Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Daniel Susac, a 24-year-old rookie catcher for the San Francisco Giants, was cleared from a right elbow neuritis injury and completed a successful rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento. During his rehab stint, he posted impressive offensive numbers (.529 average, 9-for-17, 2 home runs, 5 RBI across 5 games). He was activated from the 10-day IL on May 15, 2026, and is expected to assume a primary role behind the plate following Patrick Bailey's trade to Cleveland. The Giants' front office, led by Buster Posey, expressed confidence in Susac's offensive potential and defensive development.
