Giants Outright Eric Cerantola to AAA Sacramento

San Francisco waived the right-handed reliever during the All-Star break, sending him to Triple-A and trimming the 40-man roster to 39.

The San Francisco Giants waived reliever Eric Cerantola and outrighted him to AAA Sacramento during the All-Star break. Cerantola, a 2021 fifth-round pick by Kansas City, made his MLB debut this season before the Royals designated him for assignment. The Giants had claimed him off waivers earlier this month, but he appeared in only two games at Sacramento before being waived again. The move leaves San Francisco with 39 players on their 40-man roster.

Giants Outright Eric Cerantola to Triple-A After Clearing Waivers

San Francisco sent the right-hander through waivers unclaimed and assigned him to Sacramento, one week after claiming him from Kansas City.

The Giants claimed Eric Cerantola off waivers from the Royals roughly a week ago, sent him to Triple-A Sacramento, then placed him back on waivers. He went unclaimed this time and was outrighted to Sacramento. Cerantola has never appeared in a major league game for San Francisco. The move reduces the Giants' 40-man roster to 39. Because Cerantola has fewer than three years of service time, he cannot elect free agency following the outright assignment.

Arraez Trade Appears Imminent as Giants Lean Toward Dealing Him

San Francisco is expected to flip the All-Star second baseman to a contender before the deadline rather than extend him.

Luis Arraez is considered one of the most likely players to be moved before the August 3 trade deadline. The Giants, a struggling team, appear inclined to trade him for prospects rather than pursue an extension. Arraez has performed well since returning to second base and has stated he wants to remain at that position with any new team. He is heading into his fourth All-Star Game appearance and is an impending free agent.

Ramos Slugs Three HRs in Historic Giants Performance vs. Blue Jays

San Francisco outfielder Heliot Ramos became the first Giants player since 1920 to record two home runs and a little-league homer in a single game.

He hit two conventional home runs and added a little-league homer, a combination unseen in Giants history since 1920. Ramos credited pre-game cage work and batting practice adjustments to his swing path. The performance signals elevated form and power output that may be relevant for near-term projections.

Giants Claim RHP Eric Cerantola From Royals

San Francisco adds a 26-year-old right-hander with a mid-80s slider after Kansas City designated him for assignment last week.

The Giants claimed Eric Cerantola off waivers from the Royals, who had designated him for assignment the prior week. Cerantola, 26, has just 5 1/3 big league innings to his name, posting a 10.13 ERA in that small sample. He has been assigned to Triple-A Sacramento, requiring no corresponding 40-man roster move. FanGraphs recently ranked him the No. 28 prospect in the Royals system, with evaluators high on his mid-80s slider.

Roupp Starts Carry Historic Losing Streak for Giants

San Francisco has dropped every one of Landen Roupp's 11 starts in 2025, putting a dubious franchise record on the line vs. Toronto.

The San Francisco Giants have lost all 11 games Landen Roupp has started this season heading into Monday's matchup against the Blue Jays. A Giants loss in this start would establish a new San Francisco record for consecutive team losses in a single pitcher's starts. The streak is a notable team-level performance signal surrounding Roupp's outings regardless of his individual stats. This game carries added historical context for Giants bettors and analysts tracking team support patterns.

Giants Confirmed as Trade Deadline Sellers for 2026

Buster Posey has acknowledged San Francisco is trending toward selling at the deadline, with the team holding one of baseball's worst records.

The San Francisco Giants carry a 35-49 record, fourth-worst in MLB, and president of baseball operations Buster Posey has conceded the team is trending toward being sellers at the trade deadline. San Francisco entered 2026 expecting to contend but ranks among the most disappointing clubs this season alongside the Mets, Tigers, and Red Sox. The pitching staff has been middling, with starters posting a 4.35 ERA (15th) and relievers a 4.30 ERA (17th). Barring a significant turnaround, the Giants are expected to be active sellers before the deadline.

San Francisco designated reliever Wilkin Ramos for assignment after he allowed 5 ER in 2 MLB innings, clearing a 40-man roster spot.

The Giants officially designated right-hander Wilkin Ramos for assignment, ending his brief major league stint. Ramos was called up earlier this month after posting a 2.00 ERA in 27 Triple-A innings but struggled badly at the MLB level, surrendering five earned runs in just two innings before being optioned back down. He continued to struggle in Triple-A, allowing nine earned runs in 5.2 innings. The move clears a 40-man roster spot for catcher Drew Cavanaugh, whose addition had been reported earlier in the day.
