San Francisco Giants: Platoon strategy taking shape with outfield additions

When the 2019 season began, Connor Joe and Michael Reed were penciled into the starting corner outfield spots for the San Francisco Giants. That seems like so long ago.

As we approach midseason, the Giants are still trying to find more consistency from the outfield spots.

They also continue to scour the waiver wire for potential upgrades:

The Giants claimed outfielder Joey Rickard from the Orioles. Nick Vincent goes on 60-day DL to clear a roster spot. Rickard will join Triple-A Sacramento.
