San Francisco Giants | ||||
Adrian HouserSP · Sep 29Forearm · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | 60-Day-IL | Forearm · Strain · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Houser missed the final month-plus of the regular season while dealing with a right forearm strain. He will continue going through physical therapy for now but is expected to begin his offseason throwing at his normal time. Houser posted a 4.02 ERA and 75:34 K:BB over 109.2 innings in 2026 covering 16 starts and 10 relief outings. |
Blade TidwellSP · Sep 29Elbow · Sprain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2028 · Sep 29 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Sprain · Right | Feb 1, 2028 | Surgery for the right-hander was the expected outcome, and now it has officially been scheduled. If Tidwell winds up needing a full Tommy John surgery -- which is likely since he's dealing with a high-grade tear -- he'll be sidelined until the 2028 season. |
Bryce EldridgeDH · Sep 21Concussion · Concussion · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 21 | 7-Day IL | Concussion · Concussion | Feb 1, 2027 | Eldridge entered concussion protocol Sunday after hitting his head while at the team hotel. Manager Tony Vitello noted before Monday's game against the Twins that he doesn't expect to see Eldridge play down the stretch of the 2026 campaign. |
Carson WhisenhuntSP · Sep 9Elbow · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2028 · Sep 9 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2028 | 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. |
Casey SchmittLF · Aug 29Knee · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Aug 29 | 60-Day-IL | Knee · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | The move opens up a spot on the 26-man roster for Yunior Marte, who will start in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks. Schmitt underwent surgery in late July to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. He's technically eligible to return in the last days of the regular season, but he'll likely be sidelined for the rest of the year given that the Giants are unlikely to qualify for the postseason. |
Daniel SusacC · Aug 19Knee · Fracture · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Aug 19 | 60-Day-IL | Knee · Fracture · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Susac was diagnosed with a fractured left patella earlier in the day Monday and is unlikely to return this season. Zach Morgan had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. |
Harrison BaderCF · Aug 19Foot · Plantar Fasciitis · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Aug 19 | 60-Day-IL | Foot · Plantar Fasciitis · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Placed on shelf May 30 after experiencing plantar fasciitis in his left foot, Bader worsened the injury when he was involved in a scooter accident last weekend. According to Vitello, the Giants were already anticipating Bader to miss the remainder of the season before his accident, though the outfielder's recovery timeline could be extended as a result of the setback. Bader underwent a follow-up MRI on his foot earlier in the week but the Giants haven't provided any details regarding to what extent the scooter accident worsened his injury. The 32-year-old will be heading into the second season of a two-year, $20.5 million deal in 2027 after finishing his inaugural campaign in San Francisco with a .170/.198/.358 slash line to go with five home runs, 14 RBI and 10 runs over 30 games. |
Hayden BirdsongRP · May 8Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back Jun 1, 2027 · May 8 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Surgery · Right | Jun 1, 2027 | Birdsong was diagnosed with a sprained UCL in mid-March and elected to go under the knife. The right-hander will miss the entirety of the 2026 campaign and likely at least the first couple months of 2027. |
Jesus RodriguezC · Sep 4Elbow · Pinched Nerve · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 4 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Pinched Nerve · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | 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. |
Joel PegueroRP · Sep 29Hamstring · Strain · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | 60-Day-IL | Hamstring · Strain · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Peguero missed much of the 2026 season with a recurring left hamstring strain, with his last appearance coming in mid-August. However, the reliever appears set for a normal offseason before competing for a bullpen job with the Giants in 2027. |
Jose ButtoRP · May 8Arm · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · May 8 | 60-Day-IL | Arm · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Butto has already been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery Saturday to repair an artery in his arm, so moving to 60-day IL has no impact on his timeline. He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to Eric Haase, who was selected from Triple-A Sacramento to replace Daniel Susac (elbow) on the active roster. |
JT BrubakerRP · Sep 7Ribs · Bruise · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 7 | 15-Day-IL | Ribs · Bruise | Feb 1, 2027 | 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. |
Keaton WinnRP · Sep 29Elbow · Pinched Nerve · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Pinched Nerve · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Winn was sidelined for the last month-plus of the regular season while dealing with right elbow neuritis. Barring any setbacks, he will be ready to roll by the time spring training rolls around. |
Logan WebbSP · Sep 18Finger · Abrasion · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 18 | 15-Day-IL | Finger · Abrasion · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Manager Tony Vitello said last weekend that the Giants would consider shutting Webb down after he allowed 16 earned runs in 13 innings over his last three starts. With the team out of the playoff chase and Webb now dealing with a blister, the 29-year-old's season will officially come to an early end. He'll finish 2026 with a 4.31 ERA -- his worst mark since 2020 -- and a 1.17 WHIP across 160.2 innings. Duncan Davitt was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. |
Matt Chapman3B · Aug 14Abdomen · Surgery · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Aug 14 | 60-Day-IL | Abdomen · Surgery | Feb 1, 2027 | The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Turner Hill. Chapman underwent season-ending hernia surgery earlier this week but should be ready to go for the start of spring training. |
Matt GageRP · Sep 29Elbow · Strain · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Strain · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Gage had to be pulled off his rehab assignment Sept. 1 due to renewed discomfort in his left elbow, but he's recovered well since then and heads into the offseason sans limitations. The southpaw held a 5.60 ERA and 22:17 K:BB over 27.1 frames this season. |
Nate Furman2B · Sep 18Oblique · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 18 | 10-Day-IL | Oblique · Strain · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Furman will hit the bench for the second straight game while the Giants go with Jonah Cox at second base. Since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 24, Furman has gone just 4-for-24 (.167 average) with three RBI and one run in 11 games. |
Rafael Devers1B · Sep 13Abdomen · Surgery · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 13 | 60-Day-IL | Abdomen · Surgery | Feb 1, 2027 | Devers was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday due to a core muscle injury, something that has reportedly bothered the 29-year-old slugger for a number of years, though he could be back at full health for the start of training camp. Devers will finish the 2026 regular season with an .865 OPS with 37 home runs and 98 RBI across 633 plate appearances. |
Randy RodriguezRP · Sep 15Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 15 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Rodriguez is coming up on the one-year anniversary of his Tommy John surgery, and he's nearly ready to try things out in a game setting again. The Giants anticipate the hard-throwing reliever to be ready to go for spring training, and Rodriguez could be in the mix to close games in 2027 if he regains his pre-surgery form. |
Rowan WickRP · May 8Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · May 8 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Wick's move to the 60-day IL was fully expected, as San Francisco signed him earlier this weekend with the knowledge that the right-hander would miss the entire 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in November. The 33-year-old's contract includes a club option for 2027, so the Giants will have the ability to closely monitor his rehab program in the months to come before deciding whether to retain him this winter. Wick hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022 but was one of the top relievers in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball this past season, when he turned in a 1.13 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 58:13 K:BB over 47.2 innings. |
Trevor McDonaldSP · Aug 13Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back Sep 1, 2027 · Aug 13 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Surgery · Right | Sep 1, 2027 | McDonald was diagnosed with a sprained UCL in his right elbow Friday, and after seeking out a second opinion, he will opt to go under the knife to address the issue. The procedure will end his season early and likely rule him out for most, if not all, of 2027 as well. He'll close the book on 2026 after logging a 5.12 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 70.1 innings across 14 starts. |
Willy AdamesSS · Sep 29Elbow · Sprain · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | 10-Day-IL | Elbow · Sprain · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Adames went down with a left (non-throwing) elbow sprain in late August, but he was ramping up workouts toward the end of the regular season and will not have any restrictions over the winter. The veteran shortstop put together a .230/.289/.424 batting line with 21 home runs over 121 games for the Giants this season. |
