Giants' Joel Peguero: Nursing tight hamstring
RotowirePeguero will be limited over the next week due to left hamstring tightness, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The injury is likely to delay Peguero's first spring training appearance but won't affect his Opening Day availability as long as he avoids a setback. Peguero pitched well down the stretch for theGiants in 2025, posting a 2.42 ERA and 17:8 K:BB over 22.1 innings. Assuming good health, he could fill a setup role this season in San Francisco.

RotowireBrennen (elbow) agreed to a one-year, major-league contract with theGiants on Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The 28-year-old was limited to 159 plate appearances between Triple-A and the majors last season with the Guardians, as he underwent Tommy John surgery in June and then required sports hernia surgery in September. A healthyBrennan should serve as a fourth outfielder for the Giants.

RotowireTheGiants placedWick (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The transaction was fully expected, as San Francisco signed Wick earlier this weekend knowing the right-hander would miss the entire 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 33-year-old's contract includes a club option for 2027, so the Giants will closely monitor his rehab before deciding whether to retain him this winter. Wick hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022 but was one of the top relievers in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball this past season, turning in a 1.13 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 58:13 K:BB over 47.2 innings.
... See More... See LessGiants' Landen Roupp: Throws first live BP of spring
RotowireRoupp (knee) completed his first live batting practice session of the spring Saturday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The right-hander did not make an appearance after Aug. 20 last year after taking a comebacker off his knee, but he appears to be all set for a normal camp without restrictions. While Roupp does not throw particularly hard and has a modest strikeout rate, he has achieved respectable results (3.80 ERA over 106.2 innings last season). He figures to be locked into a rotation spot for San Francisco to begin 2026.
... See More... See LessGiants' Jason Foley: Placed on 60-day IL
RotowireTheGiants placedFoley (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Friday.
Foley made just five appearances for the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate last year before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in May. He isn't expected to be ready to pitch until midseason, so he'll begin the year on the 60-day IL to create roster space for Rowan Wick (elbow).
... See More... See LessGiants' Rowan Wick: Inks deal with Giants
RotowireWick, who underwent Tommy John surgery in November, agreed to a one-year contract with theGiants on Friday that includes a club option for 2027, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The right-hander last pitched stateside at the Triple-A level in 2023 and had a 4.22 ERA across 64 appearances for the Cubs during the prior season, and he spent the past two years with the Yokohama Bay Stars of Nippon Professional Baseball. Wick pitched to a 1.13 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 58:13 K:BB across 47.2 innings last year in Japan, but he won't be available in 2026 while he rehabs from surgery.
... See More... See LessGiants' Ryan Walker: Found mechanical fix over winter
RotowireWalker believes he fixed a mechanical issue over the offseason that had affected his command last season, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Walker discovered that he had been over-rotating, which made it difficult to command his slider, in particular. That led to having to throw more sinkers for strikes, and because the hitter was able to guess what was coming, his sinker got hit harder. After finishing with a 1.91 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 32.1 percent strikeout rate in 2024, Walker regressed to a 4.11 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 22.6 percent strikeout rate in 2025. The 30-year-old is the favorite to open 2026 as theGiants' closer, and he could have a bounce-back season if his mechanics are in order.
... See More... See LessGiants' Sam Hentges: Completes bullpen session
RotowireHentges (shoulder/knee) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, per MLB.com.
Hentges missed the entire 2025 campaign after undergoing left shoulder surgery in September 2024. He also had arthroscopic right knee surgery last August before signing a one-year deal with San Francisco in November. The left-hander is expected to be ready during spring training and will look to return to form following his lengthy absence. Over 25 relief appearances for Cleveland in 2024, he posted a 3.04 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB across 23.2 innings.
... See More... See LessGiants' Casey Schmitt: Progressing in recovery
RotowireSchmitt (wrist) will continue his hitting progression for one more week and is then expected to be cleared for all baseball activities, per MLB.com.
Schmitt underwent surgery in early December to remove the carpal boss in his left wrist but is expected to be ready before Opening Day. The 26-year-old infielder slashed .237/.305/.401 with 12 home runs, 40 RBI and 34 runs scored across 348 plate appearances in 95 games last season. He's expected to play a utility role in 2026 after theGiants signed Luis Arraez during the offseason.
... See More... See LessGiants' Bryce Eldridge: Taking flyballs in left field
RotowireEldridge shagged flyballs in left field inGiants camp Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Eldridge has not seen time in the outfield since he played 26 games in right field between the Arizona Complex League and Single-A San Jose in 2023. A position switch from first base is not expected, but the Giants want him to add some defensive flexibility to his portfolio. The plan is for Eldridge to split playing time between DH and 1B with Rafael Devers.
... See More... See LessGiants' Randy Rodriguez: Placed on 60-day IL
RotowireTheGiants placedRodriguez (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for Luis Arraez, whose signing was officially announced Tuesday. Rodriguez underwent Tommy John surgery last September and will miss the entire 2026 season.
... See More... See LessGiants' Bryce Eldridge: Fully recovered from wrist surgery
RotowireEldridge said Tuesday that he's full-go at the start of spring training after surgery in October to remove a bone spur from his left wrist, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Eldridge got a late start to last season after hurting his wrist in spring training, and, after playing with the injury for several months, it was eventually decided an operation was needed. The 21-year-old is tentatively penciled in as theGiants' designated hitter, though he will have to earn that gig with a strong showing during Cactus League play. Eldridge went just 3-for-28 during his brief time with the Giants last season and slashed .260/.333/.510 with 25 homers over 102 games in the minors last year.
... See More... See LessGiants' Jared Oliva: Nets NRI pact from Giants
RotowireTheGiants signedOliva to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Oliva spent the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Nashville in the Brewers organization, putting up a .748 OPS with 11 homers and 57 stolen bases. The 30-year-old has not seen any action at the big-league level since 2021 and is likely ticketed for Triple-A Sacramento to begin the 2026 season.
... See More... See LessGiants' Michael Fulmer: Signs with Giants as NRI
RotowireTheGiants signedFulmer to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Fulmer got into three games in the majors in 2025 but spent most of the year at the Triple-A level, collecting a 3.39 ERA and 86:29 K:BB over 66.1 innings. The right-hander will turn 33 in March and will attempt to win one of the final spots in the San Francisco bullpen.
... See More... See LessGiants' Luis Arraez: Signs with San Francisco
RotowireArraez signed a one-year contract with theGiants on Saturday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports. Per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, the deal is for $12 million and is pending a physical.
Arraez played mostly at first base with San Diego last season, but he's expected to fill San Francisco's need for a starting second baseman in 2026. While the veteran infielder continued to display his bat-to-ball excellency last season -- he led the NL with 181 hits and stuck out just 21 times over 675 plate appearances -- he also posted a career-low .719 OPS with just eight homers while collecting 61 RBI, 66 runs and 11 stolen bases. The theft total was a career-best mark and was really the only area where Arraez made even a modest impact in fantasy outside of his .292 batting average. With San Francisco, Arraez should maintain an everyday spot in the lineup, and there's no reason to think he won't continue to hit for a high average. While his consistent lack of contributions elsewhere makes Arraez a mostly unexciting fantasy asset, his eventual return to eligibility at the keystone should prop his appeal up to some extent.

CBS Sports Mike AxisaGiants' Jancel Villarroel: Heads to Giants
RotowireVillarroel was traded from the Astros to theGiants in exchange for Kai-Wei Teng on Thursday, Chandler Rome and Andrew Baaggarly of The Athletic report.
The Giants needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster after signing Harrison Bader, which was the motivation for this deal. Villarroel reached High-A in 2025 and batted 276/.306/.362 in 15 games, and it's unclear if he'll hit enough to be a productive big leaguer given his lack of defensive value.
... See More... See LessGiants' Casey Schmitt: Beginning hitting progression
RotowireSchmitt (wrist) has begun a hitting progression after getting cleared last week, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Schmitt estimated that the grip strength in his left hand is back to 95 percent. He first got hurt all the way back on June 25 and played through the injury throughout the second half of last season, finally having surgery in December.
... See More... See LessGiants' Jung Hoo Lee: Moving to right field
RotowireLee will move to right field after theGiants signed Harrison Bader to patrol center field, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Lee grades out as a negative defensive center fielder by most metrics, and Bader on the other hand grades out spectacularly, which is especially important at Oracle Park. Drew Gilbert and Jerar Encarnacion could lose out on playing time following the Bader signing.
