Giants place rookie Bryce Eldridge on the concussion list after accident at team hotel Friday
Bryce Eldridge’s strong rookie season for the San Francisco Giants appears to have ended after the Giants put the first baseman/designated hitter on the seven-day concussion list Monday. The move is retroactive to Sept. 18, which means Eldridge could play in the Giants’ final three games against the Dodgers this coming weekend.
San Francisco Giants placed rookie Bryce Eldridge on the concussion list on Monday following an accident at the team hotel in Los Angeles on Friday, retroactive to September 18. This means Eldridge could potentially play in the Giants' final three games against the Dodgers this upcoming weekend. However, manager Tony Vitello doesn't foresee Eldridge playing again in 2026.
Eldridge, 21, had a strong rookie season, hitting .269 with 17 home runs and 57 RBIs in 386 at-bats. He made his debut on May 4 and was drafted by the Giants in the first round (16th overall pick) in 2023 from James Madison High in Vienna, Virginia. Eldridge played first base for the first time in his second professional season.
Vitello highlighted Eldridge's defensive improvements as his most impressive aspect of his rookie year. The Giants also made other roster moves on Monday, including placing outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (.276, 10 HRs) on the 10-day injured list due to a groin contusion, reactivating infielder Marcelo Mayer from the 10-day injured list, and selecting outfielder Bo Davidson from Triple-A Sacramento.
Mayer and Davidson both made their big league debuts in the Giants' game against Minnesota on Monday night.
