The Giants made just a few roster strikes at this time, relayed on X by Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle. They’ve recalled right-hander Hayden Birdsong and chosen the contract of catcher Jakson Reetz. In corresponding strikes, catcher Curt Casali has been positioned on the paternity listing whereas right-hander Spencer Bivens has been optioned to Double-A Richmond. The membership already had a few 40-man vacancies after the flurry of deadline transactions and their depend now climbs to 39.
Reetz, 28, will probably be in his second stint with the Giants this season. San Francisco chosen him to the 40-man roster again in Might. He went simply 1-for-12 in a quick five-game stint, although his lone hit in that run was a giant fly. The Giants designated Reetz for project and handed him by means of waivers later within the month when opening a roster spot for veteran lefty Drew Pomeranz.
Between his temporary look with the Giants and a good shorter look with the 2022 Nats (two plate appearances), Reetz has simply 14 journeys to the plate below his belt within the majors. He’s hitting .250/.362/.428 with Triple-A Sacramento this season and carries a profession .240/.336/.467 line in elements of 4 seasons on the prime minor league degree. With Casali solely headed to the paternity listing — a three-day most — it may very well be a quick keep within the majors for Reetz. Nonetheless, he’s within the second of three minor league possibility years, so he may merely be optioned reasonably than designated for project at any time when Casali returns. That’d a minimum of maintain him on the 40-man roster.
Extra to come back.
