Overview

  • Eldridge is set to join Triple-A Sacramento’s roster this week after missing early season time with a wrist injury.
  • The 20-year-old left-handed hitter posted a .280/.350/.512 slash line with seven homers and 20 RBIs over 34 games at Double-A Richmond.
  • Giants have scored just 30 runs across their last 15 games and carry baseball’s worst first-base production into the Sugar Land series.
  • President of baseball operations Buster Posey said Eldridge’s development at first base and his offensive consistency in Sacramento will dictate a possible major-league promotion.
  • San Francisco activated Jerar Encarnacion from the 60-day injured list on Monday and continues to explore internal and external options to revive its lineup.
