In 2026, he posted a 4-4 record and a 3.78 ERA with 60 strikeouts in 64 1/3 frames at the Triple-A level. Roxby logged a 3.38 ERA with three punchouts in 5 1/3 innings with the Giants at the Major League Baseball level. He made his big-league debut Aug. 28 against Arizona , fanning one and retiring all three batters he faced. Roxby allowed two runs in one inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park Sept. 1, when many of his friends and family made the trip to see him pitch live.
