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.

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.

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.

The left-hander is expected to be ready for spring training and will look to return to form following his lengthy absence.

Impact Non-tendered by the Guardians last week, Hentges missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from left shoulder surgery and also underwent arthroscopic right knee surgery in September.
