SF Giants Midseason Recap: Heliot Ramos Breakout, Injuries, Help on Horizon

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

It's hard to believe, but the San Francisco Giants have passed the halfway point of the 2024 season. The Giants entered the year with high expectations, and there's no doubt they've fallen short of those expectations so far. The SF Giants have played inconsistent baseball, at times playing great and at times playing quite poorly.

The Giants have certainly had their bright spots. Heliot Ramos has been the best story of the season so far, as the former top prospect has finally blossomed into what looks like a solid everyday MLB player—perhaps more. Patrick Bailey has built off his strong rookie season with an even better 2024. LaMonte Wade Jr. was great before missing a month with a hamstring injury.

Injuries have played a key role in the SF Giants' overall disappointing first half performance. Mostly on the pitching side, but also on the position player side, the Giants have been ravaged by injuries. Right now they essentially have only Logan Webb and Jordan Hicks (who's performance has been another bright spot) as regular members of the starting rotation. The good news: the San Francisco Giants have multiple high-caliber arms returning soon, which could—and must—propel them to a better second half.
