The San Francisco Giants face a need for rotation depth entering the offseason after losing four young starting pitchers to Tommy John surgery. With only three games remaining in the regular season, the club is projected to have Logan Webb, Landen Roupp, and Adrian Houser in their rotation next year, leaving at least two open starting spots.

While potentially pursuing higher-profile options, the front office is expected to seek affordable, short-term additions to round out the rotation. Free agent pitcher Michael Lorenzen is highlighted as a budget target after posting a 7.21 ERA across stints with the Colorado Rockies and Toronto Blue Jays.
