The San Francisco Giants have made roster changes, selecting pitcher Wilkin Ramos and infielder Buddy Kennedy from their Triple-A affiliate, Sacramento. These additions come after a series loss to the Rockies.
Ramos, who previously struggled in spring training, earned his promotion with an impressive 2.00 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 27 relief appearances for Sacramento. He discovered his call-up when his bags were the only ones sent back to Sacramento from Reno. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to fulfill his lifelong dream.
Kennedy was brought up to provide backup infield support, particularly with Christian Koss on the Triple-A injured list. Kennedy has performed well in Sacramento, boasting a .321 batting average with nine home runs and a .967 OPS in 48 games. He brings versatility, having played for multiple MLB teams.
These roster moves also involved optioning catcher Jesus Rodriguez and placing pitcher Joel Peguero on the 60-day injured list due to a hamstring strain. Catcher Logan Porter was designated for assignment.
