Overview
- San Francisco granted Lucchesi his release on Sunday, per the New York Post’s Jon Heyman, making the left-hander a free agent.
- The move followed the Giants signing fellow lefty Ryan Borucki to a major league deal after his White Sox release and a strong spring showing (3 hits, 0 runs, 8 strikeouts in 6 innings).
- Lucchesi produced a 3.76 ERA with 31 strikeouts over 38.1 innings for the Giants in 2025 while working out of the bullpen.
- The veteran had re-signed earlier in March on a minor-league contract but was edged out during final roster decisions under first-year manager Tony Vitello.
- Heyman reported Lucchesi sat 92–94 mph in a scoreless spring outing Saturday, yet he did not secure an Opening Day bullpen spot.
