San Francisco Giants

Carson Whisenhunt

SP

It had already been reported that Whisenhunt would have surgery to repair his left elbow UCL, and now it's been revealed that he will have a full Tommy John repair. The left-hander is likely to be sidelined until the 2028 campaign.

Marcelo Mayer

2B

Mayer had seemed close to returning from his left forearm stress reaction in late August, only to suffer a setback when he developed a bone bruise in his right foot. Vitello noted that Mayer is close to resuming his rehab assignment, though he didn't offer a specific date. Acquired from the Red Sox at the trade deadline, Mayer will be making his Giants debut when he sees action.

JT Brubaker

RP

Brubaker is working his way back from bruised ribs, which have kept him on the injured list since Aug. 24. He'll likely require a brief minor-league rehab assignment before making his return to the San Francisco bullpen.

Jesus Rodriguez

C

The 24-year-old was placed on the injured list at the start of August due to right elbow neuritis, and he recently suffered a setback after starting up a minor-league rehab assignment. 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.

Victor Bericoto

LF

After being placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 24 with a bone bruise in his right knee, Bericoto returned to game action in Sacramento's 1-0 loss to Las Vegas on Wednesday, going 0-for-4. He reached base safely Thursday, hitting a leadoff single in the sixth inning before coming around to score. The 24-year-old slashed .244/.253/.419 with 12 RBI, seven runs scored, four long balls and a stolen base across 87 big-league plate appearances before landing on the IL.
