Ahead of Friday’s series, the Giants announced several roster moves.
One of those moves was to option Cesar Perdomo.
The Giants wrote (via X): “The #SFGiants made the following roster moves today: • LHP César Perdomo optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. • RHP Camilo Doval (#57) reported.”
Looking At Perdomo
Perdomo is in the middle of his first season at the MLB level.
He has gone 0-1 with a 3.65 ERA in five games (four starts).
Just Baseball wrote (on September 6): “César Perdomo was LIGHTS OUT today: 6.0 IP | 3 H | 0 R | 1 BB | 4 K He has a 0.90 ERA across his first 10 MLB innings 💪”

Perdomo will be an intriguing pitcher for the Giants to have in their organization heading into next season.
Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area wrote: “The Giants optioned Cesar Perdomo and activated Camilo Doval. He likely won’t pitch today, it’s been a week since he has because he was DFA’d and Giants want to ease him back in.”
Looking At The Giants Right Now
The Giants came into the 2026 season with a high-profile roster.
That said, they have had a very disappointing year (and made a lot of trades).
Right now, the Giants are the fourth-place team in the National League West with a 65-94 record in 159 games.
Over their last ten games, the Giants have gone 3-7 (and they are 37-41 in 78 games at home).
The franchise last made the MLB playoffs during the 2021 season when Buster Posey was still playing.
