Rest-of-Season Projections
Sent to minor-league camp
The Giants reassigned Waites to minor-league camp Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Waites is healthy again after missing the entire 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he'll need to prove himself at the Triple-A level before potentially getting another look in San Francisco's bullpen. The 26-year-old righty previously made 10 appearances out of the big-league bullpen between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, logging a 6.75 ERA and 2.25 WHIP over eight innings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bullpen piece in 2025?
Waites, who missed all of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, could be a bullpen contributor for the Giants in 2025, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander has completed his rehab from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in September of 2023, so he should enter spring training in a strong position. Waites showcased his strikeout potential throughout his minor-league career with a 14.9 K/9, but he also has a career 5.9 BB/9. The 26-year-old could be a factor in San Francisco's bullpen mix if he's able to limit the free passes.
