Giants Sign Will Brennan to One-Year Deal After Placing Rowan Wick on 60-Day IL

Cleared following elbow plus groin surgeries, the 28-year-old arrives as optionable depth expected to vie for a bench spot in San Francisco’s crowded outfield.

Overview

  • San Francisco announced a one-year major league contract for outfielder Will Brennan and opened a 40-man spot by moving right-hander Rowan Wick to the 60-day injured list.
  • Team officials and local reporting say Brennan is full-go for camp after left UCL surgery last summer and a subsequent sports hernia procedure in September.
  • Non-tendered by Cleveland in November, Brennan has played 269 MLB games with a .267/.307/.373 career slash line and profiles mostly in the corner outfield.
  • Brennan has minor-league options and will compete for a bench role behind an outfield that features Harrison Bader, Heliot Ramos and Jung Hoo Lee, with internal competition from Luis Matos, Drew Gilbert and others.
  • Wick, signed last week and recovering from Tommy John surgery, is not expected to pitch in 2026, making his 60-day IL placement a procedural move to accommodate the signing.
