Eldridge went 1-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to Arizona.
Eldridge lined a double to right field in the second inning, marking his second two-bagger of the season. The 21-year-old struggled upon being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, though he's been trending upward of late. He's recorded at least one hit in four of his last six games, slashing .286/.348/.381 with an RBI and a run scored across 23 plate appearances during that span.

Giants' Bryce Eldridge: On bench against southpaw
Rotowire
Eldridge is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Though he'll be head to the bench while lefty Noah Schultz takes the hill for Chicago, the left-handed-hitting Eldridge appears to be gaining traction in the San Francisco lineup against righties. Eldridge has started in each of the Giants' last three matchups versus right-handed starters or primary pitchers, going 3-for-11 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run.

Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Will remain in mix for at-bats
Rotowire
Manger Tony Vitello stated Monday that Eldridge will receive a chance to pinch hit in every game that he isn't listed in the starting lineup, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Eldridge isn't in the starting nine for a second straight game, as San Francisco is electing to deploy Casey Schmitt at first base and Rafael Devers in the designated hitter slot for Monday's series opener against the Dodgers. However, Vitello acknowledged that Eldridge will remain in contention for starts, and the club will also utilize his power bat off the bench in late-game situations as needed in an effort to continue his development.

Giants' Bryce Eldridge: On bench for second time in series
Rotowire
Eldridge is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Eldridge smacked a solo home run in Saturday's 13-3 loss, but he's otherwise made a limited impact since being promoted from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday. Through his first four games with the Giants, Eldridge has gone 2-for-13 with a 1:4 BB:K and no extra-base hits beyond the home run. Eldridge will hit the bench for the second time in three games, and he looks like he may have to share the designated-hitter spot with Casey Schmitt until the former's production warrants a larger role.

Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Clubs first career homer
Rotowire
Eldridge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Pirates.
While the result is one the Giants will want to forget, Eldridge's first big-league homer was a silver lining. The 21-year-old has started a bit slow in his second taste of the majors, going 2-for-13 with a walk and four strikeouts over four games. While the Giants aren't playing that well, they've got big-name players at every infield position and a hot-hitting utility man in Casey Schmitt to create competition. For now, Eldridge has started at designated hitter in all four of his games this year, and he'll likely need to be more consistent at the plate to garner regular opportunities.

Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Starting Monday as DH
Rotowire
Eldridge will start at designated hitter and bat seventh Monday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
After being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, Eldridge will immediately slide into the starting nine for the series opener, handling the DH spot while Casey Schmitt mans third base in place of a resting Matt Chapman. Eldridge produced a .963 OPS in 137 plate appearances in the minors this season, and he'll look for better results in his second stint in the majors after logging a .476 OPS in 37 plate appearances with the Giants late in the 2025 campaign.

Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Officially promoted by Giants
Rotowire
The Giants recalled Eldridge from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
As expected, the 21-year-old Eldridge will join the Giants for the start of their six-game homestand Monday. He was unable to make the team's Opening Day roster, but a return to the majors seemed inevitable after he dominated at the plate in Triple-A with a .333/.445/.518 slash line with five home runs and 22 RBI in 137 plate appearances. Eldridge will look to do better in his second stint in the majors after going 3-for-28 (.107) with four RBI and 13 strikeouts across 10 regular-season games in 2025.

Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Set to be called up Monday
Rotowire
Eldridge is expected to be called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Eldridge will join the Giants ahead of the team's six-game homestand beginning Monday against the Padres. The 21-year-old has been lights-out at the Triple-A level this season, batting .333 with five home runs, 22 RBI and 25 runs scored over 114 at-bats in 30 games with Sacramento. Eldridge struggled in limited action with San Francisco last season, going 3-for-28 with two doubles, seven walks, four RBI and a run scored while striking out 13 times over 10 contests. He'll look to get off to a better start in his second go-around with the big-league club.
Eldridge is hitting .360 with one home run, a 15.9 percent walk rate and a 30.2 percent strikeout rate in 13 games for Triple-A Sacramento.
The Giants are last in the majors in home runs hit (eight) and have scored the second-fewest runs per game (3.19) in MLB, per Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline, so Eldridge, who hit 25 homers in 102 minor-league games last year, fills a clear need. They will need to keep Eldridge at Triple-A until early May if they want to gain a seventh year of club control, as he spent the final two weeks of last season in the big leagues as the youngest hitter in the majors. Like many young sluggers, Eldridge will run higher strikeout rates for the foreseeable future, but he's well ahead of schedule and should eventually settle in as a four-category force, especially in OBP leagues.
