Giants Select Victor Bericoto
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Jung Hoo Lee has been placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to May 19 due to a mid-back strain, with Will Brennan likely to receive most of the playing time in right field during Lee's absence.
- The San Francisco Giants are promoting outfielder Victor Bericoto from Triple-A Sacramento, marking his first call-up to the majors.
- Bericoto, 24, is not considered a top prospect but has performed well this season, batting .299 with six home runs and showing improved strikeout rates.
- The Giants had an open 40-man roster spot to accommodate Bericoto, and Lee's ongoing back issues may have necessitated roster adjustments.
