The Giants say Blade Tidwell has been recommended to undergo surgery to repair his UCL sprain.
Blade Tidwell landed on the 15-day IL with a “high-grade sprain” of his UCL ligament. Braxton Roxby is up:

Tony Vitello said Blade Tidwell came out of the game with elbow discomfort.
Bo Davidson fell behind, 0-2, against Twins right-hander Zebby Matthews before battling back to cap a nine-pitch AB with his first big league hit, a 103.8 mph single to right field.
Giants' lineup vs. Twins: 0 Drew Gilbert (L) - CF 53 Jonah Cox - 2B 94 Bo Davidson (L) - RF 7 Marcelo Mayer (L) - DH 29 Brett Harris - 1B 61 Drew Cavanaugh (L) - C 39 Osleivis Basabe - 3B 91 Scott Bandura (L) - LF 50 Christian Koss - SS 46 Blade Tidwell - RHP
The Giants placed Bryce Eldridge on the seven-day concussion list and Jung Hoo Lee on the 10-day IL with a groin contusion. Marcelo Mayer and Bo Davidson were added to the roster as the corresponding moves. Philip Abner was also DFA’d.
Really tough news from Duane Kuiper, who announced that he has throat cancer:

Tony Vitello said Bryce Eldridge is in concussion protocol and won’t play tomorrow. LHP Matt Wilkinson will start the finale against the Dodgers.
The Giants placed Reiver Sanmartin on the 15-day IL with a right oblique strain. Sam Hentges is back from his left forearm strain.

Tony Vitello said the 6-foot-7 Bryce Eldridge banged his head on a low-hanging ceiling at the team hotel. He was mostly fine while going through his pregame routine today, but the Giants preferred to err on the side of caution. He could be back in the lineup tomorrow, per Vitello.
Bryce Eldridge was just scratched from the Giants' lineup with a head laceration. Brett Harris is playing first base in his stead.
Logan Webb was placed on the 15-day IL with a finger blister, bringing his season to an end:
