Giants call up prospect Christian Arroyo

The San Francisco Giants purchased the contracts of Christian Arroyo and Drew Stubbs from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Arroyo, ranked as the Giant's No. 2 prospect on MLB.com's MLB Pipeline prior to his call-up, will be batting sixth and playing third base in the first game of the Giants' four-game home series vs. the Dodgers on Monday. Stubbs, a journeyman outfielder, returns to the big leagues with his seventh team.

The Giants tweeted a congratulatory photo of Arroyo as he signed paperwork today.

Welcome to the big leagues, Christian Arroyo!
