Giants’ waiver wire frenzy continues, team claims sixth player in six-week span

LOS ANGELES — The San Francisco Giants didn’t add a single player on waivers during the 2018 season.

This week, they’ve brought three new players onto the 40-man roster through waiver claims as the front office continues to search for hidden gems.

The Giants announced Saturday they’ve claimed left-handed reliever Wandy Peralta on waivers from the Cincinnati Reds. Peralta, 28, posted a 6.09 ERA in 32 games for the Reds this season, but the Giants will try to help him regain form when he reports to the home clubhouse at Oracle Park on Monday.

Peralta joins right-handed pitcher Ricardo Pinto and infielder Corban Joseph as the team’s most recent waiver claims.
