Grant McCray makes season debut as Bericoto placed on IL
This afternoon, the San Francisco Giants announced that they placed Victor Bericoto on the 10-day IL “with an oblique strain” and taking his spot on the roster is 25-year old Grant McCray, in the majors for the first time in 2026. McCray had surgery back in June to repair his left hamate bone and up […]
Casey Schmitt and the Missing Walks
We may never find out what Casey Schmitt thinks about his aversion to walks. Is it a philosophical thing? Instinct? Last night, he finally drew a walk for the first time since May 24th. In his post-game interview with NBC Sports Bay Area, there was an opportunity for a question about his approach to hitting […]

Bryce splash!
A Giant has finally splashed down into McCovey Cove. The 109th baseball to be baptized in the icy Bay waters was the first by a San Francisco Giant in 2026, and the first of Bryce Eldridge’s career. It was a doozy too. Well…a doozy compared to recent Splash Hits. Measured on the Bondsian Scale, Eldridge’s […]
7/9 Gamethread: Giants vs. Rockies
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Colorado Rockies to Oracle Park tonight to begin a four-game series. As of the time this is being written, the Giants have not yet announced a starting pitcher for tonight’s game. Good old element of surprise tactic. You can check out the comments below for more up to date […]
Series Preview: The Battle for Last Place Continues
Just six days ago, I mentioned that the last time the Giants were in last place in the month of July wasn’t that long ago: 2019. Of course, the situation today doesn’t resemble the situation at that time. The 2026 Giants were expected to be good — or, at worst, in the running for “decent” […]
Thursday BP: Will the Giants be in last place after this weekend?
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants welcome the Colorado Rockies to Oracle Park tonight to begin a four-game series. Because that’s what everyone wanted after a weekend series at Coors Field last week. Four more games! I am, of course, kidding. Literally no one wants this, probably not even the players on either […]
Dylan Cease takes no-hit bid into 9th as Blue Jays crush Giants
Baseball has a funny way of sticking with you. Some plays, some moments, some games, some players, just latch onto certain segments of your brain and I’m not fit to diagnose why. I’ve consumed thousands and thousands of San Francisco Giants games in my life. Some through paper box scores, and others through digital ones; […]

Giants place Jonah Cox on the 10-Day IL, call up Jesús Rodríguez
The San Francisco Giants made a roster move on Wednesday, ahead of their series finale matinee against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Wednesday BP: Who should the Giants not consider trading?
Good morning, baseball fans! The baseball world seems to believe that the San Francisco Giants will be sellers at the trade deadline, with everyone on the team receiving speculation in some form or another. Personally, I don’t know if I think that they will actually do that, even if they probably should. This organization rarely […]
7/7 Gamethread: Giants vs. Blue Jays
The San Francisco Giants continue this three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays tonight from Oracle Park.

7 Giants land on ESPN’s top 100 trade value list
Around next Wednesday, after this weekend’s MLB Draft and next week’s All-Star Game, we’ll firmly be in trade rumors season with just 27 days left until the deadline. As one of the worst teams in professional sports this year, the Giants will be sellers this year, and while the team is so bad it’s reasonable […]
Tuesday BP: Injury updates
On Monday, ahead of their entertaining blowout victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, the San Francisco Giants released a bunch of medical updates for their injured players. Perhaps most important is that third baseman Matt Chapman, who is dealing with an abdominal strain, was set to re-join the team on Monday, and will be re-evaluated. […]
Heliot Ramos, Landen Roupp lead Giants to rout over Blue Jays
May and June served as months to forget for Landen Roupp and Heliot Ramos. Roupp, following a brilliant March and April that generated All-Star buzz, struggled disastrously. After ending April with a 5-1 record and a 2.55 ERA, Roupp labored through 11 May and June starts, sporting a 5.87 ERA and walking 26 batters in […]

All Our Yesterdays: Giants-Blue Jays Series Preview
I just can’t wait until the end of the season to do the final analysis of the San Francisco Giants/Farhan Zaidi opting not to sign Kevin Gausman to an extension after the 2021 season. With the trade deadline less than a month away now and Robbie Ray almost certainly on the move, it’s begging to […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close today, so it’s time to take a look back at the week that was and pick our favorite highlights of the week. I think it should come as no surprise to anyone that my favorite highlight of the week was […]
Giants Luis Arráez, Logan Webb named to National League All-Star team
The San Francisco Giants have been arguably the worst team in the National League this year, but that doesn’t mean they’re stuck with a token All-Star. Instead, the team received a pair of selections on Saturday when the 2026 MLB All-Star rosters were revealed. One of those players was an obvious selection: second baseman Luis […]
