Undergoes hamate bone surgery Oliva underwent left hamate bone surgery Thursday in Los Angeles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The common recovery timeline for this type of procedure is 4-to-6 weeks, so Oliva will be out until mid-May even in a best-case scenario. He is 1-for-7 at the plate this season in his limited opportunities for the Giants.

Suffers hamate bone fracture The Giants placed Oliva on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left wrist hamate fracture.

Impact It's unfortunate timing for Oliva, who would have been in line for a playing time bump with Harrison Bader (hamstring) also shelved. Instead, Oliva is likely headed for surgery that will sideline him several weeks. He is 1-for-7 during his limited opportunities this season.

Speedy Oliva earns first MLB job since 2021; Giants DFA Matos SAN FRANCISCO -- For the first time since 2021, Jared Oliva can call himself a big leaguer. Oliva, 30, came into Giants camp as a non-roster...

MARCH 25 • MLB.COM

Makes Giants' roster The Giants selected Oliva's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

Impact Oliva was in camp as a non-roster invitee and earned a spot after slashing .375/.444/.550 with one home run and 14 steals in Cactus League action. The 30-year-old has not played in the majors since 2021 and is poised to back up at all three outfield spots.

Cracks first spring homer Oliva went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-7 Cactus League win over the Guardians.

Impact Oliva continued his strong spring Saturday, launching a three-run home run to left field in the fourth inning. The 30-year-old outfielder also singled on a bunt in the third before coming around to score. A non-roster invitee to spring training, Oliva is slashing .375/.444/.550 with 16 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, 10 RBI and one homer across 46 plate appearances in 20 Cactus League games. The Giants are still evaluating Oliva for a backup outfield role, though Luis Matos, Jerar Encarnacion, Drew Gilbert and Will Brennan are also vying for spots on the Opening Day roster.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Nets NRI pact from Giants The Giants signed Oliva to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training.

Impact Oliva spent the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Nashville in the Brewers organization, putting up a .748 OPS with 11 homers and 57 stolen bases. The 30-year-old has not seen any action at the big-league level since 2021 and is likely ticketed for Triple-A Sacramento to begin the 2026 season.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Sent packing from MLB camp The Brewers reassigned Oliva to minor-league camp Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Oliva appeared in 26 games in the big leagues for the Pirates between the 2020 and 2021, but the once-promising outfield prospect looks to be little more than an organizational depth piece at this stage of his career. The 29-year-old outfielder will likely report to Triple-A Nashville or Double-A Biloxi to begin the 2025 campaign after failing to make the cut with Milwaukee. Oliva played exclusively at the Double-A level in 2024, slashing .294/.378/.463 with seven home runs and 36 stolen bases over 248 plate appearances with Seattle's affiliate in Arkansas.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nets spring invite from Milwaukee The Brewers signed Oliva to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Oliva spent the 2024 season at Double-A Arkansas in the Mariners organization, posting an .841 OPS with seven homers and 37 stolen bases. Slated to turn 29 later this week, Oliva last appeared in the majors in 2021 with the Pirates.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Loses roster spot Oliva was designated for assignment Thursday.

Impact Oliva had already been optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis, though he's now lost his grip on a roster spot with the team. Once a relatively well-regarded prospect, Oliva posted only a .249/.321/.364 line across 249 plate appearances with Indianapolis in 2021. The move makes room for Josh VanMeter, who was acquired by the Pirates on Thursday.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning season in Triple-A Oliva was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Impact Oliva was a long shot to make the Opening Day roster with Bryan Reynolds and Ben Gamel locked into playing time and Anthony Alford out of minor-league options. Though he'll begin the season in the minors, Oliva could become an option for the big-league club if injuries, trades or poor performance occur among any of the team's outfield options.

Stallings' RBI in 9th sends Pirates to 3-2 win over Phillies

Jacob Stallings drove in the winning run with a fielder’s choice in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sa...

AUGUST 1, 2021 • Associated Press

Optioned to Triple-A Oliva was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Oliva shifted to a bench role recently, and he had started just two games since the All-Star break. In nine appearances during that time, the 25-year-old went 3-for-13 with two runs and an RBI. He should see more consistent playing time in the minors, while Hoy Park will take his place on the active roster.

Moves into bench role Oliva is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact Oliva had started in four of the Pirates' final six games before the All-Star break, but he's been on the bench for three straight contests to kick off the second half. The 25-year-old looks like he'll be limited to a depth role in the outfield now that Gregory Polanco (hip) is healthy again.

JULY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes bag Friday Oliva went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 13-4 loss to the Mets.

Impact Oliva doubled, stole third and scored on an Adam Frazier single in the fifth inning. With Gregory Polanco (hip) and Ka'ai Tom (back) on the injured list, Oliva has seen semi-consistent playing time in July. He's hitting just .125 with two doubles, an RBI, a run scored and steal while striking out eight times in 26 plate appearances so far.

JULY 7, 2021 • Associated Press

Gets another outfield start Oliva went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's 2-0 win over Milwaukee.

Impact With Gregory Polanco nursing an injury, Oliva started all three weekend games in right field. He went 1-for-11 with his first RBI while striking out six times. While the 26-year-old wasn't particularly impressive, he could see regular playing time if injuries strike any of the three outfield starters ahead of him.
