The SF Giants welcomed back infielder Tommy La Stella on Wednesday after a three-month absence. However, Anthony DeSclafani was placed on the injured list with shoulder fatigue and Conner Menez was placed on waivers.

Since La Stella was on the 60-day injured list, the Giants needed to clear a 40-man roster spot by waiving Menez and open up a spot on the 26-man roster by placing DeSclafani on the injured list.
