SF Giants 2026 Player Review: Philip Abner may have been the worst reliever of them all

Around the Foghorn's Nick San Miguel reviews reliever Philip Abner's brief tenure with the San Francisco Giants, arguing he may have been the team's worst bullpen option in 2026. Claimed off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks, the 24-year-old left-hander posted a 9.64 ERA across five appearances for San Francisco during a disappointing 65-97 season.

San Miguel highlights a disastrous outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers where Abner surrendered four home runs in one inning. The writer also criticizes manager Tony Vitello for using Abner again the following night in a tied game before the pitcher was eventually designated for assignment and claimed by the New York Mets.
