Giants agree to terms with OL James Hudson
The Giants agreed to terms on a two-year deal with offensive tackle James Hudson III, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports.
He is expected to compete for the swing tackle job.
Hudson played only four games with three starts last season before undergoing surgery on his right shoulder. He started the first two games of the season at left tackle in place of Jedrick Wills Jr. and was playing right tackle in place of Dawand Jones against the Giants when he initially injured his shoulder.
He started a Week 4 game against the Raiders at left tackle but did not play again.
Hudson, a fourth-round pick of the Browns in 2021, has appeared in 49 games with 17 starts in his career.

New York Giants' receivers ranked in bottom third of NFL
The New York Giants did little to change their wide receiver room this offseason, largely returning the same unit from a year ago. General manager Joe Schoen re-signed Darius Slayton and Ihmir Smith-Marsette, while adding Lil'Jordan Humphrey and several undrafted free agents. That was the extent of the work done. Also returning will be Wan'Dale Robinson, Bryce Ford-Wheaton, and Jalin Hyatt, who appears bulked up and recommitted to the game of football. Similarly, the tight end and running back rooms will look similar, save for the additions of Thomas Fidone and Cam Skattebo, who were taken in the 2025 NFL draft. All told, Pro Football Focus remains unimpressed, ranking the Giants' receivers in the bottom third of the NFL at No. 24 overall. The Giants' passing attack isn't just Malik Nabers, but he represents the biggest piece of the pie. Nabers earned an 87.1 PFF receiving grade as a rookie despite a terrible quarterback situation. He was the only Giants receiver to earn a single-season receiving grade higher than 65.0 in 2024. Tyrone Tracy Jr., Theo Johnson, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt make up the same group from 2024, which posted a 29th-ranked 67.1 PFF receiving grade. The lack of receiver production largely stems from inconsistent quarterback play. That's one area Schoen and the Giants did address, and consequently so, signing veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston before selecting Jaxson Dart in the first round of April's draft. Better quarterback play will yield more productive receiver play, even if the roster remains largely unchanged at those positions.

Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle addresses abuse allegations made against him
Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle addresses abuse allegations made against him originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area SAN FRANCISCO — Giants reliever Sean Hjelle addressed accusations of abuse made by his wife on social media, saying he's still in the process of trying to figure the situation out. Hjelle didn't get into specifics and said he plans to release an official statement on the matter in the coming weeks. 'I feel confident in saying that I will have one eventually,' Hjelle said following San Francisco's 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox at Oracle Park. 'I don't have an exact timeline on that but I would like to actually get with the people that are handling the situation with me and for me before I make an actual statement.' Caroline Hjelle's post on TikTok on Friday included a caption that read: 'When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after this (video was taken) once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone.' According to Hjelle, the couple have not been together for awhile and have been in the process of divorcing for about a year. Clerical and legal procedures have held matters up. 'We reached an agreement in mediation this offseason,' Hjelle said. 'In the state of Virginia we had to wait a full year of separation, which was filed last May. So the official divorce decree has been delayed because of me starting in Sacramento, and per the terms of the agreement there were some nuances and what not. 'So that part has actually been delayed. But for all intents and purposes the divorce is a signature away from being officially finalized.' The Giants released a statement earlier Saturday acknowledging that Major League Baseball has begun investigating the incident. Hjelle hadn't spoken publicly about it until Saturday and wants to wait until he gathers more information before making any further comments. 'I would like to talk with my agent, my lawyer,' Hjelle said. 'This has been something that's been going on for over a year now in terms of our relationship and our divorce and our separation and everything. But I don't have any official comment right now. 'I just want to talk to the appropriate people, figure out what the steps are (and) just kind of take it in stride.' Download and follow the Giants Talk Podcast

Red Sox reactions: Rally falls short as costly error, weak offense prove too much to overcome
SAN FRANCISCO — Rapid reactions from the Red Sox' 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. 1) The Red Sox avoided being shutout for the second time in their last four games when they rallied in the ninth, stringing together three consecutive hits against Giants closer Camilo Doval, then capitalizing on a stolen base and a throwing error by catcher Andrew Knizner. The ninth also marked the first time all day that the Sox had gotten a baserunner past second base and they had the potential tying run on first base in the the final inning. But the rally wasn't enough to overcome a three-run deficit. Advertisement 2) You just knew that Rafael Devers would, at some point in this series, hit his first homer as a Giant. It seemed predestined. I knew it, you knew, the American people knew it. Sure enough, with a runner on in the third inning, it happened as Devers connected on a 1-0 four-seamer on the outer half of the plate and drove it out to left. Devers doesn't have The Wall for which to aim here, but he does have a rather inviting area with the left field seats at Oracle Park. That it came off Brayan Bello, a fellow Dominican and, of course, former teammate, also seemed somehow fitting. 3) Brayan Bello couldn't quite match his outing from last Sunday, when he turned in what was arguably the best start of big league career — seven shutout innings against the Yankees, with eight strikeouts. Still, he deserved a better fate Saturday. He made two mistakes, one each to each of the Giants' biggest home run threats. Heliot Ramos gpt him with a solo shot in the first; Devers connected off him in the third. Of the three runs he surrendered, only one was earned. But because the Sox could do little offensively, he was stuck with a tough-luck loss, even as he gave the Sox at least six innings for the fourth straight outing. 4) San Francisco starter Landen Roupp was hardly a flame-thrower, but his mix of a cutter, curve and changeup managed to keep the Red Sox off balance all afternoon. Through the first five innings, the Red Sox managed just two hits and both were singles. 5) David Hamilton is prized for his defense. It's what's kept him in the big leagues for the last few seasons. But on Saturday, for the second game in a row in this series, he made a highly costly error. On Friday night, he mishandled a grounder in the first inning, leading to the Giants' first run. On Saturday, it happened again as he flubbed a chance on a ball hit by San Francisco catcher Andrew Knizner. That proved especially problematic two batters later when Devers went deep with a two-run homer, scoring Knizner ahead of him. Advertisement 6) There are going to be days like Saturday for this Red Sox lineup, when they lack the quick-strike capability of a long ball or the ability to stretch together a string of hits to build a rally. It puts more pressure on the pitching staff and makes it essential that the Sox catch the ball and not give away outs to the opponent. On Saturday, the pitching part was fine, but the offense and defense were both faulty. 7) Roman Anthony has just four hits through the first 11 games of his major league career. That's not terribly surprising, as we've seen all manner of top prospects struggle when they first get to the big leagues. But if you're looking for positive signs, Anthony has been patient at the plate, working a walk Friday night and then adding two more on Saturday while chipping in with a leadoff double in the ninth. He may not be racking up the hits, but he's not getting himself out much, either, by chasing pitches out of the zone. 8) In the series finale between the two teams, the Red Sox will send RHP Lucas Giolito (3-1, 3.74) to the mound, matched against LHP Robbie Ray (8-2, 2.68), traditionally, the owner of the game's tightest uniform pants. Following the game, the Red Sox will head to Anaheim, where they begin a three-game set against the Angels Monday night. More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.
