Yesterday, the Giants optioned Conner Menez to Triple-A and today we learned that it would be Aramis Garcia to get the call and replace him on the roster. Garcia will be the starting first baseman tonight against the A’s Brett Anderson.
In the meantime, just last week Brady wrote up the Giants’ claim of A’s reliever Ryan Dull. Along with Menez’s option yesterday, the Giants DFA’d Dull and claimed Brewers reliever Burch Smith. Smith has a 5.54 ERA in 127 major league innings. This year with Milwaukee, it was 7.
