Winn threw two scoreless innings with four strikeouts and two hits, picking up the win during Saturday's 7-3 win over the Royals in Cactus League play.
Winn has made two appearances (one start) this spring, covering three scoreless innings while collecting five strikeouts. The 26-year-old made 12 starts last season before undergoing season-ending ulnar transposition surgery in late July. Winn could begin the season in the bullpen, as he appears to be a long shot for the fifth-starter role while competing with Hayden Birdsong, Kyle Harrison and Landen Roupp.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Looks sharp in spring debut
Rotowire
Winn threw a scoreless inning with a strikeout and a walk in his spring debut in Sunday's win over the Angels.
Winn began last season in the starting rotation but managed only 12 starts before undergoing season-ending ulnar transposition surgery in late July. It looks like he's back to full speed, but his role for 2025 isn't clear. He'll compete for a rotation spot but appears to be a long shot, so he could begin the season in the bullpen or the minors.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Competing for rotation spot
Rotowire
Winn (elbow) has been throwing in spring training but hasn't appeared in an exhibition game. He's been at full speed this spring and is getting stretched back out as a starter, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Bay Area reports.
Winn began last season in the starting rotation but managed only 12 starts before being diagnosed with a nerve issue in his elbow. He underwent season-ending ulnar transposition surgery in late July. His role for 2025 isn't clear as he'll likely be competing for a rotation spot but could be moved to long relief. He could also begin the season in the minors in order to re-establish himself as a starter.
Giants' Keaton Winn: Set for season-ending surgery
Rotowire
Winn is scheduled to undergo a season-ending ulnar nerve transposition procedure Monday on his right elbow, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Winn was initially placed on the 15-day injured list June 22 due to a nerve issue in his right elbow. He began his rehab program by throwing bullpen sessions in early July, but he was shut down from throwing Monday after experiencing additional discomfort and has now been recommended for surgery. Winn will shift his focus to getting healthy for spring training, but he'll finish the 2024 campaign with a 3-8 record, 7.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 48:20 K:BB across 55.1 innings.

Rotowire
The Giants transferred Winn (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Shut down from throwing
Rotowire
Winn (elbow) has been shut down from throwing after experiencing discomfort in his elbow over the weekend, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Winn has been out since June 22 with a nerve issue in his right elbow and he appears to have suffered a setback in his recovery. The timeline for the right-hander's return is unclear at this point and with just over two months remaining in the season, it's possible that the Giants could opt to shut him down completely if his issues persist.
Giants' Keaton Winn: Throwing live bullpen Saturday
Rotowire
Winn (elbow) is scheduled to throw a live bullpen session Saturday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Winn landed on the injured list June 22 due to a nerve issue in his right elbow. Saturday's bullpen is a positive step for the 26-year-old righty, but his rehab program will likely keep him out of major-league action until after the All-Star break. Winn has a 3-8 record over 12 starts with a 7.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 48:20 K:BB across 55.1 innings this season.
Giants' Keaton Winn: Dealing with nerve issue in elbow
Rotowire
Winn will be shut down for seven days after an MRI on Monday determined that his right elbow injury is nerve-related, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
While it's good news that Winn doesn't have any structural damage in his elbow, he's still going to require some extended down time, especially since he's on the 15-day injured list for a second time this season with an arm-related issue. Since he won't begin a throwing program until late June, it's probably safe to rule Winn out at least through the All-Star break.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Placed on IL
Rotowire
The Giants placed Winn on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Winn returns to the IL for the second time this season on account of an arm issue. He likely suffered the elbow injury during his start in the Giants' 6-5 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday, when he allowed five earned runs in just 2.2 innings. The Giants haven't yet named a replacement in the rotation for Winn, who holds a 3-8 record and 7.16 ERA through his 12 starts.
Winn (3-8) took the loss against the Cardinals on Thursday, allowing five runs on five hits and one walk over 2.2 innings while striking out two.
Winn ran into trouble immediately, allowing a walk and a hit in the first two at-bats before going on to surrender three runs in the opening frame. He would go 1-2-3 through the second inning but once again failed to retire the first two batters to begin the third, leading to another two runs coming home for St. Louis. The right-hander has now surrendered five or more runs in five of his last six starts and has lost his last five decisions (spanning six starts). He currently holds a 10.38 ERA this month (three starts) after posting an 18.36 ERA through three starts in May.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Logs quality start in no-decision
Rotowire
Winn did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Angels, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts over six innings.
Winn surrendered a solo home run to Mickey Moniak in the second inning then allowed a game-tying two-run homer to Logan O'Hoppe in the sixth. While he stumbled late, Winn registered 17 swinging strikes on 91 pitches and logged his first quality start since May 28. On the season, Winn now owns a 6.66 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 46:19 K:BB in 11 starts and tentatively lines up to face the Cardinals next week.
Winn (3-7) suffered the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Rangers. He struck out seven.
At least Winn was efficient in needing just 69 pitches while allowing eight baserunners and striking out seven. Otherwise, there wasn't much else good to glean from his start. He allowed five runs in the first two innings, then was pulled in the fifth after allowing a walk and a double, with both runners eventually coming in to score to leave him with a final line of seven runs allowed. The other positive is that Winn was able to return to the hill after landing on the IL with the dreaded forearm strain in mid-May. However, it was more of the same as he had allowed 17 runs in three starts spanning 8.1 innings prior to landing on the injured list. If Winn is able to maintain his spot in the rotation, his next start is tentatively slated to take place next weekend when the Giants host the Angels.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Activated for Sunday's start
Rotowire
Winn (forearm) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Rangers on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The right-hander landed on the shelf in mid-May with a forearm strain, but he'll rejoin the Giants' rotation after being sidelined for less than a month. Winn delivered three straight quality starts in April but struggled in his final three outings before going to the injured list with 17 runs allowed and a 5:5 K:BB over 8.1 innings.

Giants' Keaton Winn: Returning Sunday
Rotowire
Winn (forearm) will return from the 15-day injured list and start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
A right forearm strain has kept Winn sidelined since mid-May, though he made a rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, giving up one run on two hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 3.2 innings. The 26-year-old righty allowed 17 earned runs in just 8.1 frames across his last three outings before going on the IL, and it's unclear whether or not he'll be working under any limitations during his first start back.
