Bryce Eldridge

Bryce Eldridge won’t play in Saturday’s Spring Breakout game due to minor left hand soreness, per team updates, though it’s not expected to impact his Triple-A season start.

Eldridge’s minor hand soreness sidelines him Saturday, but the 20-year-old first baseman should be ready for Triple-A Sacramento after a rapid 2024 climb slowed at that level. A 2025 Giants debut looms possible. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues can stash him, eyeing his bat for a midseason call-up if he heats up.

The Giants reassigned Bryce Eldridge to minor league camp on Wednesday as part of a batch of roster trims, per team reports.

Eldridge, now 20, climbed to Triple-A Sacramento in 2024 as a 19-year-old top prospect—close to the majors, but this early cut reflects a need for more seasoning. A 2025 big-league debut isn’t out of the question. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should keep him stashed; his upside’s real, though redraft players can wait it out.

Giants GM Pete Putila told reporters that Bryce Eldridge will focus only on first base this year.

The Giants had drafted Eldridge as a two-way player, but they believe pretty strongly that he has a chance to be a special hitter. The No. 16 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft holds intriguing power upside at the plate.
