LOS ANGELES – On the eve of the trade deadline, the Giants welcomed two new players to their clubhouse.
No, they didn’t make a trade. And it turns out they didn’t even activate the players.
Infielder Ryder Jones and catcher Tim Federowicz arrived from Triple-A Sacramento as insurance that the Giants didn’t end up using.
Catcher Nick Hundley passed a concussion test and got through batting practice with no issues two days after taking a foul tip to the mask. And first baseman Brandon Belt is ready to return after missing the previous two games because of a sore left wrist.
