SAN FRANCISCO — The long wait is over for Tyler Rogers.
The short ride for second baseman Scooter Gennett has also come to an end.
The Giants announced Tuesday that Rogers will join their bullpen and take the place of right-hander Trevor Gott, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow strain.
The club also announced that Gennett, who was acquired at the July 31 trade deadline from the Cincinnati Reds, was placed on unconditional release waivers.
In a flurry of roster moves, infield prospect Mauricio Dubon will join the major league roster and likely take over for Gennett as the starting second baseman while infielder Abiatal Avelino has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
