US EditionGiants Send Hayden Birdsong to Triple-A Sacramento After Failing to Record an Out in Loss to Braves
SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 22 – Hayden Birdsong was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento after allowing five runs without recording an out, marking his first career appearance with no outs recorded, Giants announced.
- On July 22, 2025, the San Francisco Giants optioned starting pitcher Hayden Birdsong and right-hander Tristan Beck to Triple-A Sacramento while recalling right-handers Carson Seymour and Sean Hjelle.
- The moves came after Birdsong’s most difficult MLB outing on July 21, when he was unable to retire a batter and gave up five earned runs in a defeat against Atlanta.
- Birdsong appeared in 21 games with 10 starts this season, struggling with command issues that raised his ERA to 4.80, including an 8.13 ERA in his last seven starts and 17 walks over 13 innings.
- Tristan Beck, who holds a 5.68 ERA and pitched flawlessly for one and one-third innings on Monday, was optioned along with Birdsong, while Seymour and Hjelle were brought back but are not anticipated to immediately join the starting rotation.
- These roster changes indicate the Giants are adjusting their pitching staff amid rotation struggles and are creating roster flexibility potentially to pursue a veteran starter.
