www.nbcsports.comHere’s the latest I could compile from recent reports:
-
Drew Gilbert is currently with the San Francisco Giants. Recent updates indicate he’s been working back from a left shoulder impingement, with some reports noting he’s cleared to serve as a designated hitter in Cactus League games but not yet ready to play defense. He’s been in the mix for a reserve outfielder role, though the shoulder issue complicates chances for a regular lineup spot. [Sources summarized from recent Giants-related reporting]
-
In spring and early 2026 roster moves, Gilbert began the season in the minor leagues, being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento to start the year after contending for an Opening Day roster. He later was recalled to the big club as part of ongoing evaluations. This indicates the organization is continuing to gauge his readiness and role at the MLB level.
-
On the field in 2026, Gilbert has shown some offensive contributions in limited playing time, including a run of multi-hit games and occasional power, contributing as a part-time option in the Giants’ outfield mix during his call-ups. However, his overall batting line has been uneven as he adjusts to major-league pitching.
