What’s next for Giants prospect Bryce Eldridge after latest promotion

2 days ago | nbcsportsbayarea.com | Alex Pavlovic

SAN FRANCISCO -- Bryce Eldridge is one of the best power hitters in the minor leagues. He also might be the prospect who is best at packing his bags. Eldridge has played 150 games over the last two seasons and been promoted four times, including twice to Triple-A. With the latest move, there's only one more to make, and that will put him with the Giants in the big leagues.
What are Giants' expectations for Encarnacion after return to lineup?

SAN FRANCISCO -- When Jerar Encarnación was lining balls all around Scottsdale Stadium this spring, he never could have imagined his 2025 debut coming with these kinds of expectations. Encarnación is a 27-year-old with just 58 big-league appearances and a .639 OPS over that time, but for several weeks, his activation from the injured list has been viewed by many as a potential game-changer for a lineup that's in a deep slump.
How Logan Webb adjusted after several rough Giants starts vs. Padres

3 days ago | nbcsportsbayarea.com | Alex Pavlovic

SAN FRANCISCO -- Last year, the San Diego Padres twice put 10 hits on Logan Webb's line. The first time he saw them this season, he gave up five runs on nine hits. Webb is one of the best pitchers in the world and has been since 2021, but the Padres have had his number, which isn't ideal given how often the Giants see them and the likelihood that they might need to edge them in the NL West standings to make the MLB playoffs.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A day after helping the Giants clinch their series in Miami, outfielder Luis Matos is headed back to the minors. The 23-year-old was the one to get optioned when outfielder Jerar Encarnacion was activated from the IL on Monday. Matos hit a three-run homer to lead the way for a struggling lineup on Sunday, but overall, he's hitting .167 with a .572 OPS.

BOX SCORESAN FRANCISCO -- The first game of June would have fit right in with just about every game in May. The Giants failed to score more than four runs for a 14th consecutive game, their longest streak since 1976, but the pitching was once again good enough to clinch a victory. Luis Matos hit a three-run blast and Hayden Birdsong and the bullpen did the rest as the Giants won 4-2, escaping Miami with a series win over the last-place Marlins.
Giants observations: Robbie Ray gem wasted in shutout loss to Marlins

5 days ago | nbcsportsbayarea.com | Alex Pavlovic

BOX SCORESAN FRANCISCO -- The odds are pretty good that Robbie Ray will be named National League Pitcher of the Month for May. The left-hander posted a 1.38 ERA in six starts, and when he walked off the mound on Saturday in Miami, he led the league in innings pitched this month. Ray went 4-1 in May, but it very easily could have been 6-0. For the second time in his last three starts, Ray dominated but watched the lineup struggle.
Giants observations: Kyle Harrison shines in shutout win vs. Marlins

BOX SCORESAN FRANCISCO -- The day off in Miami didn't do much to jumpstart the offense, but the Giants did get back in the win column Friday. Kyle Harrison threw five dominant innings in his second start of the year and the Giants did just enough to pull away from the last-place Marlins, winning 2-0. Miami right-hander Cal Quantrill entered with an ERA north of six, but he always has pitched well against the Giants, and they came in on a lengthy cold streak.
Evaluating good, bad for Giants through first third of 2025 MLB season

1 week ago | nbcsportsbayarea.com | Alex Pavlovic

SAN FRANCISCO -- At the same time as the Giants were failing to get a runner in from third on Wednesday in Detroit, the Los Angeles Dodgers were watching their bullpen implode in Cleveland. It turned into a five-loss day for the National League West, which has come back to earth in May. Early on, it looked like the division could put four teams in the National League playoff field, but the Dodgers (13-12) are the only team in the West with a winning record in May.
