Giants place rookie Bryce Eldridge on the concussion list after accident at team hotel Friday

The 21-year-old rookie first baseman hit .269 with 17 home runs and 57 RBIs before the injury ended his season, manager Tony Vitello said.

  • On Monday, the San Francisco Giants placed rookie first baseman Bryce Eldridge on the seven-day concussion list after he sustained a head injury in an accident at the team hotel in Los Angeles on Friday.
  • Drafted in 2023 out of James Madison High in Vienna, Virginia, Eldridge enjoyed a strong rookie season, hitting.269 with 17 home runs and 57 RBIs in 386 at-bats since his May 4 debut.
  • San Francisco manager Tony Vitello said he does not anticipate Eldridge playing again in 2026, noting the rookie hit "more than his fair share" of dramatic home runs throughout the year.
  • Reinstating infielder Marcelo Mayer from the 10-day injured list, San Francisco also selected outfielder Davidson from Triple-A Sacramento and designated left-handed reliever Philip Abner for assignment Monday.
  • Although the concussion list placement is retroactive to September 18, allowing potential return for the final three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Vitello remains cautious about Eldridge's availability.
