• Giants' Hunter Bishop: Free of restrictions at camp

  02/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bishop (elbow) reported to spring training this week without any restrictions, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. The 2019 first-round pick is back to full health after missing the entire 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Once seen as one of the top hitting prospects in the organization, Bishop's star has faded while a slew of injuries have thus far limited him to 134 minor-league games through his first five seasons in the professional ranks. The 25-year-old outfielder still has yet to play above the High-A level, though he could report to Double-A Richmond to open the 2024 campaign if he makes it out of spring training with his health intact.

• Giants' Hunter Bishop: Needs season-ending elbow surgery

  04/04/2023 • By RotoWire

  Bishop said he underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday to repair the UCL in his right elbow, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Bishop has appeared in only 134 total minor-league games since the Giants selected him with the 10th overall pick in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft. After succumbing to another injury, Bishop is stuck with yet another lost campaign. The 24-year-old outfielder -- who turns 25 this June -- hasn't managed to rise above High-A ball due in no small part to the physical setbacks.

  04/04/2023 • By RotoWire

  Bishop is expected to have elbow surgery within the next week, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports. Bishop has played just 103 games over the last two seasons, so this is a disappointing setback for the outfielder. It's unclear if his recovery timeline will allow him to come back some time in the second half of the campaign, but he's expected to miss multiple months.

  08/16/2022 • By RotoWire

  Bishop, who has been on High-A Eugene's 7-day injured list since July 18 due to an unspecified issue, went 0-for-2 while starting in center field Monday in the first game of his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. Before landing on the shelf, Bishop had racked up 19 stolen bases in 21 attempts for Eugene, but he struggled at the plate, managing a .236/.323/.433 slash line across 324 plate appearances. He'll likely play at least a couple more games in the ACL before rejoining Eugene.
