Giants Call Up Bryce Eldridge and Jesús Rodriguez to Jolt Stalled Offense

The promotions reflect Buster Posey’s urgent response to a six-game skid that exposed league-worst production.

Overview

  • Both prospects were promoted Monday before a home series against the Padres, and the team has not yet announced the two required roster moves.
  • The Giants return from an 0-6 trip with MLB-worst marks in runs, home runs, walks and on-base percentage under first-year manager Tony Vitello.
  • Eldridge, 21, brings a .333/.445/.518 line with five homers from Triple-A, though he has 41 strikeouts and hit .107 in a 10-game MLB stint last year.
  • Rodriguez, a catcher who has also played infield and left field, is hitting .330 with an .840 OPS at Sacramento and is set for his first major league game.
  • Both players are already on the 40-man roster, and the San Francisco Chronicle identified Will Brennan and out-of-options Jerar Encarnacion as likely cuts to open two active spots.
