Written about him
Spencer Bivens Threw More Innings In Sacramento Than Any Giants Reliever Threw In San Francisco
The Kansas City Royals claimed right-hander Spencer Bivens off waivers from San Francisco on September 12 and optioned him to Triple-A Omaha the same day, per both clubs' transaction feeds. San Francisco had designated him for assignment on September 9, the day it claimed Duncan Davitt off Atlanta, and its 40-man roster read 40 of 40 before the designation and reads 40 of 40 now. Bivens threw 75.0 innings in 35 appearances for Sacramento in 2026 at a 4.92 earned run average, and 5.0 innings in four appearances for San Francisco at 14.40. No San Francisco pitcher who made fewer than two starts threw more than JT Brubaker's 60.1 major league innings this season, and the leader among pitchers who made none is Caleb Kilian at 44.1. In 2025 Bivens led every San Francisco reliever with 81.0 innings in 54 games. Kansas City's open 40-man spot traced to the Yankees claiming John Schreiber on August 31. San Francisco has designated 13 players in 2026 and another club has claimed two of them. Omaha's season ends September 20. No take filed: both bounced at the desk price.
The Giants Have Ended Up With What Atlanta Paid For Joey Bart
San Francisco claimed right-handed pitcher Duncan Davitt off waivers from Atlanta on Wednesday, September 9, and designated right-hander Spencer Bivens for assignment the same day, with the 40-man roster already full. Atlanta had acquired Davitt from the Chicago White Sox on August 3 in exchange for catcher Joey Bart, whom San Francisco drafted second overall in 2018 and signed for $7,025,000. The Giants designated Bart for assignment on March 31, 2024 and traded him to Pittsburgh two days later for right-hander Austin Strickland, who never reached the major leagues and was released by High-A Eugene on August 3, 2026, the same day Atlanta traded Bart for Davitt. Davitt is 26, debuted with the White Sox on April 10, 2026, and has thrown two major league innings this season across two appearances. He has been on three organizations' paperwork in 2026. Bivens went undrafted in 2018, pitched in France, the Czech Republic and two independent leagues before the Giants signed him in May 2022, debuted at 29 in June 2024 and threw 81 innings for San Francisco in 2025; this year he has a 14.40 earned run average in five innings. San Francisco's 40-man roster reads 40 of 40 once the 15 players on the 60-day injured list are set aside. Atlanta is 85-61 and put him on waivers. San Francisco is 62-85 and eliminated, with 15 games left. Two takes filed.
