PITTSBURGH — As expected, the Giants recalled outfielder Mac Williamson from Triple-A Sacramento and placed Matt Duffy on the 15- day disabled list with a left Achilles’ strain.
Williamson will give the Giants another right-handed bat in the lineup against left-handed starters, which they they will face Wednesday and Thursday. Williamson is 3-for-20 against lefties this season, no great shakes, but like left-handed counterpart Jarrett Parker he does have the ability to run into a pitch and hit it out, as he did against David Price on June 8 for his first big-league home run.
