Willy Adames Fully Cleared from Elbow Injury, Set for Normal Offseason

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames (elbow) has been fully cleared to begin his normal offseason workout program, per Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News. Adames was placed on the injured list in late August due to a left elbow sprain and wound up missing the remainder of the 2026 regular season. It was a down year for the 31-year-old before the injury, hitting .230/.289/.424 with 21 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 505 plate appearances. Adames posted a single-digit (8.9%) barrel rate for the first time since 2020, and his 38.8% hard-hit rate was his worst since 2019. The veteran may have been attempting to play through the elbow ailment before eventually going on the IL, which could explain some of his struggles. With a fully healthy offseason, Adames could be poised for a bounce-back campaign in 2027.

Landen Roupp Shut Down for Remainder of 2026

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp told reporters on Tuesday that his 2026 season is over, per Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News. Per delos Santos, Roupp feels fine physically, but is being shut down because he has already blown past his previous career high in innings pitched. Across 155 innings (29 starts) this year, the 28-year-old recorded a 9-14 record with a 4.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 143 strikeouts. Roupp limits power (0.64 HR/9), which has helped him develop into a capable innings eater for fantasy managers. However, the right-hander's production upside is limited by his middling strikeout rate (21.8%) and his poor walk rate (11.4%). Between his penchant for allowing walks and generating ground balls, Roupp is unlikely to be an asset in the WHIP category without a change in his approach on the mound.

Jung Hoo Lee Placed on 10-Day Injured List with Groin Contusion

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a groin contusion, per Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News. With less than 10 days remaining in the regular season, Lee's 2026 campaign is over. Across 579 plate appearances for the year, Lee hit .276/.320/.404 with 10 home runs, 57 RBI, 65 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases. The 28-year-old has a firm ceiling on his power, as he owns just a 3.1% barrel rate and a 33% hard-hit rate for his career. However, Lee struck out in fewer than 10% of his plate appearances this season and should continue to provide fantasy managers with a solid batting average and run production in 2027. With Lee sidelined, Giants outfielder Bo Davidson could take over as the team's everyday right fielder.

Willy Adames Returns to Baseball Activities

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames (elbow) fielded ground balls and took batting practice on Monday, per Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News. Adames has been sidelined since late August by an elbow injury and is unlikely to play again in 2026. However, the 31-year-old appears to be making progress and should have a relatively normal offseason heading into 2027. Across 505 plate appearances in 2026, Adames hit .230/.289/.424 with 21 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored, and six stolen bases. The veteran shortstop's barrel (8.9%) and hard-hit (38.8%) rates were both his worst since the 2019 season. Adames also graded out as one of the worst defensive shortstops in MLB, which is usually one of the strengths of his game. If the elbow injury was impacting his performance before he was finally placed on the injured list, Adames could be a worthy buy-low target for fantasy managers in 2027.

Bryce Eldridge Finishes Year on Concussion Injured List

The San Francisco Giants placed rookie first baseman Bryce Eldridge (concussion) on the seven-day concussion injured list on Monday, ending his first full season with just a week left to play, according to Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. The 21-year-old left-handed slugger had a cup of coffee with San Fran in 2025, playing in only 10 games, but he finishes 2026 with 107 games played at the major-league level. In those 107 games (448 plate appearances), Eldridge showed plenty of power potential at Oracle Park, slashing .269/.364/.461 with an .825 OPS, 17 homers, 57 RBI, 50 runs scored, and one stolen base. It was a disappointing end to the year, though, as he suffered a concussion when he hit his head at the team's hotel. The former first-rounder also hit .333 (38-for-114) with five homers and 22 RBI in 30 games at Triple-A Sacramento in 2026. One of the Giants' top prospects, outfielder Bo Davidson, and infielder Marcelo Mayer will get a chance to impress over the final week of the regular season.

Giants Calling Up Outfield Prospect Bo Davidson

The San Francisco Giants are calling up outfield prospect Bo Davidson, the team's No. 8 prospect per MLB Pipeline, to the big leagues on Monday, a source told Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. Davidson will get the call to the big leagues to begin the final week of the 2026 regular season after hitting .309/.389/.534 with 10 home runs and six steals for Triple-A Sacramento this year in 52 games across 234 plate appearances. He also hit .277/.340/.521 with an .861 OPS, 19 homers, 53 RBI, 14 steals, and 49 runs scored in 73 games and 315 plate appearances at Double-A Richmond. Obviously, it is too late in the season for Davidson to do any real damage in fantasy baseball leagues, but the Gigantes will get a look at one of their best position-player prospects in the final week, with both outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (groin) and Bryce Eldridge (head) currently dealing with injuries. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter has primarily played center field in the minors, but he could be used in a corner-outfield spot as well. Davidson has intriguing raw power from the left side and could push for an early MLB return in 2027 if he starts out hot in the minors.

Bryce Eldridge Expected to Play on Saturday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge (head) was scratched from the lineup on Friday after cutting his head at the team's hotel before opening pitch. Manager Tony Vitello said that he expects the 21-year-old slugger to play on Saturday, noting that the injury doesn't appear to have any long-term ramifications. In his place on Friday, Brett Harris took over at first base and would likely do the same on Saturday should any unforeseen complications arise. That being said, it would appear that the promising rookie is set to take the field and try to finish what should be considered a successful debut season. Over 107 games played, Eldridge has hit 17 home runs and collected 57 runs batted in, all while posting a robust .269/.364/.461 slash line. Fantasy baseball managers should insert him back into their lineups once he's healthy and leave him there through the end of the 2026 season.

Logan Webb Lands on Injured List with Finger Injury

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Webb will see his regular season come to an end due to a right middle finger blister. The Giants were reportedly considering shutting down Webb after his latest start. The right-hander has allowed 16 earned runs over his last three starts. He'll now get plenty of time to heal his injury and prepare for the 2027 season. He'll finish the season with a 4.31 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 134/41 K/BB ratio in 27 starts.

Bryce Eldridge Has Emerged as a Must-Roster Power Bat

Across 448 plate appearances in 2026, San Francisco Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge hit .269/.364/.461 with 17 home runs, 57 RBI, 50 runs scored, and one stolen base. The 21-year-old owns an elevated 26.6% strikeout rate. However, he's also posted a solid 11.5% barrel rate and an excellent 52.2% hard-hit rate. Across 170 plate appearances since the start of August, Eldridge is hitting .301. Playing his home games in San Francisco's pitcher-friendly Oracle Park is not the best fit for the lefty-swinging Eldridge's power upside, but the young slugger may have enough talent to overcome the imperfect situation. Heading into the final stretch of the regular season, Eldridge profiles as a must-roster first baseman who should provide power and run production for fantasy managers.

Rafael Devers to Have Season-Ending Core-Muscle Surgery on Tuesday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Rafael Devers (core) will have season-ending surgery on Tuesday in Philadelphia to fix a left-sided core-muscle injury, according to Zach Sweet of MLB.com. The Giants said they will provide an update on his recovery timeline after the surgery. The Giants placed Devers on the 60-day injured list on Sunday, putting an end to his 2026 campaign. The 29-year-old left-handed slugger will finish his first full season in the Bay Area with a .258/.340/.525 slash line, an .865 OPS, 37 home runs, 98 RBI, and 88 runs scored in 148 games and 633 plate appearances. Devers is currently leading the league with 36 doubles after a recent offensive barrage in the second half of the season. The three-time All-Star went off in August with a .272 average (28-for-103) with eight home runs, five doubles, 18 RBI, and 22 runs scored in 28 games played. Devers got off to an icy start in 2026 by hitting .207 (25-for-121), but he turned things around quickly in May and finished with his second straight 35-plus-homer season. The Dominican first baseman has reached the 30-homer mark in four of the last six seasons with the Giants and Boston Red Sox.

Giants Considering Shutting Logan Webb Down for the Year

San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello said that the team will have a conversation about whether or not to shut right-handed veteran Logan Webb down for the year, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports. It has been a rough season for Webb in 2026, with his season starting early while playing for the United States in the World Baseball Classic. The 29-year-old three-time All-Star came into his start in Sunday's series finale against the division-rival San Diego Padres with a 4.10 ERA (3.46 FIP), 1.15 WHIP, and 127:40 K:BB in 155 2/3 innings over his 26 starts, and he allowed six runs on eight hits in five innings in a loss to drop his record on the year to 8-8. It might be time for Webb to call it a season, as he nearly has a 10.00 ERA in his last five starts down the stretch. It might not make sense to throw Webb out there again with the Giants eliminated from the playoffs already. Fantasy managers still playing for a championship might have already jumped ship. In addition to the long year in 2026, Webb went over the 200-inning mark in his previous three seasons in San Francisco.

Rafael Devers Placed on 60-Day Injured List with Core-Muscle Injury

San Francisco Giants first baseman/designated hitter Rafael Devers (abdomen) has been placed on the 60-day injured list due to a core muscle injury, per Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News. delos Santos reports that Devers has played through the issue for much of the season. Following his placement on the 60-day injured list, Devers' 2026 campaign is over. Across 633 plate appearances this year, the 29-year-old hit .258/.340/.525 with 37 home runs, 98 RBI, and 88 runs scored. Despite apparently playing through an injury, Devers dominated in the second half of the season. Across 226 plate appearances after the All-Star break, the lefty slugger hit .275 with 18 home runs and a .987 OPS. With Devers sidelined, Giants outfielder Scott Bandura could be in line for more playing time at designated hitter.

Bryce Eldridge Showing Improvement at the Plate

San Francisco Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge has been quite productive at the plate recently. He currently owns a 15-game on-base streak, and during that streak, he has posted a .345/.456/.491 slash line with one home run, 12 RBI, 12 walks, and 16 strikeouts. The power has tailed off a bit, but he's getting more hits, accruing more total bases, and posting a much better K/BB ratio. These latest results have put him back on the fantasy baseball radar as a very intriguing waiver wire target. His streak has also helped his season-long numbers, as he now owns a .810 OPS and 127 wRC+ across 97 games. Eldridge, who has split time at first base and designated hitter, is available to be added in 84% of leagues. He ranks as the #24 first baseman in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Parks Harber A Risky End-of-Season Stash Candidate

San Francisco Giants third base prospect Parks Harber has had a decent season in the minors at age 24, and his promotion to Triple-A Sacramento has been followed by some success. In 41 games at Sacramento, Harber has hit .256 with five homers and 29 RBI to go with 24 runs scored. Harber has flashed his power across two levels of the minors this season with 17 combined homers and 76 RBI with a .273 batting average. The right-handed third base prospect is the No. 13 prospect in the Giants system with a 45-grade hit tool and 55-grade power. Harber has had a decent statistical season across the minors this year, and the Giants could reward him with a late-season promotion even though he didn't get the early September call-up. Harber could also be looking at a 2027 big-league debut if the Giants wait it out and let him begin the season in the big leagues next year.

Bo Davidson Making Case For Promotion With Late-Season Surge

San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Bo Davidson homered on Friday night after having a great month of August at Triple-A Sacramento. In 43 games at Sacramento, Davidson has eight homers with 35 RBI and five stolen bases while hitting .285. In 99 August at bats, Davidson launched seven homers and had 28 RBI while hitting .323. The 24-year-old is making a case for a call-up to San Francisco, especially with his late-season surge. Davidson is the No. 8 prospect in the Giants' system and has a 50-grade hit tool with 55-grade power and speed. He has 19 combined stolen bases between two levels of the minors this season. The power and speed combination makes him an exciting fantasy prospect and he could force the Giants' hand into a late-season promotion if he keeps up his hot hitting.

Parks Harber Not a Stash Candidate Amid Slump

San Francisco Giants infield/outfield prospect Parks Harber is mired in a terrible slump, and just when it looked like there was a glimmer of hope for an MLB debut in 2026, the recent stretch of futility at the plate has likely pushed any chances for a debut to 2027. The Giants' 13th-ranked prospect has collected just one hit in his last 26 at-bats, producing a .038 average during that time with a 30.0 percent strikeout rate. The slash line at Triple-A Sacramento is still good at .266/.363/.416 with five home runs in 39 games, and the 6-foot-3 slugger's future still looks bright, but look for Harber to have a fantasy impact next season, not this year. Fantasy managers who were mulling whether or not to stash him can safely leave the 24-year-old on the waiver wire.

Rafael Devers Homers Again on Wednesday, Continues Recent Hot Streak

San Francisco Giants first baseman Rafael Devers continued his recent tear on Wednesday, going 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks, and an additional run scored in his team's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Across 598 plate appearances on the year, Devers is hitting .254/.336/.501 with 32 home runs, 83 RBI, and 82 runs scored. The 29-year-old is on an absolute heater of late, as he's now extended his current hitting streak to 10 straight games. In that 10-game span, Devers has hit six home runs and logged 13 RBI. Across 186 plate appearances since the All-Star break, the lefty slugger has lowered his strikeout rate to 21.5% while also hitting 13 home runs. If Devers continues his hot streak through September, he has the potential to swing fantasy leagues down the stretch.

Bo Davidson Climbing the Redraft Stash Ranks

San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Bo Davidson closed August with a bang, going 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, five RBI, and two runs scored on Sunday for Triple-A Sacramento. The Giants' eighth-ranked prospect hit .406 with eight doubles, seven home runs, and more walks (10) than strikeouts (nine) over his last 17 games. Since getting promoted in mid-July, the 6-foot-1 slugger has looked quite comfortable, slashing .290/.374/.497 while cutting his strikeout rate from 23.5 percent to 16.8 percent and producing some impressive exit velocity (EV), with his average EV sitting at 91.7 mph, which is good for 91st percentile. The 24-year-old has made the case for a late-season debut, and with 26 home runs on the year across two levels and 19 steals to boot, he could add a bit of power and speed to fantasy managers' teams down the stretch if called upon, making the left-handed hitter a worthy stash option in deeper 12+ team leagues.

Parks Harber Not A Stash Candidate This Season

San Francisco Giants third base prospect Parks Harber is having a good year in the minor leagues at age 24 but is likely not to factor into the Giants' thinking at the end of this season. Harber has split time this season between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento and has combined to hit .284 in 401 at-bats with 17 homers and 73 RBI. The Giants recently recalled Shay Whitcomb from Sacramento at third base ahead of Harber so it looks like it might not be until next year that Harber debuts in San Francisco. Harber is the No. 13 prospect in the Giants' system and has 55-grade power with a 45-grade hit tool. The right-handed hitter has a nice power profile for fantasy and has hit well in the minors. Look for Harber to make an impact at some point next season.

Bo Davidson Primed For Late-Season Breakout

San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Bo Davidson has produced in a big way during the month of August at Triple-A Sacramento, hitting .341 with six homers, 23 RBI, and 30 runs scored. Davidson is the No. 8 prospect in the Giants' system with a 50-grade hit tool, 55-grade power, and 55-grade speed. Davidson has combined for 19 stolen bases between two levels of the minors this season, proving that he could be a stolen base threat at the major-league level. Davidson is doing his best to force his way into a call-up to the Giants this season. The 24-year-old is doing everything in his power to prove he is ready. If the Giants feel he is ready, he would be a big boost to fantasy managers down the stretch of the season. Keep an eye on Davidson's progress the rest of the way.
