San Francisco

Giants

Chapman has his first two extra-base hits of the spring. The 32-year-old is coming off a solid — if unspectacular — 2025 season with 21 homers and a .770 OPS, and fantasy managers should expect similar production from Chapman this summer.

Ray did issue a pair of walks and gave up a hit, but he was able to keep Chicago off the board. The left-hander struggled at the end of the year, but still put up a solid 186/73 K/BB while working 182 1/3 innings with a 3.65 ERA in his first season with the Giants. There will be clunkers, but Ray’s ability to miss bats is still among the best.

The 28-year-old right-hander reported feeling significant improvement from the tight left hamstring that had sidelined him during the week. He still has plenty of time to ramp up in time for the start of the regular season.

We’re seeing close to a full lineup from the Giants in this one, with the only regular not here being Heliot Ramos who batted third in Saturday’s contest. It looks like new skipper Tony Vitello is content letting Arraez bat atop the lineup while Matt Chapman’s inclusion in the second spot is mildly intriguing. Just something to keep an eye on. Here’s the full lineup for Sunday: Luis Arraez (2B), Matt Chapman (3B), Willy Adames (SS), Rafael Devers (1B), Patrick Bailey (C), Jung Hoo Lee (RF), Bryce Eldridge (DH), Will Brennan (LF) and Harrison Bader (CF).

Birdsong gave up an RBI single to Patrick Wisdsom, but the big blow was a Miles Mastrobuoni dinger with the bases loaded before he exited. It’s just spring training, but Birdsong is trying to win one of the final spots in the rotation. The results have to be much better if that’s going to happen.

Eldridge, who underwent offseason wrist surgery to remove a bone spur, can cement his spot on San Francisco’s season-opening roster, floating between first base and DH, with a strong performance this spring. The 21-year-old power-hitting prospect struggled last year in his first exposure to big-league pitching but he’s still only 21 years old and possesses respectable plate skills for a masher with his towering frame. Eldridge offers sky-high over-the-fence power potential but there’s enough risk present that his immediate fantasy appeal is strictly limited to deeper mixed leagues as a late-round flyer.

It puts Mahle a little behind, but there’s plenty of time to catch up. The Giants gave the right-hander a one-year, $10 million contract at the beginning of January with the expectation being that he’ll pitch in the middle of the San Francisco rotation in 2026.

The Giants are going to keep him limited over the next week or so in an effort to combat the issue. Peguero is expected to be a key cog in the club’s bullpen for the 2026 season, so they’ll need to make sure that he’s healthy and ready to go by the end of March.

Since Wick is expected to miss the bulk of the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, this move was an inevitability. Doing so now clears a spot on the Giants’ 40-man roster for the addition of Will Brennan on Sunday. Wick signed a one-year deal with a club option for 2027 earlier in the week.

No word yet on the financial terms of the contract. Brennan, 28, underwent surgery back in May to repair a torn UCL but is fully recovered and ready to go for spring training. Barring a disastrous showing in Cactus League play, he should crack the Giants’ Opening Day roster.
