  "account": "San Francisco Giants have placed rookie Bryce Eldridge on the seven-day concussion list following an accident at the team hotel in Los Angeles. The move is retroactive to September 18, which means Eldridge could play in the Giants' final three games against the Dodgers this weekend. Despite his strong rookie season, hitting .269 with 17 home runs and 57 RBIs in 386 at-bats, the Giants manager Tony Vitello does not anticipate Eldridge playing again in 2026. Eldridge, who was drafted by the Giants in the first round in 2023, had not played first base before his second pro season. The accident occurred on Friday, and Eldridge is now on the concussion list as a result.",
