Giants place Eldridge on concussion list after hotel accident
Rookie first baseman sidelined after bumping his head at team hotel in Los Angeles.
What to know
- Eldridge, 21, sustained a head laceration after bumping his head at the team hotel in Los Angeles on September 18 and was scratched from that day's lineup against the Dodgers.
- The Giants placed him on the seven-day concussion list on September 22, retroactive to September 18, after he missed two consecutive games.
- His strong rookie season—.269 average with 17 home runs and 57 RBIs—effectively ends with the concussion list placement, though he could theoretically play in the final three games if cleared.
“Told him we'd put him in there if we had to make an adjustment. Kind of period in the year we're being overly cautious.”

Eldridge absent from lineup for second straight game
Eldridge was scratched from Saturday's lineup as well. Manager Tony Vitello said Eldridge was "still feeling it a little bit" and cited the matchup against Tarik Skubal, the reigning back-to-back Cy Young Award winner, as reason not to risk playing him.
“You always run into that risk-reward thing, and with guys that are banged up, there's a few of them that if it was a playoff game tomorrow, they'd probably be going. But a few others not.”
