Logs scoreless inning in rehab game Hentges (knee/shoulder) struck out one in a scoreless inning during Triple-A Sacramento's 7-6 win over Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact After tossing a scoreless inning for Single-A San Jose on Sunday, Hentges advanced to Sacramento for the next step of his rehab assignment and threw eight of his 13 pitches for strikes. The 29-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched in a big-league game since 2024 but appears to be trending in the right direction after undergoing left shoulder surgery in September 2024 and arthroscopic right knee surgery in August 2025.

Begins rehab assignment Hentges threw one scoreless inning in Single-A San Jose's 3-2 win over Visalia on Sunday.

Impact Hentges returned to game action following a long layoff while recovering from left shoulder surgery he underwent in September 2024 and arthroscopic right knee surgery in August 2025. He threw five of his 10 pitches for strikes in a scoreless first inning. The left-hander may require a lengthy ramp-up period after the extended absence, though he is expected to return at some point during the first half of the season.

Progressing in recovery Hentges (shoulder/knee) threw live batting practice in Arizona on Wednesday and is nearing a rehab assignment, per MLB.com.

Impact Hentges continues to ramp up after undergoing left shoulder surgery in September 2024 and arthroscopic right knee surgery in August 2025.

The 29-year-old hasn't pitched in a game since 2024, when he recorded a 3.04 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB across 23.2 innings in 25 relief outings for Cleveland.

Tosses live BP on Monday Hentges (knee/shoulder) threw 20 pitches during his live batting practice in Arizona on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Hentges continues to progress in his recovery from surgeries on his left shoulder and right knee. He opened the season on the 15-day injured list and will need to embark on a rehab assignment before being cleared for major-league action. The last time Hentges pitched in the majors was in 2024 with the Guardians, when he appeared in 25 regular-season games and posted a 3.04 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, nine holds and a 27:5 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

Shifts to injured list The Giants placed Hentges (shoulderknee) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact The left-hander is working his way back from surgeries on his shoulder and knee, and he's not ready for the start of the regular season. Hentges progressed to facing live batters late in spring training, so he could be ready for a rehab assignment in the near future.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Not game-ready yet Hentges (shoulder/knee) will throw one more bullpen session before advancing to facing hitters, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Hentges has been throwing off the mound since the beginning of Giants camp, but the club is being slow and steady with his progression following left shoulder surgery in September 2024 and arthroscopic right knee surgery in August 2025. The southpaw will likely face hitters at least a couple times before he's ready to pitch in games. The deliberate pace the Giants have Hentges on suggests they might put him on the injured list to begin the season.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Without timetable for return Hentges (shoulder/knee) has been throwing 40-pitch bullpen sessions, though he has yet to face hitters and does not have an exact timetable for a return, Maria Guardado of MLB.com...

Impact Hentges is still ramping up after undergoing left shoulder surgery in September 2024 and arthroscopic right knee surgery last August. The left-hander said he hopes to get some games in during spring training, though Guardado relayed that there's a chance he won't be ready for Opening Day. Hentges missed the entire 2025 campaign due to the shoulder surgery. During the 2024 season with Cleveland, he recorded a 3.04 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB across 23.2 innings over 25 relief appearances.
