Down on the Farm: 4/29/2026

The Giants were rained out in Philadelphia and will play a split doubleheader today with Logan Webb RHP taking Game 1 and TBD Game 2.

AAA:  Sacramento River Cats overwhelmed the Salt Lake City Bees 17-7.

Jesus Rodriguez C- 1 for 4, BB, HBP, SB(4).  BA= .337.

Bryce Eldridge 1B- 4 for 5, 2 HR(5), BB.  BA= .327.

Buddy Kennedy 3B- 3 for 4, 2B, BB, HBP.  BA= ..345.

Victor Bericoto RF- 2 for 5, HR(3), BB.  BA= .298.

Grant McCray CF- 2 for 5, HR(2), BB, SB(3).  BA= .222.

Carson Seymour RHP- 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 5 K's, 5/1 GO/AO.  ERA= 4.03.

Marques Johnson RHP- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.50.

Braxton Roxby RHP- 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 9.00.

There are some things going on here.  First of all, keep in mind that Salt Lake City is an extreme hitter-friendly environment at baseline.  There was a 9 MPH wind blowing out to RF at game time in this one.  Having said that, this was a stupendous game for Bryce Eldridge. Expect calls to start getting louder for him to come up as we approach May 1.  But where will he play?  Buster backed himself into a helluva corner as Eldridge plays the same positions as Devers who is a huge disappointment and signed through 2033 for a total of $238 M.  Of course they can both play with the DH in place but then what happens to Casey Schmitt?  I could see similar pressures for Rodriguez if Bailey's bat does not show improvement, especially after Susac gets back.  And Carson Seymour makes a nice bounceback from disaster game and in a tough pitching environment.  Factor out that one start and his ERA in in 4 other starts is 1.93 in 18.2 IP.

AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels at Altoona Curve postponed.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds topped the Spokane Indians 3-1.

Carlos Gutierrez LF- 2 for 3, BB, SB(5).  BA= .215.

Zander Darby 1B- 1 for 3, HR(4).  BA= .306.

Charlie McDaniel LHP- 5.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 8 K's, 5/2 GO/AO.  ERA= 1.10.

Gerelmi Maldonado RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.00.

Ben Peterson RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 2/0 GO/AO, Save(4).  ERA= 1.80.

Charlie McDaniel was signed as an UDFA in 2024.  He pitched to a 2.59 ERA for A San Jose last season but faltered to a 5.77 after a promotion to A+ Eugene.  He seems to have put that late promotion to good use as a learning experience and came back strong to start this season.

A:  Visalia Rawhide walked off the San Jose Giants after a 6-run rally in the bottom of the 9'th inning 9-8.

Junior Barajas C- 3 for 5.  BA= .301.

Cam Maldonado RF- 2 for 4, SF, SB(9).  BA= .343.

Damian Bravo LF- 1 for 3, 2 BB, SB(2).  BA= .278.

Isaiah Barkett DH- 2 for 4.  BA= .370.

Jordan Gottesman LHP- 4.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4 K's, 6/3 GO/AO.  ERA= 3.60.
