Giants place Nate Furman on 10-day injured list

Nate Furman

SF 2nd Baseman

Player Stats

Giants placed INF Nate Furman on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 16, with a right oblique strain.

The Giants had been hopeful that Furman would be able to play through the issue, but after a couple of days it made more sense to sit him down and let the injury heal properly. Victor Bericoto was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday night.

Giants recalled INF Nate Furman from Triple-A Sacramento.

Furman has gone 0-for-6 at the plate during five games with the Giants this season. He gets another opportunity with Willy Adames (elbow) and Victor Bericoto (knee) heading to the injured list.
Nate Furman

SF 2nd Baseman

Giants optioned 2B Nate Furman to Triple-A Sacramento.

He went 0-for-6 with two walks after coming up ahead of the trade deadline. The 24-year-old was hitting .284/.370/.405 for Sacramento before his recall.
Luis Arraez

PHI 2nd Baseman #1

Phillies acquired 2B Luis Arraez and RHP Caleb Kilian from the Giants for Ramon Marquez and RHP Marty Gair.

The Phillies will be mixing things all up to accommodate Arraez, with Bryson Stott moving to third, Alec Bohm going to first and Bryce Harper returning to the outfield for the first time since elbow surgery. It’s probably worth it to add Arraez to the lineup, though it would have been cheaper in prospect cost just to add an outfielder and keep the infield as it was. Arraez, a free agent at season’s end, should get a little value boost in Philly, though the ballpark upgrade probably doesn’t make much of a difference here like it would with a more traditional power hitter. The Giants will give Nate Furman and Osleivis Barabe looks at second base for now.
Nate Furman

SF 2nd Baseman

Giants selected the contract of INF Nate Furman from Triple-A Sacramento.

Furman will have a chance to make his MLB debut after spending four seasons in the minors. The 25-year-old has forged a .770 OPS with seven homers and 18 stolen bases in Sacramento prior to the promotion. It seems likely that Furman will just be a bench bat while he’s with the team as the replacement for Jesús Rodriguez, with Rodriguez hitting the shelf in a corresponding move due to elbow bursitis.
Nate Furman

SF 2nd Baseman

Giants acquired 2B Nate Furman from the Guardians as the player to be named in the Alex Cobb trade.

A middle infielder in college, Furman, 23, has played second base and third base for Cleveland since being their fourth-round pick back in 2022. He suffered a strained right shoulder in June and was put on the minor league 60-day IL back in July, but he was enjoying a breakout season before that, posting a .338/.417/.500 slash line in 176 plate appearances at High-A before being promoted to Double-A and landing on the IL after just 13 games. Furman is 47-for-54 in stolen base attempts during his pro career and has shown great plate discipline with a 13.6 percent walk rate against a 13.9 percent strikeout rate. He profiles as to be a top-of-the-lineup bat who could really blossom if he can add more power to his game this season.

Jonny DeLuca hit a game-tying single in the 12th inning to help the Rays to a win over the Brewers in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday.

DeLuca took advantage of a drawn-in infield with runners on first-and-third and singled up the middle to tie the game at 3-3. It was his only hit of the game and he has scuffled mightily over this postseason, but he keeps the Rays alive with a chance to make the series a little tighter with a Game 5 win Wednesday.

Cooper Pratt went 4-for-5 with a go-ahead homer in the 12th inning in a Game 4 loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

Pratt also singled twice and doubled, but the hit he will remember forever was his go-ahead homer off Ian Seymour that gives the Brew Crew a 3-2 lead in the 12th. Unfortunately for Pratt and the Brew Crew, it wasn’t enough with Tampa Bay scoring twice in the bottom of the frame. The 22-year-old has been outstanding in the postseason minus some mental gaffes, but the Brewers will need to win one more game to clinch that first championship.

Ben Williamson hit a walk-off single in the 12th inning to give the Rays a 4-3 win over the Brewers in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday.

Yep, just like we all predicted. With the bases loaded, Williamson took a defensive hack that scooted through the turf of Tampa Bay to give the Rays a win and staved off elimination for at least one more game. The 25-year-old has his first-ever postseason RBI, and likely won’t be in the lineup in Game 5 come Wednesday. He’ll be able to stay he had a game-winning hit in the World Series, however, which has to feel pretty dang good.

Griffin Jax

TB Starting Pitcher #22
Player Stats

Griffin Jax allowed two runs while working four innings Tuesday in a Game 4 start against the Brewers on Tuesday.

Jax gave up a ton of loud contact with nine balls in play registering as hard hits. He also generated 11 swings and misses and six strikeouts, so it was more of a case of poor command than lack of stuff. He also was almost assuredly left in too long, and gave up a homer to David Hamilton in the fifth before exiting. Jax did a solid job as a starter for Tampa Bay in 2026, and he’ll likely be back in the middle of the Rays’ rotation in 2027, but he likely will be an option in Game 6 or 7 if Tampa Bay can force one.

Dustin May gave up two runs in three innings while not factoring in the decision against the Rays on Tuesday in Game 4 of the World Series.

May pounded the strike zone, and threw 30-of-39 pitches for strikes without issuing a walk. He found too much of the plate a time or two too many, however, and gave up an RBI double to Chandler Simpson and was charged for another run in the fourth after exiting with zero outs. May has a $20 million option that will assuredly be declined, so he’ll be a free agent who should have a decent market this winter. He could also pitch at some point out of the bullpen over the next few games, if necessary.

Dustin May will start Game 4 of the World Series, the Brewers confirmed.

It sounds like Brandon Woodruff would have opened tonight if he hadn’t finished last night’s game. As is, May will make his second start of the postseason after pitching in relief his last three times out. He’s surrendered five runs in eight innings thus far in October. The Brewers figure to be very aggressive tonight with all of their key relievers having enjoyed back-to-back days off.

The Rays have Jonathan Aranda back at first base but are starting Ryan Vilade over Victor Mesa Jr. in right field in Tuesday’s Game 4 against the Brewers.

Vilade started over Aranda at first base against a lefty on Monday. That Mesa committed a miscue in that one might factor into him taking a seat tonight, but on paper, going to Vilade against a righty seems like a bit of a downgrade both offensively and defensively. The Rays’ lineup as they try to extend the series: DH Yandy Díaz, 1B Aranda, 3B Junior Caminero, C Liam Hicks, CF Jonny DeLuca, LF Chandler Simpson, RF Vilade, 2B Richie Palacio and SS Taylor Walls.

Sal Frelick has been moved up to sixth, swapping spots with Garrett Mitchell, in the Brewers’ Game 4 lineup on Tuesday.

It’s the first change of the World Series for the Brewers, but they’re going with the same nine while facing a fourth straight righty. Frelick moves up despite taking a hard fall on his troublesome right shoulder late last night. He’s 4-for-11 with a homer through three games, compared to 2-for-11 for Mitchell. The lineup: LF Jackson Chourio, 1B Jake Bauers, DH Christian Yelich, C William Contreras, 2B Brice Turang, RF Frelick, SS Cooper Pratt, CF Mitchell and 3B David Hamilton.

Joe Espada and Jason Kanzler are the two finalists for the Mariners’ managerial job, according to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times.

Rocco Baldelli might have been the favorite for the gig before withdrawing from consideration. Now it’s down to Espada, who spent the last three years managing the Astros, and Kanzler, the Cubs’ farm director who would be managing for the first time. A decision should come before the end of the week.

Jeff Hoffman underwent debridement surgery on his right elbow, the Twins revealed.

He also had a bone chip removed. Hoffman missed the final weekend of the season, going on the IL with forearm inflammation. It was his first absence of any sort since 2022. He’s expected to resume throwing in eight weeks and should have a normal spring training, if there happens to be a normal spring training. Barring an expensive signing, he seems like the current favorite to close for the Twins next year.
