The San Francisco Giants added a little bit of pitching depth before starting their final series of the year, a three-game weekend set against the San Diego Padres. The team announced on Friday that left-handed pitcher Scott Kazmir had been placed on the 10-day Injured List, and fellow left-handed pitcher Sammy Long had been recalled from AAA.
ROSTER MOVES: LHP Scott Kazmir placed on the 10-day Injured List with a right hamstring strain.
LHP Sammy Long recalled from Triple-A Sacramento.— SFGiants (@SFGiants) October 1, 2021It’s a smart depth move for the Giants, as Kazmir started Thursday’s game, and was thus unlikely to pitch again this regular season.
