Well, we did it, everybody. We got Austin Slater called up finally, and all it took was losing Alen Hanson to the DL. Fair trade? Absolutely not.
Giants moves: Austin Slater called up to replace Alen Hanson, who’s on DL with strained hamstring.

In true 2018 fashion, Bruce Bochy publicly stated that the injury would cause the player to be out for only a day or two but it wound up transforming into an actual trip to the disabled list. In all previous instances of this sequence, that DL stint has stretched out beyond the expected return timetable, so, if you see anything about Hanson not needing to stay on the DL beyond the 10 days, figure he’ll be out 20 days.
