Beck was cleared to resume full baseball activities May 1, but the Giants have been having him proceed cautiously with his ramp-up program after he required surgery March 3 to address an upper right arm aneurysm. After weeks of steadily increasing his throwing distance off flat ground, Beck was finally cleared to advance to mound work. Given the pace of his rehab thus far, Beck wouldn't seem likely to make it back from the 60-day injured list until after the All-Star break.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Leg up on rotation spot?
Rotowire
Giants manager Bob Melvin indicated Tuesday that Beck is in good position to win one of the spots in the rotation, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beck, 27, pitched mostly in relief for the Giants in 2023, collecting a 3.92 ERA and 68:21 K:BB over 85 innings covering 33 appearances (three starts). He's mostly been a starter in the minors, though, and it sounds like he'll get a chance to be part of the Giants' rotation at least until Alex Cobb (hip) and Robbie Ray (elbow) are ready. Keaton Winn is the other likely candidate to slide in behind Logan Webb, Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison.
