Giants Top Prospect Bryce Eldridge Undergoes Wrist Surgery, Expected Ready for Spring Training

San Francisco Giants' top prospect, 20-year-old Bryce Eldridge, is scheduled for offseason surgery on his left wrist to remove a bone spur, the team announced Tuesday. The 6-foot-7 first baseman, who was the 16th overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, will undergo an eight-week rehabilitation process. This recovery timeline is not expected to impact his preparation for spring training or his availability for the upcoming 2026 season. Eldridge joined the MLB roster in mid-September 2025, finishing with a .107 average in 10 games, a struggle that may have been attributed to the wrist issue. Prior to his call-up, he hit 18 home runs in 66 Triple-A games, after starting the season in rookie ball and playing 34 games at Double-A. Giants general manager Zack Minasian stated the team remains open-minded about Eldridge's long-term position, emphasizing the offseason focus is on his full recovery.
