Overview
- The Giants selected Victor Bericoto from Triple-A Sacramento and added him to the active roster for his first major‑league callup.
- The move follows Jung Hoo Lee being placed on the 10-day injured list with a mid-back strain after feeling a "pinch" during pregame work and leaving a game with back spasms.
- Bericoto is a 24-year-old right-handed hitter who has played all three outfield spots and first base and is slashing .299/.355/.449 in 186 Triple-A plate appearances this season.
- San Francisco already has an open 40-man roster spot for the selection and has not yet finalized the corresponding roster moves; left fielder Heliot Ramos remains on the injured list.
- The promotion supplies immediate outfield depth and a right-handed bat for the club while Lee heals and will require watching how the team allocates playing time once Bericoto debuts.
