On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the latest with the San Francisco Giants. Prior to Monday's series opener with the Milwaukee Brewers, Alex Wood was placed on the COVID-19 IL, and Johnny Cueto was placed on the COVID-19 protocol list. Cueto is ill but has tested negative for COVID-19. The Giants cannot afford to lose both starters for an extended period. Their rotation has been wobbly lately anyway, and losing 40% of their starting staff as September rolls in does not bode well. However, the team claimed Jose Quintana off waivers yesterday, and he could spot start. The Giants lost the game against Corbin Burnes and the Brewers, a team that nobody would want to face in October. Burnes completely shut the Giants down, and he's one of three aces on their staff. The Giants had some chances, but they hit into some very bad luck throughout the course of the game, including at some critical moments.
