The San Francisco Giants made four more camp cuts on Monday as they work to trim their roster to 28 players before their season opener on April 8 against the Miami Marlins.
The latest round of cuts features some pretty notable prospect names. Outfielder Heliot Ramos and right-handed starting pitcher Sean Hjelle were both optioned, while catchers Patrick Bailey and Ricardo Genovés were re-assigned to Minor League Camp.
These moves were certainly inevitable, so it was just a matter of when the Giants officially made them. The team has yet to make any camp cuts with people who were in play for the Opening Day roster, but it seems likely that we’ll see Ramos and Hjelle make their Major League debuts sometime this season.
