San Francisco, California - On August 25, 2026, the San Francisco Giants experienced their second loss of the night due to a starting pitcher injury. Following the elimination of Matt McLain with a strikeout, relief pitcher Adrian Houser suffered an arm injury, prompting trainers and manager Tony Vitello to remove him from the game.
Houser, signed by the Giants as a veteran innings eater, has a 4.02 ERA and a 16.0% strikeout rate in 26 appearances, including 16 starts. This incident follows the recent elbow injury of Carson Whisenhunt, who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Spencer Bivens was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to fill the gap. The Giants bullpen will need to record 22 outs to secure the win against the Reds.
