José Buttó - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Moves to 60-day IL The Giants transferred Butto (arm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Butto has already been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery Saturday to repair an artery in his arm, so moving to 60-day IL has no impact on his timeline. He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to Eric Haase, who was selected from Triple-A Sacramento to replace Daniel Susac (elbow) on the active roster.

Out for season Butto underwent surgery Saturday to repair an artery in his right arm, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Butto previously had a blood clot removed from his arm, and his latest procedure will require 5-to-6 months of rehab, meaning he won't be able to make it back before the end of the season. He'll end 2026 with five earned runs allowed over just two innings.

Out multiple months Butto will miss the next 2-4 months after undergoing surgery Saturday to remove a blood clot from his right arm, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Butto was diagnosed with a blood clot after leaving his appearance Wednesday against San Diego with arm fatigue. His timeline leaves room for him to return to the Giants' bullpen before the end of the season, though that likely won't happen until closer to the All-Star break.

Diagnosed with blood clot Butto was diagnosed with a blood clot in his right arm and will undergo a procedure Friday to remove it, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Butto exited his appearance Wednesday alongside a trainer before landing on the injured list Thursday with right forearm fatigue. The Giants haven't announced a timeline for the 28-year-old's return, but he's now likely to spend far more time on the injured list than the 15-day minimum.

Impact Butto made an early exit from his appearance against the Padres on Wednesday due to a forearm issue, and he'll now spend at least the next couple of weeks on the injured list getting his forearm back to full strength.

Dealing with arm tightness Butto was removed during the eighth inning of the Giants' 7-1 loss to the Padres on Wednesday due to right arm tightness, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Butto was brought in for the eighth to keep the Giants' deficit at two runs, but he recorded just one out while allowing four runs on three hits and four walks, tossing 28 pitches (eight strikes) before being pulled. The Giants should have an update over the next couple of days once Butto undergoes further tests on his arm.

Butto began the 2025 campaign with the Mets but was traded to San Francisco in late July.
