"The Giants are promoting first baseman Bryce Eldridge, the team's top prospect, from Triple-A Sacramento to the majors, a source has confirmed to this news organization Sunday evening. The team has yet to officially announce the news. Eldridge, 20, will join San Francisco (75-74) in Phoenix on Monday with 13 games remaining in the regular season as they fight for a playoff spot."
"Eldridge's promotion comes days after first baseman Dominic Smith suffered a right hamstring strain that will likely end his regular season. It is unclear what role Eldridge, who is still learning the nuances of first base, will have with the big-league team. The Giants' top pick in the 2023 draft No. 16 overall began the season with Double-A Richmond after dealing with a wrist injury, earning a promotion to Sacramento after hitting seven homers and posting a .862 OPS over 34 games."
Bryce Eldridge, 20, will be promoted from Triple-A Sacramento to the San Francisco Giants as a roster addition with 13 regular-season games remaining. The move follows a hamstring strain to first baseman Dominic Smith and comes while the Giants chase a wild-card spot, sitting 1.5 games behind the Mets and half-game ahead of Arizona. Eldridge hit seven homers and posted a .862 OPS in Double-A before promotion, then compiled a .249/.322/.514 line with 18 homers and 63 RBIs in Triple-A, including an .846 OPS in September. The Giants' remaining schedule includes road series at Arizona and Los Angeles and home series versus St. Louis and Colorado.
