Jonah Cox - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Activated and optioned The Giants activated Cox (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento.

Impact Cox has recovered from an oblique strain that's kept him out for nearly a month, but he'll remain in Sacramento where he had been on a rehab assignment. The speedy outfielder has posted a .769 OPS with one homer and four steals in 24 major-league contests in 2026.

Begins rehab assignment Cox (oblique) went 0-for-3 in Triple-A Sacramento's 5-4 win over Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact Cox landed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain July 8. Although he didn't reach base and struck out twice Wednesday, his return to game action suggests he could be nearing a return to the big leagues. The 24-year-old outfielder was called up from Double-A Richmond on May 31 and slashed .269/.269/.500 with five runs scored, four stolen bases, three RBI and a home run across 29 plate appearances before being placed on the injured list.

Drawing closer to rehab assignment Cox (oblique) was able to do some baserunning Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Cox has been on the injured list since July 8 due to a left oblique strain, but his ability to run the bases suggests that a rehab assignment could soon be on the horizon. The rookie outfielder had produced a .269/.269/.500 batting line with one home run, four stolen bases, three RBI and five runs over 29 plate appearances with the Giants prior to landing on the shelf.

Heads to IL with oblique strain The Giants placed Cox on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left oblique strain.

Impact Since his placement on the IL is retroactive to Monday, Cox will be eligible to rejoin the Giants' active roster following the All-Star break, though even mild oblique strains often carry recovery timelines of multiple weeks. Since being called up from Double-A Richmond on May 31, Cox has hit .269 with one home run, four steals, three RBI and five runs in 24 games while serving mainly as a short-side platoon player in the outfielder.

Bypassing Triple-A for majors The Giants selected Cox's contract from Double-A Richmond on Sunday.

Impact Regarded as one of the better prospects in the Giants system, Cox will skip over the Triple-A level and head to the majors after producing a monstrous .400/.453/.644 with six home runs and 27 stolen bases across 183 plate appearances in the Eastern League. Set to turn 25 years old in August, Cox was older than most of his peers at Double-A, but his eye-popping numbers nonetheless make him a player to track as he makes the jump to the majors. The right-handed-hitting Cox isn't included in the lineup Sunday while the Giants face off against righty Tanner Gordon in the series finale in Colorado, so he could see most of his usage versus left-handed pitching initially.
