"Giants Part Ways with AJ Pollock"

The San Francisco Giants have officially released outfielder AJ Pollock, who has been on the injured list with a strained oblique. Pollock's brief stint with the Giants was disappointing, as he failed to record a hit or walk in five games. This year, he has struggled at the plate, slashing .165/.215/.305. The Giants still have other right-handed hitting outfielders on the roster and Pollock will likely have to settle for a minor league deal after clearing release waivers.
