Giants Promote Bryce Eldridge to Triple-A Sacramento

The San Francisco Giants have promoted top prospect Bryce Eldridge, a 20-year-old first baseman, from Double-A Richmond to Triple-A Sacramento as the team seeks solutions for ongoing struggles at first base. Eldridge, who missed the early part of the season due to a hand injury, posted a .280/.350/.512 slash line with seven home runs and 20 RBIs in 34 Double-A games. Ranked 45th overall among MLB prospects by ESPN, Eldridge is noted for his power hitting, though his defensive skills at first base continue to develop. Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey described the situation as 'fluid,' suggesting circumstances could prompt an accelerated MLB debut if Eldridge maintains strong performance. The Giants have faced injuries and underperformance at first base, providing a clear opportunity for Eldridge. Team leadership emphasized their commitment to supporting Eldridge's development with the goal of strengthening the major league roster.
