Bryce Eldridge's recent performances have prompted scrutiny of the San Francisco Giants' early season decisions regarding his playing time. The team struggled in 2026 under manager Tony Vitello, particularly in offensive production. Eldridge began his MLB career slowly, hitting.156 in limited at-bats, but has since thrived, posting a.391 batting average and 1.157 OPS over the past 20 games. This upswing makes the Giants' earlier reluctance to start him look increasingly dubious.

- •Since then, he has hit four homers and 11 RBIs in 20 games.
- •His recent form has led to daily starts in the lineup.
