Overview
- The Giants called up outfielder Jonah Cox on Sunday, May 31, 2026, elevating him straight from Double-A Richmond to the major-league roster.
- Cox earned the promotion after an extended hot streak in which he hit roughly .400, led the Eastern League in batting average, stolen bases and triples, and reached base at an elite rate.
- To open a 40-man spot the Giants designated lefty reliever Ryan Borucki for assignment, recalled pitcher Tristan Beck from Triple-A Sacramento, and optioned outfielder Will Brennan.
- Cox faced travel delays after the call-up and arrived in Denver the morning of the game, so reporters said he was likely available but not in the first lineup that day.
- The jump from Double-A is rare for the Giants and signals urgency to add baserunning and contact ability to a struggling roster while offering Cox a sudden major-league chance that he described as a surprising and joyful moment.
