San Francisco Got The Better MRI And Called Up A Man Who Has Never Pitched Up Here

San Francisco placed Adrian Houser on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right forearm strain, transferred Carson Whisenhunt to the 60-day list, and selected the contract of right-hander Braxton Roxby from Triple-A Sacramento. Roxby is 27, has pitched in 211 professional games across six seasons, and has never appeared in a major league game. He came to the Giants in January 2025 as the return in a salary trade. His strikeout rate at Sacramento this year is 22.6 percent, against 30.8 percent across his five previous professional seasons. Houser's 2022 flexor strain in the same arm cost him 54 days; the Giants have 32 left before their last scheduled game on September 27.
