It wasn’t as good of a day for their Minor League Baseball affiliates, though, who we have grown accustomed to winning, winning, and winning some more this year.

They did a little bit of that on Thursday, but there were more losses than usual as well. Still a fun day, so let’s dive on in. Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in the roundup are the position played in that particular game.

News A few big pieces of news. Most notably, RHP Reid Worley (No. 36 CPL) appeared to announce on his social media that he recently underwent Tommy John surgery.

Shoutout to Twitter user @porkblds for catching this. Worley was the Giants 9th-round pick in July, and signed well overslot, for a signing bonus commensurate with a late 3rd-round pick, as they bought the high schooler out of his commitment to Kennesaw State. He has some outrageous spin metrics, but for now, the focus is simply on getting back on the mound.
