Giants Starting Pitcher

Robbie Ray: 0-0, 0.00 ERA

Ray will make his second start of spring training on Friday. In his first start, he pitched one inning and gave up one hit, with the frame ending with a bizarre triple play that started on a single to right field. He walked two and struck out none. He only threw 18 pitches. The goal for Ray is likely two innings of work.

Giants Injuries

RHP Joel Peguero: His left hamstring tightness is progressing, and he should be able to begin a throwing program in the next 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.
