Bednar remains on High-A Eugene's 7-day injured list, but he looks to be on the cusp of rejoining the Giants' Northwest League affiliate while he's been pitching well during his rehab assignment. He's worked exactly two innings in all four of his rehab outings, and the Giants will likely look to monitor Bednar's workload closely once he reports to Eugene while he's been set back by numerous injuries since being selected in the first round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft.

The Giants are expected to provide another update on the young right-hander's status in the coming days, but he looks as though he's still in the midst of an extended shutdown period that dates back to the Arizona Fall League. The 2021 first-round pick has yet to pitch above the Single-A level through his first three seasons in the professional ranks, with injuries playing a major part in his slow ascent through the San Francisco farm system.
