Overview
- The Giants reinstated Daniel Susac from the 10-day injured list and started him at catcher against the A’s, slotted eighth in the order.
- Infielder Christian Koss was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento to open a roster spot for Susac.
- Susac arrived via a Rule 5 draft pick trade and forced his way onto the Opening Day roster after a hot start that included 11 hits in 23 at-bats before a right elbow nerve issue.
- During Susac’s IL stint, San Francisco traded two-time Gold Glove catcher Patrick Bailey to Cleveland, where he is 0-for-5 through two games.
- With Susac back, the club is carrying three catchers in Susac, Jesus Rodriguez and Eric Haase, a setup that reshapes the depth chart behind the plate.
