There was supposed to be a place for Steven Duggar in the San Francisco Giants’ plans in 2017. One of the team’s top prospects, the 2015 sixth-round draft pick tore it up during a second half stint with the Double-A Richmond Flying Squirrels in 2016. The plan was for Duggar to get his first taste of Triple-A ball to start this season, with eyes on making his major league debut at some point. That plan, much like this entire season for the Giants, didn’t work out that way.
A forearm injury put him on the shelf to begin the season, and hamstring problems kept him off the field for longer.
