The San Francisco Giants once again made a series of moves, adding two players to the roster on Wednesday, ahead of their series finale against the Houston Astros.
Veteran right-handed pitcher Trevor Cahill was activated, and will start Wednesday’s game. Cahill was signed in the offseason to a Minor League contract, and missed the start of the season due to a fingernail issue.
While the Cahill addition was expected, the activation of fellow right-handed pitcher Dereck Rodríguez was a bit of a surprise.
To make room for those two, right-handed reliever Rico Garcia and left-handed reliever Conner Menez were optioned to the Alternate Training Site in Sacramento.
