Well over a month into the season, the San Francisco Giants have made their first voluntary roster move. Shortly after Sunday’s win over the Colorado Rockies, the Giants announced that veteran reliever Lou Trivino had been designated for assignment. Taking his place is left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison, the former top prospect in the organization, who was called up from AAA Sacramento.
Waiving Trivino is not particularly surprising. His return to the Majors (he hadn’t pitched since 2022), and for the manager he had spent most of his career pitching for, was one of the best stories of Spring Training.
