Eldridge climbed from Single-A San Jose to Triple-A Sacramento last season, but Melvin said the Giants still haven’t decided where he’ll start the 2025 campaign. Eldridge has appeared in only 17 games above High-A Eugene, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him go back to Double-A Richmond and then try to force his way up from there. The Giants currently have LaMonte Wade Jr. and Wilmer Flores projected to split time at first base, so they can afford to be patient with their top prospect.
