Mayer’s Debut Delayed by Injury | San Francisco Giants News

The Boston Red Sox pulled off a surprise trade, sending infielder Marcelo Mayer to the Giants just before the 2026 deadline—despite his lingering bone stress injury in his left ulna. Though fans buzzed about a potential debut against his old team, the Giants are wisely holding off, prioritizing his health over drama. Mayer’s been rehabbing with Triple-A Sacramento since August 13th, and while the Giants are headed to Boston for a series starting Friday, any return is likely to wait until he’s fully cleared. The move underscores patience over spectacle—health first, then history. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
