Summoned to majors San Francisco recalled Bivens from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Bivens is taking the bullpen spot of Matt Gage, who landed on the 15-day injured list due to a left elbow strain Saturday. It will be the first stint with the big-league club this season for Bivens. The righty reliever appeared in 54 regular-season games for the Giants in 2025, posting a 4.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 61:25 over 81 innings while logging four wins, three saves and four holds. He'll likely fill a low-leverage spot while up with San Francisco.

Relegated to Sacramento The Giants optioned Bivens to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Bivens logged a 4.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 81 innings last year while spending the entire year with San Francisco, but he'll be sent back to Triple-A to kick off the 2026 campaign. The 31-year-old boasts a 3.68 ERA in his MLB career and allowed just four earned runs in 10.1 Cactus League innings, so he'll likely be one of the first relievers called up whenever the Giants need a fresh bullpen arm.

Scoreless outing in spring loss Bivens allowed two hits in one scoreless inning during Thursday's 11-3 Cactus League loss to the Rockies.

Impact Bivens escaped the third inning without allowing a run after surrendering a pair of singles. He tossed 10 of his 11 pitches for strikes and primarily relied on his sinker, which he threw five times. The 31-year-old is likely to make the Opening Day roster in a relief role after spending all of last season in the majors with San Francisco. Over 54 relief appearances in 2025, the right-hander posted a 4.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 61:25 K:BB across 81 innings.

Collects second save of 2025 Bivens closed things out in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies after striking out one batter across two-thirds of an inning to come away with the save.

Impact Ryan Walker was brought in to close things out in the ninth inning, but he was pulled after yielding a solo homer to Jordan Beck before allowing two more baserunners. The Giants turned to Bivens, who proceeded to strike out Warming Bernabel before plunking Ryan Ritter to load the bases, but Bivens was able to secure the win after getting Ezequiel Tovar to pop out in foul territory. Biven sits at a 4.10 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 79 innings this season.

Justin Verlander Becomes 10th MLB Pitcher To Reach 3,500 Career Strikeouts

Works bulk innings Sunday Bivens allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over three innings of relief in a no-decision versus the Mets on Sunday.

Impact This was a bullpen game for the Giants, though Bivens had the heaviest workload. He threw 41 of 58 pitches for strikes in a decent performance to help give the Giants' ailing rotation a day off. Bivens has a 4.58 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 43:17 K:BB through 53 innings over 35 relief appearances this season. He has minimal past experience as a starter, so expect the 31-year-old right-hander to continue to serve as a multi-inning reliever.
