Story summary

Bryce Eldridge, the promising rookie first baseman/designated hitter for the San Francisco Giants, was placed on the seven-day concussion list on Monday following an accident at the team hotel in Los Angeles on Friday, September 18. This move could potentially end Eldridge’s strong rookie season as he sustained a head injury during the incident. Manager Tony Vitello does not anticipate Eldridge playing again in the 2026 season despite the possibility of him being available for the Giants' final three games against the Dodgers this coming weekend.

Eldridge, who was drafted by the Giants in 2023 as a first-round pick (16th overall), had an impressive rookie year with a batting average of .269, hitting 17 home runs and driving in 57 RBIs.
