"The Giants announced Wednesday that top prospect Bryce Eldridge will undergo surgery tomorrow to remove a bone spur from his left wrist. The procedure comes with an eight-week recovery timetable, which should afford Eldridge ample time to be ready for spring training. San Francisco's first-round pick in 2023, Eldridge made his big league debut late in the season at just 20 years of age."
"Perhaps predictably, given his youth and lack of upper-minors experience, Eldridge struggled and often looked overmatched. He appeared in 10 games, took 37 plate appearances and turned in just a .107/.297/.179 batting line with 13 strikeouts (35.1%). None of that diminishes Eldridge's long-term outlook. He skyrocketed through the minors and logged a .260/.333/.510 batting line with 25 homers in just 433 plate appearances across three levels this year."
Bryce Eldridge will have surgery to remove a bone spur from his left wrist and faces an eight-week recovery that should allow readiness for spring training. Eldridge was the Giants' 2023 first-round pick and debuted in the majors late in the season at age 20 after being called up as a potential spark. He struggled in 10 games, hitting .107/.297/.179 with 13 strikeouts in 37 plate appearances, but produced a .260/.333/.510 line with 25 homers across three minor-league levels in 433 plate appearances. Rankings keep him among baseball's top 20 prospects, and long-term plans anticipate him and Rafael Devers splitting first base and DH duties.
