San Francisco Giants
· 2026-07-06
The San Francisco Giants announced a roster move on Saturday, placing LHP Matt Gage on the 15-day Injured List with a left elbow strain.
The Giants recalled RHP Spencer Bivens from Triple-A Sacramento to fill the vacant spot.
Bivens has yet to make his season debut, but has spent the first two years of his MLB career with the Giants, going 7-4 with a 3.68 ERA over 81 career games.
The 32-year-old pitcher will look to make an impact as the Giants try to turn their season around, currently sitting 13th in the National League with a 37-52 record.
The Giants are looking to bounce back from a tough loss to the Colorado Rockies on July 5, where they lost 7-6.
The team has had a challenging first half of the 2026 season, but the addition of Bivens could bring some much-needed depth to the pitching staff.
The Giants will face the Rockies again on Saturday, looking to even the series and gain some momentum.
After two more games with the Rockies, the Giants will return home to host the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.
The Giants will look to build on their current record, and the addition of Bivens could be a key factor in their success.
Spencer Bivens has been praised by fans and analysts alike, with many feeling he should have been called up earlier.
The Giants' current standing is a result of their recent performance, including their last result, a 7-6 loss to the Rockies on July 5.
