It has been a surprising day of transactions for the San Francisco Giants. Buster Posey exercised Bob Melvin’s 2026 option. Wilmer Flores will be playing third base tonight, and that’s because Christian Koss had to go on the injured list with a hamstring strain. Taking his place? Not another infielder — it’s outfielder Luis Matos!
I was behind the curve in learning that Koss had been hurt last night, but now that I know I can only assume it has something to do with that fan interference that robbed him of a home run. Somebody needs to ask Torey Lovullo how this fan, who has made the same play multiple times now, wound up on his coaching staff.
