Today, the San Francisco Giants claimed catcher Sam Huff off waivers from the Texas Rangers and designated pitcher Austin Warren for assignment.
Warren made 6 appearances for the Giants in 2024 following rehab for elbow surgery. In 10.2 innings he had a 1.69 ERA but a 4.48 FIP, struck out 7 and walked 5. The 28-year old righty still has an option left, so he should find a home somewhere this offseason.
As speculated here on the site in the comments, last night’s report that the team had acquired Justin Verlander probably made Warren an odd man out.
