The San Francisco Giants took a break from the Cactus League to play Team USA in an exhibition game. But now it's time to get back to spring training.

The Giants (8-2) have the best record in the Cactus League by percentage and will put that lead on the line on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners (3-7) in the first night game of the spring. First pitch is set for 6:05 p.m. pacific time and the game will be on TV on NBC Sports Bay Area.

The roster is missing several pieces for the next several days as Giants that are playing in the World Baseball Classic have headed off to their assignments. That included pitcher Logan Webb, who is pitching for Team USA and was with them when they faced the Giants in Tuesday’s exhibition game. It put Webb in the weird position of playing in his spring training home in a different uniform.   

Here is a breakdown of today’s game, including the starting pitcher, lineup, injuries and other notes.

Giants Starting Pitcher

LHP Robbie Ray: 0-0, 3.00

He is coming around for his third turn in the spring training rotation and has looked sharp in his first two outings. In three innings he has given up two hits and one run, while he has struck out one and walked three. He's only thrown 50 pitches in two games, so expect him to ramp up a bit as he tries to cut down on the walks.

INF Rafael Devers: He is progressing from a tight hamstring and could return to spring training games this weekend.

OF Harrison Bader: He left Friday’s game with a right thumb contusion. He will miss a few days. He is also with Team Israel for the WBC.

RHP Joel Peguero: Peguero should be returning to game action this week.  

LHP Sam Hentges: The Giants signed him knowing he missed all of 2025 with right knee surgery and would need a slower ramp-up in spring training.

RHP Jason Foley: San Francisco signed the former Tigers closer with the idea that he would be ready at midseason after anterior capsule surgery in his right shoulder. He is on the 60-day injured list.

RHP Rowan Wick: Signed earlier this month, he’ll miss the 2026 season after Tommy John surgery and is on the 60-day injured list.

RHP Randy Rodríguez: He suffered an elbow injury late last season and had Tommy John surgery. He is expected to miss the season and is on the 60-day injured list.
