Yunior Marte Yunior Marte Piggybacks Wilkinson on Friday
Sat, Sep 5, 2026, 10:22 AM
Marte struck out two and allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks across five innings of relief in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Mets.
Analysis: After tossing 4.2 innings of one-run ball as a starter in his MLB debut last Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader versus the Diamondbacks, Marte was deployed as part of a piggyback tandem with Wilkinson. Both hurlers tossed exactly 62 pitches, but Marte worked longer and more effectively than Wilkinson, who yielded seven runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks over three innings. Wilkinson has started in all four of his appearances with the Giants, but the Giants have limited him to less than four innings on three occasions. The Giants could continue to have Wilkinson and Marte work in piggyback arrangement when the fifth spot in the rotation comes up as the team looks to limit the workloads for both young pitchers down the stretch. |

Fri, Sep 4, 2026, 3:03 PM

Rodriguez won't be eligible to be reinstated until after the end of the regular season, so his 2026 campaign can safely be considered finished since San Francisco is 25 games under. 500. He played in 22 games in his first taste of the majors this year and posted a .235/.316/.412 slash line with two homers and one steal in 58 plate appearances. |

Analysis: On the shelf since Aug. 24 due to a right knee bone bruise, Bericoto is eligible for activation at any point, but he looks like he still has a few more checkpoints to hit in his rehab program before rejoining the Giants.
