Written about him
San Francisco Used The Same Roster Spot For Two Major League Debuts On Saturday
San Francisco handed out two major league debuts on Saturday, eight hours apart, and used one active-roster spot to do it. Seth Lonsway, 27, threw two innings of relief in a 7-1 loss in the first game and was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento between games so the club could add Yunior Marte, a 23-year-old right-hander promoted directly from Double-A Richmond. Marte started the second game and gave up one run in four and two-thirds innings of a 7-2 win. He had thrown 291 professional innings before Saturday and none of them at Triple-A. The 40-man spot came from Casey Schmitt, moved from the 10-day to the 60-day injured list with a left knee meniscus tear he has carried since July 28. Marte is the eleventh man to start a game for the Giants in 2026 and the fourteenth to debut for them, a figure MLB.com's Maria Guardado reports is second in the majors behind the White Sox. Six of the fourteen came between April 1 and June 26, none in July, and eight in August. Two takes filed.
Both Of The Arms San Francisco Added Saturday Last Pitched On August 23
San Francisco made three pitching moves on Saturday morning before a split doubleheader against Arizona: Matt Wilkinson recalled from Sacramento, the contract of left-hander Seth Lonsway selected from Sacramento, and Spencer Bivens optioned to Sacramento. Wilkinson and Lonsway both last pitched on August 23, which is the thing they have in common and the reason both are on the roster. Lonsway is 27, was signed by the Giants in July 2021, and has never appeared in a major league game; at Triple-A this season he has a 6.00 earned run average with 45 strikeouts against 49 walks in 72 innings. Arizona named Merrill Kelly and Mitch Bratt for the two games. San Francisco named nobody for either until late morning, when it posted Wilkinson, who had been recalled about four hours earlier, for the opener. Of the 34 starting pitcher slots on today's major league schedule, three were blank at mid-morning and two of them were San Francisco's. The active roster reads 27 men and 14 pitchers; the 40-man reads 39.
