Grant Green’s debut with Giants a surprise
Three years removed from making his major-league debut with the A’s, Grant Green made his Giants debut Thursday night at the Coliseum.
The second baseman was called up after infielder Ramiro Peña sprained his left ankle colliding with Mac Williamson in the third inning of Wednesday’s 7-1 loss to the A’s. Peña had been subbing for second baseman Joe Panik, who is on San Francisco’s seven-day concussion disabled list.
“It kind of did surprise me a little bit,” Green said of getting called up. “When you’re not on the 40-man, you never really think it’s going to be you.”
