San Francisco Giants' Mike Yastrzemski, who left Wednesday's game with tightness in his left hamstring, has avoided a serious injury and will likely not need to go on the injured list. Scans revealed only some inflammation and swelling, not enough to even earn a Grade 1 designation. The Giants are going to play it safe with Yastrzemski, and with him limited Thursday, they recalled speedy switch-hitting outfielder Bryce Johnson from Triple-A Sacramento. Right-hander Sean Hjelle, who tossed four scoreless innings in Wednesday’s win, was optioned out.
The San Francisco Giants have added outfielder/first baseman/designated hitter Darin Ruf to both the 40-man and active rosters, just a few days after signing him to a Minor League contract. To make room on the active roster for Ruf, right-handed pitcher Sean Hjelle was optioned to Sacramento. Ruf will slot straight into the lineup as the DH, hitting fifth against lefty ace Clayton Kershaw. The move helps the matchup-heavy Giants go more right-handed.
The San Francisco Giants have placed catcher Joey Bart on the 10-day injured list due to a mild back strain and recalled Sean Hjelle from Triple-A. Bart is expected to miss minimal time. With Bart sidelined, the Giants are down to two catchers on their active roster, and Rule 5 pick Blake Sabol is expected to see more time behind the plate. Hjelle, who is among San Francisco's top 10 prospects, is likely to be used in a multi-inning role in the bullpen.
