Impact The right-hander replaced Landen Roupp in the fifth inning, inheriting a bases-loaded jam with one out.

Logs first win of 2025 Bivens (1-1) allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out one over two innings, earning the win in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings victory over the Mariners.

Impact Bivens entered Friday's matchup in the 10th frame, allowing a walk but no runs. The 30-year-old began the 11th inning by inducing a groundout, but he gave up a line-drive single to center field and subsequently walked the next batter, loading the bases with one out. The Mariners took a 9-8 lead after Bivens allowed the automatic runner to score on a wild pitch, though he escaped the frame with no earned runs. The right-handed reliever picked up the win after Willy Adames' two-run, walk-off single that sealed the game in the 11th. Bivens has made three appearances this season, allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings.

Lock for Opening Day roster The Giants announced Monday that Bivens has made the Opening Day roster, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Bivens will presumably slot in near the front end of San Francisco's bullpen to begin the campaign, though he did earn one save at the end of the 2024 regular season when Ryan Walker wasn't available due to workload. The 30-year-old's big-league career is off to a promising start after posting a 3.14 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with a 37:11 K:BB over 48.2 frames a year ago with a chance to further establish himself in 2025.

MARCH 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs first save Bivens allowed a hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Bivens has mostly been used in long-relief spots this year, but he was called on for a save chance after Ryan Walker pitched in a high-leverage spot in the eighth inning. Bivens was up to the task, earning his first major-league save, though he's not unfamiliar with the closing role after earning eight saves with Triple-A Sacramento in 2024. In the majors, Bivens has a 3.14 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB across 48.2 innings over 27 appearances (two starts).

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bullpen Bivens appeared out of the bullpen in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Brewers, giving up two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out two in two innings.

Impact Bivens returned to a relief role after he had made his previous appearance as a starter Sunday, when he tossed 4.2 innings of one-run ball while striking out three in the Giants' 7-6 win over the Padres. The Giants still have a pair of openings in the rotation with Kyle Harrison (shoulder) recently joining Robbie Ray (hamstring) on the injured list, but rookies Mason Black and Landen Roupp will fill those spots rather than Bivens.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limits Padres to one run Bivens did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Padres, allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.1 innings.

Impact Bivens blanked the Padres through four innings before Jackson Merrill finally broke through with a leadoff home run in the fifth. Bivens threw 63 pitches with 42 going for strikes and the home run being the only extra-base hit allowed. It was the second-longest outing of the season for him after he went five innings in his only other start of the season back on June 30. Bivens could be given a look in the rotation down the stretch with Kyle Harrison (shoulder) potentially done for the year and Mason Black struggling during his time in the majors so far this year. For the year, Bivens owns a 2.77 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB in 39 innings. If he were to make another start, it would project to come against the Padres again over the weekend.

Opening Sunday's game Bivens will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Sudnay's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Sunday will mark Biven's second major-league start of his career. His first start was June 30 against the Dodgers, when he threw five innings and allowed one run on four hits while striking out three in a no decision. It's unlikely he will last as long in his upcoming start than he did in his last, and Tristan Beck and Landen Roupp are candidates to work multiple innings in relief behind Bivens. Across 19 major-league outings this season, Bivens has a 2.86 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 34.2 innings.

Opening Sunday's game Bivens will start Sunday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Sunday's start will be the second of Biven's major-league career. His first start was June 30 against the Dodgers, when he threw five innings and allowed one run on four hits while striking out three in a no-decision. He may not last as long in his upcoming start, and Tristan Beck and Landen Roupp are candidates to work multiple innings in relief behind Bivens. Across 19 major-league outings this season, Bivens has a 2.86 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 34.2 innings.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Collects win Saturday Bivens (3-1) allowed two hits and struck out two over three scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Mariners.

Impact Bivens was called on for a long-relief assignment after Blake Snell walked six batters and allowed two runs over the first three innings. This was a sharp performance for Bivens, though it was just his second scoreless outing out of five since he returned to the majors Aug. 15. For the year, he's posted a reliable 2.51 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB across 28.2 innings over 16 appearances (one start). He'll likely remain in a multi-inning role moving forward.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors The Giants recalled Bivens from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bivens was optioned to Double-A Richmond following his last MLB appearance Aug. 4, but he was later promoted to Triple-A for his most recent outing, during which he allowed two earned runs in one inning. He'll now rejoin San Francisco to give the Giants a multi-inning option out of the bullpen while Randy Rodriguez (elbow) is on the injured list.

AUGUST 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Double-A The Giants optioned Bivens to Double-A Richmond on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact He's making room on the roster for Hayden Birdsong, who will start Tuesday's contest versus the Nationals. Bivens has managed a 1.99 ERA and 18:6 K:BB over 22.2 innings with the Giants, although he has served up five home runs.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Bivens will join the Giants ahead of their twin bill Saturday against the Rockies. The 30-year-old holds a 2.65 ERA in 17 innings with the Giants this season and is capable of pitching multiple innings out of the bullpen. Mike Baumann was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Impact The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for left-hander Kyle Harrison, who is starting Saturday against the Guardians. Bivens appeared in seven games for the Giants since his contract was selected June 16, posting a 2.65 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 17 innings while working as a spot starter and bulk reliever out of the bullpen.
