His recent performance includes a win on May 12 against the Dodgers with 1.2 scoreless innings. Gage is being considered for potential closer committee duties as the Giants lack a full-time closer.
