Giants call up shortstop prospect Mauricio Dubon, reports say

The Giants are calling up a highly touted prospect as they try to stay in the hunt for the NL’s second wild card spot.

Shortstop Mauricio Dubon, acquired at the trade deadline in exchange for pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Ray Black, is set to join the Giants according to Brewers reporter Robert Murray.

The Giants are 4-1/2 games behind the Cubs with four other teams between them and the NL’s final postseason slot.

Dubon, 25, was viewed as the most MLB-ready of the five prospects San Francisco acquired at the trade deadline to debut this season, and that belief bore out even as Jaylin Davis continues to mash home runs in Sacramento.
