Giants get down to 41 players on their 40 man roster in latest flurry of transactions

November 2, 2026

The San Francisco Giants trimmed their roster down to just one spot over the 40-man limit following a flurry of moves ahead of Thursday’s deadline. The team activated players from the injured list while clearing waivers for relievers José Buttó, Duncan Davitt, infielders Brett Harris, Shay Whitcomb, and catcher Zach Morgan, who were all claimed by other clubs.

Additionally, the Giants outrighted offseason signees Joel Kuhnel and Seth Lonsway while releasing Tristan Beck, further streamlining their active roster. The team now faces two key decisions: whether to exercise Rowan Wick’s option for 2027 and how to handle outfielder Harrison Bader, who remains suspended without pay amid potential roster implications tied to the grievance process.

With recent trades like Nate Furman’s departure and earlier transactions—including Andrew Knizner’s outright and JT Brubaker’s free agency election—the Giants now stand at 41 players on their 40-man roster. The current lineup includes catchers Daniel Susac, Drew Cavanaugh, and Jesús Rodríguez, along with a mix of established stars and younger talent across the infield and outfield.

The pitching staff remains deep, featuring both veteran arms and prospects vying for roles as the season winds down.
