  • Nate Furman 2B | SF

    Giants' Nate Furman: Back in big leagues

    The Giants recalled Furman from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Furman is back up with the Giants after being demoted Aug. 14. He'll man second base and bat sixth during Monday's series opener after San Francisco made a flurry of roster moves, which included placing Willy Adames (elbow) on the injured list and Bryce Eldridge (personal) on the bereavement list.

  • Giants' Victor Bericoto: Lands on IL

    Bericoto was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a bone bruise in his right knee, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Bericoto suffered a knee injury during Sunday's matchup and was forced from the game, and the team has since determined that he'll require a trip to the injured list. Grant McCray, who was promoted Monday, and Jonah Cox could see more opportunities in the corner outfield spots with Bericoto out of commission.

  • Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Moved to bereavement list

    The Giants placed Eldridge (personal) on the bereavement list Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    As expected, the Giants deactivated Eldridge after he left the team to attend his grandfather's funeral in Virginia. Eldridge is expected to be away from the Giants for their entire three-game series against the Reds before rejoining the team ahead of Thursday's series opener versus the Diamondbacks.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Lands on 10-day IL

    Adames was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left elbow sprain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Adames picked up the injury during Sunday's series finale against Boston, and it'll cost him at least the next 10 days. The Giants will presumably turn to Christian Koss and Osleivis Basabe at shortstop while Adames is on the mend. The club has classified Adames' injury as a moderate sprain, and he'll likely need longer than the 10-day minimum before being activated, per Rubin.

  • Justin Steele SP | CHC

    Cubs' Justin Steele: Closing in on rehab assignment

    Steele (elbow) is hoping to start a rehab assignment after throwing two more live bullpen sessions, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Steele has been gradually increasing the frequency and intensity of his throwing sessions since he was cleared to start playing catch earlier this month. He's scheduled for two more live batting practice sessions, after which he'll be re-evaluated before potentially sent out on a rehab appearance. Steele hasn't pitched since April 7, 2025 after undergoing UCL revision surgery on his left elbow one month later.

  • Joe Musgrove SP | SD

    Padres' Joe Musgrove: Making next rehab start Thursday

    Musgrove (elbow) will make his next rehab start Thursday at Triple-A El Paso, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    As anticipated, Musgrove will need to make another start in the minors before being activated from the 60-day injured list. He fired 70 pitches during his previous rehab outing Aug. 14, so he'll presumably build on that count Thursday in what should be his final appearance on the farm. If all goes according to plan, he'll be lined up to make his first big-league appearance since 2024 during the first week of September.

  • Nick Pivetta SP | SD

    Padres' Nick Pivetta: Resuming rehab assignment this week

    Pivetta (forearm) will resume a rehab assignment with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Pivetta exited his first rehab appearance earlier this month when he felt tightness in his right elbow, but he's bounced back quickly and is ready to rejoin an affiliate for game action. The veteran right-hander has been out since mid-April due to a flexor strain, and given the length of his absence, he'll need multiple starts in the minors before rejoining the San Diego rotation.

  • Padres' Lucas Giolito: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Padres transferred Giolito (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    Giolito initially landed on the IL on June 23 due to right elbow inflammation, and though he was able to begin a throwing progression a little over a week later, he seemed to have hit a speed bump shortly after the All-Star break. Since he's already on the shelf for more than 60 days, Monday's transaction won't affect Giolito's timeline to return, which remains uncertain. Giolito will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to outfielder Dustin Harris, whose contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso.

  • Luis Rengifo LF | SD

    Padres' Luis Rengifo: Taking seat Monday

    Rengifo is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Pirates.

    Rengifo had made seven consecutive starts, but he'll take a seat as the Padres open up a series against Pittsburgh. Dustin Harris -- who was added to the roster earlier Monday -- will start in left field.

  • Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Padres optioned Song to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

    The move corresponds with the Padres selecting Dustin Harris' contract from El Paso. Song has been with the big club since early May as a utility infielder and has a .202/.305/.263 slash line with 12 steals (in 16 attempts), one home run and 15 RBI over 134 plate appearances. He should operate as an everyday starter in Triple-A and could return to the majors should the Padres require infield depth.
