LOS ANGELES — The first day of September brought some familiar names back to the big leagues.
The Giants added six players on Tuesday when rosters expanded for the remainder of the season. Tim Hudson and Angel Pagan are coming off the disabled list and Hector Sanchez and Cody Hall were recalled from Triple-A Sacramento. Nick Noonan had his contract purchased from Triple-A and Alejandro De Aza was added to the roster after a trade Monday night that brought him over from Boston.
To clear a 40-man roster spot for Noonan, the Giants designated outfielder Justin Maxwell for assignment.
