The San Francisco Giants made a flurry of moves on Friday at the Nov. 19 deadline to set the 40-man roster prior to the Rule 5 Draft. The Giants opted to protect three players: outfielder Heliot Ramos, right-handed starting pitcher Sean Hjelle, and right-handed reliever Randy Rodriguez.
To make room on the 40-man roster for the three prospects, the team designated for assignment right-handed reliever Jay Jackson, and returned 2020 Rule 5 draftee Dedniel Nuñez, a right-handed reliever, to the New York Mets.
ROSTER MOVES: RHP Sean Hjelle, RHP Randy Rodriguez and OF Heliot Ramos selected to the 40-man roster.
