SF Giants Make Roster Moves, Option Schmitt and Call Up Mathias

The San Francisco Giants have optioned infielder Casey Schmitt back to Triple-A after a slump in offensive performance, with no clear path to playing time due to the return of Brandon Crawford and Thairo Estrada. In his place, the Giants have called up utility man Mark Mathias, who is known for his solid defense and quality plate appearances. Mathias, a Giants fan from Fremont, will serve as the backup at second and shortstop. The Giants hope that either Schmitt or Marco Luciano can provide more upside off the bench in Triple-A and be ready for a call-up if needed.

"Giants Acquire AJ Pollock and Mark Mathias in Trade Deal"

The San Francisco Giants have acquired outfielder AJ Pollock and infielder Mark Mathias from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for a player to be named later. The trade aims to improve the Giants' struggling lineup, although the impact may be minimal. Pollock, who signed a 1-year deal with the Mariners earlier this year, has seen a decline in performance, while Mathias brings versatility and experience. The Giants did not give up significant assets for the trade and also received cash to help cover Pollock's remaining contract.
