US EditionSF Giants to call up top prospect Bryce Eldridge for key road trip
Bryce Eldridge, a 20-year-old power hitter with 18 home runs in Triple-A, joins the Giants after first baseman Dominic Smith's injury to strengthen their playoff push.
- The San Francisco Giants are promoting their highly regarded 20-year-old first baseman Bryce Eldridge from Triple-A Sacramento, with Eldridge expected to join the team in Phoenix on Monday, September 15, 2025.

- With a 75-74 record and trailing the Mets by 1.5 games for the final National League playoff spot, the Giants face a crucial stretch of 13 remaining contests, prompting general manager Posey to declare, "It’s time for one last push."
- Eldridge's promotion reflects a last-ditch effort to enhance San Francisco's playoff chances as they prepare for a critical road trip including games in Arizona and at Dodger Stadium.
