With Tyler Mahle’s return to the Giants’ rotation, Adrian Houser has been moved to the bullpen, despite his initial objections. The 33-year-old right-hander has struggled this season, posting a 5.73 ERA and allowing significant damage from left-handed hitters. Manager Tony Vitello acknowledged Houser’s desire to improve, while the team believes his issues stem from pitch selection rather than mechanics. Houser remains determined to prove he belongs in the starting rotation, emphasizing his past successes as a starter.
