Giants' Will Bednar: Rehabbing at Single-A
Will Bednar (back) has struck out 11 while allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk across eight innings over four rehab outings with Single-A Fresno.Bednar remains on High-A Eugene's 7-day injured list, but he looks to be on the cusp of rejoining the San Francisco Giants' Northwest League affiliate while he's been pitching well during his rehab assignment. He's worked exactly two innings in all four of his rehab outings, and the Giants will likely look to monitor Bednar's workload closely once he reports to Eugene while he's been set back by numerous injuries since being selected in the first round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft.

Giants' Will Bednar: Not available to begin spring
Will Bednar (back) hasn't been taking part in workouts with the San Francisco Giants thus far in spring training and is "still working his way back," Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.The Giants are expected to provide another update on the young right-hander's status in the coming days, but he looks as though he's still in the midst of an extended shutdown period that dates back to the Arizona Fall League. The 2021 first-round pick has yet to pitch above the Single-A level through his first three seasons in the professional ranks, with injuries playing a major part in his slow ascent through the San Francisco farm system.

Giants' Will Bednar: Cleared for Arizona Fall League
Will Bednar (back) is scheduled to participate for the Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Since entering the professional ranks in 2021 as a first-round pick out of Mississippi State, Bednar has been limited to just 62.2 regular-season innings in the minors due to a slew of injuries. He made just four appearances in 2023 -- all in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League -- but hadn't pitched since late June while recovering from a stress reaction in his back. The 23-year-old right-hander will look to make up for the innings he lost during the regular season by making a handful of appearances in Arizona.
