Matt Wilkinson Matt Wilkinson Fires five scoreless innings Sunday
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 10:35 PM
Wilkinson did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three hits and no walks over five scoreless innings against the Dodgers. He struck out six.
Analysis: Wilkinson silenced the Dodgers offense, spinning five shutout innings before departing at 76 pitches (51 strikes). Sunday marked the rookie's first start since Sept. 4, as his previous two outings came from the bullpen. In seven appearances (five starts), the southpaw owns a 1-3 record with a 3.65 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB in 24.2 frames. Should Wilkinson remain in the rotation, he's lined up to start Saturday in a rematch with Los Angeles. |

Lee (groin) exited Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers in the seventh inning, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Lee fouled a ball off his groin area earlier in the contest, and he was ultimately replaced by Drew Gilbert in the outfield prior to the beginning of the bottom of the seventh frame. Lee will likely undergo further evaluation, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being. |

Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 3:52 PM
The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Philip Abner Philip Abner Demoted Sunday
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 3:45 PM
The Giants optioned Abner to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: The left-hander pitched the past two days against the Dodgers and will lose his place in the big-league bullpen after giving up six runs (five earned) on six hits and two walks. Prior to those two appearances, Abner had been pitching pretty well for the Giants across multiple stints in the majors with a 1.93 ERA and 1.14 WHIP despite a 5:7 K:BB across his previous 14 innings. |

He recorded his second multi-hit effort of the month, during which he's batting .177 with eight RBI, four runs scored and a home run in 65 plate appearances. On the year, the 28-year-old is slashing .276/.318/.404 with 65 runs scored, 57 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 10 long balls across 576 plate appearances. |

Matt Wilkinson Matt Wilkinson Drawing start Sunday
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 8:35 AM
Wilkinson is slated to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Wilkinson had made his previous two appearances out of the bullpen, but he'll draw the start in Sunday's series finale after the Giants elected to expand their rotation to six men this week. The rookie left-hander made a six-inning start as recently as Aug. 29 and has tossed at least 26 pitches in all three of his appearances thus far in September, so he should be capable of offering the Giants decent length. |

Bryce Eldridge Bryce Eldridge In concussion protocol
Sat, Sep 19, 2026, 11:26 PM
Eldridge (head) is in concussion protocol and won't play Sunday against the Dodgers, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: The rookie first baseman/DH reportedly bumped his head at the team hotel, resulting in a laceration and evidently concussion symptoms. He will need to clear protocol in order to play again this year. Eldridge has been a bright spot in a mostly gloomy season for San Francisco, hitting 17 homers with an .825 OPS across 448 plate appearances. |

Analysis: The lefty is ready to return from a forearm strain after a lone rehab outing with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. Hentges, who owns a 3.27 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with 10 holds in 40 relief appearances with the Giants this season, replaces Reiver Sanmartin (oblique) on the active roster. |

Sat, Sep 19, 2026, 6:07 PM
The Giants placed Sanmartin on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Sept. 17, with a right oblique strain, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Sanmartin pitched well during his latest stint in the majors, posting a 1.54 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 11.2 innings spanning 14 appearances after his Aug. 20 recall.

The southpaw began a rehab assignment with Sacramento on Friday, throwing nine of his 14 pitches for strikes. He's running out of time to return to the big leagues this season, as San Francisco has already been eliminated from postseason contention. |

Analysis: Furman will be eligible to return from the IL for San Francisco's final two regular-season games, but with the Giants out of the race for a wild-card spot, they likely won't be in a rush to bring him back. Victor Bericoto (knee) was activated from the injured list to take Furman's place on the 28-man roster. |

Duncan Davitt Duncan Davitt Promoted to Giants
Fri, Sep 18, 2026, 7:54 PM
The Giants recalled Davitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
Analysis: Davitt will join the big-league roster to replace Logan Webb, who landed on the injured list Friday with a finger blister. Davitt has given up one run in two MLB innings this season with the White Sox and has struggled to a 5.97 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 69.1 frames at the Triple-A level. |

Logan Webb Logan Webb Placed on IL
Fri, Sep 18, 2026, 7:49 PM
The Giants placed Webb on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right middle finger blister, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Manager Tony Vitello said last weekend that the Giants would consider shutting Webb down after he allowed 16 earned runs in 13 innings over his last three starts. With the team out of the playoff chase and Webb now dealing with a blister, the 29-year-old's season will officially come to an early end. He'll finish 2026 with a 4.31 ERA -- his worst mark since 2020 -- and a 1.17 WHIP across 160.2 innings. Duncan Davitt was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. |

Drew Gilbert Drew Gilbert Cracks two-run shot in win
Thu, Sep 17, 2026, 10:56 AM
Gilbert went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Gilbert pinch hit in the 10th inning and delivered as the leadoff hitter, launching a two-run homer to center field to give San Francisco a 6-4 lead. The 25-year-old outfielder has appeared in each of the Giants' last seven games, batting .286 with five runs scored, four RBI, two home runs and a stolen base in 16 plate appearances during that span. He figures to continue seeing regular opportunities for the injury-riddled Giants, who have already been eliminated from playoff contention. |

Joel Kuhnel Joel Kuhnel Makes history with eighth save
Wed, Sep 16, 2026, 6:22 PM
Kuhnel gave up an unearned run on two walks in the 10th inning Wednesday to record his eighth save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: It was his second save in six appearances for the Giants since being claimed off waivers from the Brewers, although Kuhnel couldn't stop the phantom runner from crossing the plate in the 10th. In the process, the 31-year-old right-hander became the first player in MLB history to record multiple saves for three different teams in the same season, after he picked up four for the A's and two for Milwaukee earlier in the year. Both Dylan Smith and Trent Harris had pitched earlier in the contest, with Harris getting a hold and Smith blowing the save in the ninth, so the closing picture in San Francisco remains as muddled as ever. |

Jonah Cox Jonah Cox Busy on basepaths Wednesday
Wed, Sep 16, 2026, 6:16 PM
Cox went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: The rookie outfielder had an impressive afternoon as the leadoff hitter for the Giants, and Cox is up to 13 steals in his first 53 big-league contests to go along with a .294/.333/.445 slash line, four homers, 13 RBI and 24 runs. Speed has always been his calling card -- he swiped more than 50 bags in both 2024 and 2025 in the minors -- but he's showing he can be more than a one-dimensional player at the top level. |

Anthony Molina Anthony Molina Sharp in no-decision Wednesday
Wed, Sep 16, 2026, 6:12 PM
Molina didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Cardinals, allowing two hits and a walk over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Analysis: The right-hander fell just short of his first career quality start, getting lifted after 82 pitches (57 strikes) with the Giants ahead 1-0, but both bullpens had trouble closing the door in the late innings. It was a strong rebound from Molina after he got tagged for seven runs in three frames in his last outing, and since shifting into the rotation in late August he's produced a 4.82 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB over 18.2 innings. Molina is scheduled to make what could be his final start of the season at home early next week against the Twins. |
