"Kopech began the year on the 15-day injured list because of a right shoulder impingement that was believed to be related to lingering effects from forearm inflammation that surfaced during the 2024 postseason. Kopech wasn't activated until June 7 and landed back on the injured list July 1 due to right knee inflammation. That was followed by undergoing surgery to repair the meniscus in his right knee."
"According to a source, the Giants have been in touch with Michael Kopech, who had multiple injuries with the Dodgers the past two years but who had good results when healthy; the former White Sox starter did have 15 saves in 2024. The Giants have been searching for bullpen reinforcements with Randy Rodríguez expected to miss the entire the 2026 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and Kopech would represent an interesting buy-low candidate."
Michael Kopech was limited to 14 games in 2025 due to separate right shoulder and knee injuries. He began the year on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement believed related to forearm inflammation from the 2024 postseason, was activated June 7, then returned to the injured list July 1 with right knee inflammation and later underwent meniscus repair surgery. He returned in September for expanded rosters and made six appearances before being shut down for the season. Kopech's market has developed slowly, with the San Francisco Giants reportedly showing interest as a buy-low bullpen candidate after Randy Rodríguez's Tommy John surgery.
