The Giants announced that DeSclafani exited his start Wednesday against the Mets due to right ankle discomfort, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports. He struck out a batter over 1.1 scoreless innings and gave up a hit and issued a walk before departing.
The initial diagnosis is a welcome one for DeSclafani, who isn't dealing with any apparent setback related to the right shoulder issue that forced him to miss one turn through the rotation earlier this month. That being said, the extent of his ankle issue isn't known, and DeSclafani could be subject to additional follow-up tests before the Giants have an idea whether he'll be fit to make his next start. He tentatively lines up for a rematch with the Mets at Citi Field next week.
