The Giants return to their home field in San Francisco on Monday following a disastrous 0-6 road trip and are summoning help.
Multiple outlets reported that the Giants are calling up top prospect Bryce Eldridge and catcher/third baseman Jesus Rodriguez. NBC Sports Bay Area said both players will be available when the Giants open a three-game series Monday night against National League West rival San Diego.
Corresponding moves are not yet known.
The Giants scored only nine runs on their swing against the Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays. Five of those runs came in an extra-inning loss, and the Giants were shut out twice.
San Francisco is the worst team in the majors in runs (106), home runs (19), RBIs (101), bases on balls (69) and on-base percentage (.287) under first-year manager Tony Vitello.
The Giants will hope Eldridge and Rodriguez can help to unlock the offense.
The 6-foot-7, 250-pound Eldridge is just 21 and was the Giants' first-round draft pick in 2023.
In 30 games this season at Triple-A Sacramento, the first baseman is batting .333 with a .963 OPS. He has six doubles, five home runs, 22 RBIs and 25 runs. He also has walked 20 times.
The biggest knock on Eldridge is his penchant for striking out -- 41 times in 114 at-bats this season -- but the Giants apparently feel they are out of time to work on that at the Triple-A level.
The Giants called him up briefly last season, and he batted .107 with four RBIs and 13 strikeouts in 10 games.
MLB Pipeline ranks Eldridge as the No. 20 prospect in baseball and No. 1 in the San Francisco system. It has Rodriguez ranked No. 18 among Giants prospects.
In 24 games at Sacramento, Rodriguez is hitting .330 with two homers and 14 RBIs. The 24-year-old has played in 431 games in the minors since 2019 and has a career average of .311 with 34 homers and 240 RBIs.
