Giants call up Nick Avila, activate Mike Yastrzemski

The churn continues yet again, with the San Francisco Giants making a handful of moves before their Monday rivalry against the Los Angeles Dodgers gets underway. The Giants announced a series of moves before Monday’s series opener, some expected and some surprising.

As we all knew would happen, the Giants activated outfielder Mike Yastrzemski from the Paternity List. Yaz and his wife Paige welcomed their second child on Friday, and with MLB’s Paternity List only covering three days, he had to return for this game. As expected, outfielder Luis Matos was optioned to AAA Sacramento.
