Giants' Tom Murphy: Lands on 60-day IL
The Giants placed Murphy (back) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Murphy was diagnosed with a mid-back disc herniation in February and was expected to miss Opening Day for much of spring training, but his placement on the 60-day IL will ensure that he remains out until at least late May. While Murphy works his way back, Sam Huff will fill in as the backup catcher behind Patrick Bailey, and Christian Koss will claim the open spot on the 40-man roster.

Giants' Jerar Encarnacion: Placed on IL
The Giants placed Encarnacion (hand) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Encarnacion is slated to undergo surgery after fracturing his left hand in Friday's spring game and is expected to miss at least a month. His move to the injured list will create a spot on the active roster for Christian Koss, who was selected from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Giants' Christian Koss: Makes MLB roster
The Giants selected Koss' contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
After a phenomenal spring that saw Koss slash .341/.426/.512 with five RBI and 12 runs scored across 47 plate appearances, he will be rewarded with a spot on San Francisco's Opening Day roster. The 27-year-old has spent most of his time at shortstop throughout his minor-league career but has experience at nearly every position, which helps his case for playing time. He'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Giants' Grant McCray: Falls short of roster spot
The Giants optioned McCray to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
McCray had a shot to be the team's Opening Day center fielder if Jung Hoo Lee (back) wasn't ready, but Lee is healthy now, and McCray will begin the year in the minors. He collected a .617 OPS across 37 contests for the Giants last season.

Giants' Brett Wisely: Sent to Triple-A
The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
Wisely competed for a utility role this spring and hit well with an .835 OPS, but the Giants ultimately chose against including him on the Opening Day roster. The 25-year-old will play all over the diamond while at Sacramento.

Giants' David Villar: Pushed off 40-man roster
The Giants designated Villar for assignment Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
With the Giants needing to clear room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for reliever Lou Trivino, Villar -- who had no minor-league options remaining -- was deemed expendable. Villar owns a respectable .710 OPS and 93 wRC+ over 358 career plate appearances in the big leagues, but as a 28-year-old who is limited defensively to the corner-infield spots, it's unclear if he'll attract much interest from other clubs via trade or waivers.

Giants' Lou Trivino: Added to roster
The Giants selected Trivino's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Trivino had been in camp as a non-roster invitee and won a gig with a stellar showing in Cactus League play, as he tossed 9.1 scoreless innings with a 10:4 K:BB. The 33-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022, as he had to overcome Tommy John surgery and also a shoulder issue.

Giants' Spencer Bivens: Lock for Opening Day roster
Giants manager Bob Melvin said after Monday's 6-4 exhibition win over the Tigers that Bivens has clinched a spot in the Opening Day bullpen, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Bivens will presumably work in long relief or middle relief, though he earned one save at the end of the 2024 season when closer Ryan Walker wasn't available due to workload. The 30-year-old's big-league career is off to a promising start after he posted a 3.14 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with a 37:11 K:BB over 48.2 frames last season.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Picked over Birdsong for rotation
Roupp will open the season as the Giants' fifth starter, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
He was locked in a heated battle with Hayden Birdsong, who will open the season in the Giants' bullpen. Roupp received the nod after allowing five runs with a 14:1 K:BB over 12 innings during Cactus League play. The 26-year-old made four starts and 19 relief appearances with the Giants last season, finishing with a 3.58 ERA and 47:26 K:BB over 50.1 innings. Roupp doesn't have Birdsong's upside, but he is an interesting arm in his own right and deserves consideration in deeper fantasy leagues.

Giants' Hayden Birdsong: Starting season in bullpen
Birdsong will serve out of the Giants' bullpen for the start of the 2025 season after Landen Roupp was named as the fifth starter Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Birdsong and Roupp were the final two candidates for the Giants' fifth-starter spot after Kyle Harrison was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday. Birdsong recorded a 0.75 ERA across 12 Cactus League innings this spring, but he'll begin the 2025 regular season in the bullpen, possibly in a long reliever role.

Giants' Hayden Birdsong: OK after fingernail issue
Birdsong is expected to be fine after dealing with a cracked right middle fingernail during an appearance Sunday in an exhibition game versus Triple-A Sacramento, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Birdsong noted that it's something he battles with a lot and he expects to be fine after getting a fake fingernail put on the finger. The right-hander has made the Giants' Opening Day roster and is the team's presumed fifth starter, although the club has not yet confirmed what Birdsong's role will be.

Giants' Hayden Birdsong: Makes San Francisco's roster
Birdsong has made the Giants' Opening Day roster, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Birdsong has been in a battle with Landen Roupp for the final spot in the Giants' rotation, and while the team has yet to confirm it, it appears Birdsong will break camp as the fifth starter and Roupp will be used in the bullpen. The 23-year-old Birdsong earned the spot following a fantastic Cactus League showing that saw him allow just one run with an 18:0 K:BB over 12 innings of work.

Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Returns to action
Lee (back) went 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 exhibition loss to Triple-A Sacramento.
Lee returned to action after missing over a week with a sore back, but he didn't look any worse for the wear Sunday. The 26-year-old stands to operate as the Giants' primary center fielder in 2025, and he now appears to be on track to be a full go for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Reds.

Giants' Sam Huff: Set to open year with Giants
Huff is expected to operate as the Giants' backup catcher to begin the regular season, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Huff appears set to make his Giants debut in the team's opening series in Cincinnati after being claimed off waivers by San Francisco in January. Patrick Bailey is expected to be San Francisco's starting catcher while Huff will handle the top reserve role with Tom Murphy (back) on the shelf for the time being.

Giants' Jerar Encarnacion: Set for surgery
Encarnacion (hand) will undergo hand surgery in Los Angeles on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Encarnacion suffered a fractured left hand Friday against the Guardians, which will now be addressed via a procedure. The 27-year-old will miss at least a month of action while recovering. In the meantime, Wilmer Flores stands to operate in a more significant role with the Giants to open the season.

Giants' Sean Hjelle: Sent to Triple-A
Hjelle was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Hjelle will open the 2025 campaign at Triple-A after compiling a 6.75 ERA and 1.63 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 12.0 innings in seven appearances with the Giants this spring. The right-hander appeared in 58 games with San Francisco in 2024, producing a 3.90 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 75 strikeouts over 80.2 frames, and he'll likely join the major-league roster relatively soon.

Giants' Landen Roupp: In tight battle for starting role
Roupp remains neck-and-neck with Hayden Birdsong for the fifth-starter role, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
With Kyle Harrison having been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento, Birdsong and Roupp are now the final candidates for the last starting spot. The 26-year-old Roupp has recorded a 3.75 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB over 12 Cactus League innings this spring, and he was considered the frontrunner coming into camp. The right-hander made 23 appearances (four starts) for the Giants in the 2024 campaign, during which he logged a 3.58 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 47:26 K:BB over 50.1 frames. The Giants are expected to get a look at both candidates during Sunday's tune-up game against Triple-A Sacramento, which may help decide the competition.

Giants' Hayden Birdsong: Still in mix for fifth-starter role
Birdsong remains neck-and-neck with Landen Roupp for the fifth-starter role, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Birdsong and Roupp are the final candidates for the fifth-starter spot after the Giants optioned Kyle Harrison to Triple-A Sacramento. Birdsong has made four appearances during Cactus League play, recording a 0.75 ERA, 0.50 WHIP and 18:0 K:BB over 12 frames. The 23-year-old made 16 starts for San Francisco during the 2024 campaign, registering a 4.75 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 88:43 K:BB over 72 innings. The Giants will likely take a look at both candidates during Sunday's tune-up game against Triple-A Sacramento, which may help decide who wins the final starting spot.

Giants' Kyle Harrison: Loses out on rotation spot
The Giants optioned Harrison to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Harrison was among the players vying for the final spot in the big-league rotation, but he didn't do much in the Cactus League to help his case, allowing eight earned runs in just 6.2 innings. He'll be joined in Sacramento's rotation by Keaton Winn, leaving Hayden Birdsong and Landen Roupp as the remaining options for San Francisco.
