Giants Call Up Matt Wilkinson | MLB News

The Giants are calling up pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson for his major league debut—just in time, as he’s not on the 40-man roster and they’re juggling injured players. Drafted by Cleveland in 2023, he was traded for Patrick Bailey and has dominated at Double-A and Triple-A with a 3.40 ERA, striking out batters and inducing ground balls. Scouts love his command, even without a standout pitch, and he’s ranked 14th by FanGraphs and 29th by Baseball America. With a fastball around 90 mph and a developing changeup, Wilkinson could slot into the back of the rotation—or the bullpen—if he steps up at the big leagues.
