San Francisco's rotation has been a juggling act for the much of the season, and several question marks linger as the team enters their stretch run. Madison Bumgarner (LHP, SF) has been dominant as the staff's anchor and new acquisition Mike Leake (RHP, SF) looks to be on track after a PQS-5 return from the DL (hamstring) on August 22.
