"It has been over four years since Margevicius' last MLB game, as the southpaw made five appearances for the 2021 Mariners before his season was cut short by thoracic outlet syndrome. Margevicius spent the 2022-23 seasons in the minors pitching in the Seattle and Atlanta farm systems, then spent 2024 abroad pitching for the TSG Hawks of the Chinese Professional Baseball."
"This return to Triple-A ball went pretty well, as Margevicius posted a 3.89 ERA, 22% strikeout rate, and 5.7% walk rate over 74 innings (starting 14 of 17 games) with Triple-A Toledo. It was a big step up from the ugly numbers the left-hander posted in his last Triple-A stint in 2022-23, and to some extent a continuation of the strong work Margevicius delivered with the Hawks and in Mexico."
"Margevicius' work didn't earn him a look on Detroit's MLB roster, but the Giants were apparently intrigued enough to issue the the southpaw a non-roster invite. Margevicius could be a spot starter or perhaps just a pure Triple-A depth option, or the Giants could conceivably use him as more of a long reliever if his contract gets selected. San Francisco's fifth starter competiton features a host of younger arms without much big league experience."
Nick Margevicius signed a minor-league contract with the Giants and received a non-roster invitation to big-league Spring Training. He last appeared in MLB in 2021, making five appearances for the Mariners before a thoracic outlet syndrome diagnosis ended his season. He spent 2022–23 in the minors with Seattle and Atlanta affiliates, pitched in 2024 for the TSG Hawks in the Chinese Professional Baseball, and began 2025 in the Mexican League before a minors deal with Detroit. In Triple-A Toledo he posted a 3.89 ERA, 22% strikeout rate, 5.7% walk rate, increased his fastball to about 91.9 mph, and added a cutter. The Giants could use him as a spot starter, long reliever, or depth behind younger rotation candidates.
