The move was made by San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin after the team had struggled over their last 23 games.

To the surprise of many people, the San Francisco Giants remain right in the mix with the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres in the National League West heading into June. Only three games behind the Dodgers in the division and a half-game behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the final wild card spot, the Giants are within striking distance and should be looking to acquire some upgrades to keep pushing the team forward. If they want to remain within striking distance and make the postseason, they need to find some answers offensively.

The San Francisco Giants designated veteran first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. In addition, catcher Sam Huff was also DFA'd and infielder Christian Koss was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento after Tuesday's game.

The San Francisco Giants have cooled off a little bit since a hot start to the 2025 season. This is something they should look to address at the trade deadline. Zachary D. Rymer proposed the idea of them trading for Jarren Duran, who isn't much of a power threat, but could provide a jolt offensively. "Duran is about as good as it gets in this respect, and his line-drive swing might fit even better at Oracle Park than it does at Fenway Park."

The San Diego Padres narrowly escaped the San Francisco Giants, 1-0, on Monday evening, but it wasn't without a little drama between Giants designated hitter Wilmer Flores and Friars starting pitcher Stephen Kolek. After Kolek hit Flores on the hand in the bottom of the third inning, Flores made it clear through yelling and an elongated walk to first base that he wasn't happy with Kolek pitching up and in.

Manny Machado had four hits, including a two-run single that tied the score with two outs in the ninth inning, and Jake Cronenworth drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th as the San Diego Padres rallied past the San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Tuesday night. One day after winning the series opener 1-0 in 10 innings, the Padres needed extras again. Giants closer Camilo Doval walked Fernando Tatis Jr. and Luis Arraez with two outs in the ninth to load the bases for Machado, who finished 4 for 4.

After a tough start to the week against the Detroit Tigers, the San Francisco Giants bounced back nicely to win a road series against the Miami Marlins, wrapping up a lengthy nine-game road trip. With the Giants now heading into June, as their record indicates, they have been one of the best teams in the National League so far in 2025. This is a bit of a surprise when looking at the roster and how the team performed last year, but the unit has responded well to the change of culture led by the new president of baseball operations Buster Posey. San Francisco has been built on good pitching and defense, but their lineup has also shown some timely hitting with a couple of surprise players performing well.

Baseball, the sport many men at San Quentin started playing as innocent kids on playgrounds, now takes on a deeper meaning as men in a prison yard.

Athletics rookie Jacob Wilson explained why San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb has been the toughest at-bat of his young MLB career.

One day after the San Francisco Giants sent a message that offensive help could soon be on the way, the San Diego Padres hope their own prospect can contribute again as they go for a third straight road win on Wednesday night. Mired in an offensive slump that dates back to mid-May, the Giants wasted a second consecutive gem from their starting pitcher Tuesday in a 3-2 loss in 10 innings to their National League West rival. Coming close to duplicating Logan Webb's eight shutout innings in a 1-0, 10-inning defeat in the series opener, Landen Roupp shut out the Padres for 6 1/3 innings in the loss on Tuesday.

In the midst of a frigid offensive stretch, the Giants promoted top prospect Bryce Eldridge from Double-A Richmond to Triple-A Sacramento. The next step, naturally, is the majors — a step Eldridge could conceivably take this year. “I think all of these decisions and conversations are fluid,” said president of baseball operations Buster Posey. During his conversation with beat reporters on Tuesday, Posey appeared more open to the idea of Eldridge making his major-league debut compared to last December.

Manny Machado had four hits, including a two-run single that tied the score with two outs in the ninth inning, and Jake Cronenworth drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th as the San Diego Padres rallied past the San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Tuesday night. One day after winning the series opener 1-0 in 10 innings, the Padres needed extras again. Giants closer Camilo Doval walked Fernando Tatis Jr. and Luis Arraez with two outs in the ninth to load the bases for Machado, who finished 4 for 4.

Camilo Doval blew his first save since re-entering the closer role and allowed his first earned runs since April 7 as the Giants fell to the San Diego Padres, 3-2, in 10 innings on Tuesday night at Oracle Park. The blown save erased a great start by Landen Roupp, who pitched 6 1/3 shutout innings and lowered his ERA on the season to 3.18. Heliot Ramos gave the Giants a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning with a two-run shot to center field, a drive he admired for several seconds before flipping his bat and beginning to jog the bases.

The Giants are promoting first baseman Bryce Eldridge, the top prospect in their organization, from Double-A Richmond to Triple-A Sacramento, a source confirmed to this news organization. Eldridge, 20, is currently hitting .280/.350/.512 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs over 34 games for the Richmond Flying Squirrels. Eldridge's promotion to Sacramento comes as the Giants are in the midst of a collective cold spell offensively, scoring only 30 runs over their last 15 games.
