Overview
- The Giants announced Monday that Harrison Bader returned from the 10-day injured list and Tristan Beck was called up from Triple-A Sacramento.
- Beck’s recall provides a fresh arm after Saturday’s blowout and Sunday’s 12-inning game forced the club to use five relievers one night and six the next.
- Beck has a 5.40 ERA in 13 Triple-A games this year and is expected to work long relief after logging 31 major-league outings last season.
- Bader had been out since mid-April with a left hamstring strain, then hit .222 with two home runs in six rehab games, and he was set to start in center and bat eighth against the Dodgers on Monday.
- Catcher Logan Porter and right-hander Dylan Smith were optioned to Sacramento, leaving two catchers on the roster until Daniel Susac returns from the injured list.
