Colorado Rockies roster move: Rico Garcia claimed by the San Francisco Giants

According to William Boor of MLB.com, the San Francisco Giants have claimed right-handed pitcher Rico Garcia off of waivers from the Colorado Rockies.

That waiver claim makes Garcia the fourth Rockie in the past week to be claimed off of waivers. He is also the second Rockies pitcher to be claimed on waivers by the Giants, as they claimed left-handed starting pitcher Tyler Anderson off of waivers last Wednesday, October 30.

The other players that were claimed off waivers last week besides Anderson were left-handed reliever Sam Howard (claimed by the Pittsburgh Pirates) and Pat Valaika (claimed by the Baltimore Orioles).
