Well, that didn’t take long. Just a few days after signing him to a Minor League contract, and before he’d even suited up for AAA Sacramento, the San Francisco Giants selected the contract of outfielder/first baseman/designated hitter Darin Ruf, adding him to both the 40-man and active rosters.
To make room on the active roster for Ruf, right-handed pitcher Sean Hjelle was optioned to Sacramento. The team did not have to make a move on the 40-man roster, as there was already an open space after they designated Austin Wynns for assignment over the weekend.
