Pushed off 40-man roster The Giants designated Brennan for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Brennan will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to left-hander Reiver Sanmartin (hip), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. The 28-year-old Brennan had produced a healthy .869 OPS over 117 plate appearances at Triple-A Sacramento in 2026, but he's had far less success over parts of five major-league seasons between stops with the Guardians and Giants, slashing just .263/.301/.365 (86 wRC+).

Demoted to Triple-A The Giants optioned Brennan to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Impact Just one day after being called up to the big club, Brennan will wind up heading back to Sacramento. The Giants weren't eager to give him a regular run of at-bats in the outfield, and the left-handed-hitting Brennan wouldn't have offered much value in a bench role since he couldn't be platooned with either Drew Gilbert or Jung Hoo Lee. Brennan was swapped off the 26-man active roster in favor of Jonah Cox, who was called up from Double-A Richmond and should be more useful bench piece due to his right-handedness and ability to play all three outfield spots.

Back in big leagues The Giants recalled Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Impact After being sent to Triple-A on Friday, Brennan will turn right back around and rejoin the active roster as an injury replacement for Harrison Bader (foot). Brennan has gone just 2-for-23 at the plate in the majors this season and will likely work primarily as a depth piece until Bader returns.

Optioned to Triple-A The Giants optioned Brennan to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Impact Brennan has managed to go just 2-for-23 during his limited opportunities with the Giants. The club did not announce a corresponding roster move, but it's possible Jung Hoo Lee (back) returns for this weekend's series in Colorado.

Recalled from Sacramento The Giants recalled Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Impact With Heliot Ramos (quad) landing on the injured list Saturday, Brennan will come up from Triple-A to fill the void in San Francisco's outfield unit. The 28-year-old has gone 0-for-9 at the plate in the big leagues so far this year but is slashing .341/.374/.451 through 92 plate appearances at Sacramento.

Returning to Triple-A The Giants optioned Brennan to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Impact The Giants needed space on the roster after recalling both Jesus Rodriguez and Bryce Eldridge from Triple-A, resulting in Brennan going down to the minors and Jerar Encarnacion being designated for assignment in corresponding moves. Brennan appeared in just five games for the Giants since being recalled in mid-April and went 0-for-9 with two strikeouts across those outings. He'll get more reps in Triple-A, where he is slashing .400/.396/.560 with one home run and 10 RBI in 54 plate appearances.

Receives call-up to majors The Giants recalled Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

Impact With Jared Oliva (wrist) and Harrison Bader (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Brennan and Drew Gilbert will move up to the majors to burnish the Giants' outfield depth. Jung Hoo Lee will likely serve as Bader's primary replacement in center field, which potentially opens the door for Brennan to handle the strong side of a platoon in right field. Brennan had been one of Sacramento's top performers at the plate prior to his promotion, slashing .400/.396/.560 across 54 plate appearances on the season.

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

Impact Brennan's .325/.386/.500 slash line through 44 plate appearances in the Cactus League made a strong case for him to break camp with the big club, but he'll ultimately head back to the minors to begin the year. The 28-year-old outfielder has routinely batted above .300 at the Triple-A level and could earn a spot on the Giants' bench if he continues to swing a hot bat.

Shohei Ohtani Pitches Over 4 Innings in Spring Training Game Against Giants

Logs RBI in spring loss Brennan started at center field and went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 Cactus League loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact After reaching base on a fielder's choice in the second inning and coming around to score, Brennan added an RBI single in the third but was caught trying to steal second. Through 15 Cactus League outings, he's recorded eight runs scored, six RBI and four home runs while slashing .379/.455/.483 across 33 plate appearances. Following an injury-riddled 2025 campaign in which he underwent Tommy John surgery in June and sports hernia surgery in September, the 28-year-old outfielder signed a major-league deal with San Francisco in mid-February. The left-handed hitter is expected to operate as the Giants' fourth outfielder this season.
