US EditionWhat Can SF Giants Expect From Newly Promoted Prospect Drew Gilbert?
SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 8 – Drew Gilbert, ranked No. 13 Giants prospect, joins MLB after trade from Mets to fill roster spot left by Jerar Encarnacion's hamstring injury, hitting .500 in AAA, Giants said.
- The San Francisco Giants called up rookie outfielder Drew Gilbert to make his MLB debut on August 8, 2025, at Oracle Park against the Washington Nationals.
- Gilbert was called up to the Giants following an injury to their right fielder Jerar Encarnacion, who was sidelined with a hamstring strain and placed on the team's short-term injured list.
- Acquired just over a week earlier from the Mets in a trade that sent top reliever Tyler Rogers to New York, Gilbert was called up after hitting.500 with two triples and six walks in five AAA Sacramento games.
- At 24 years old and standing about 5-foot-8, Gilbert described himself as a line-drive hitter with some power, and expressed gratitude saying, "You're grateful for any opportunity you get" and thanking Buster Posey for believing in him.
- Gilbert's debut indicates the Giants' strategy to integrate young players into new roles as they contend for a wild-card spot, and he looks to contribute in the final two months of the season.
