Giants: Who is newly acquired pitcher Jake Jewell?

Another day, another waiver claim for the San Francisco Giants.

Team president Farhan Zaidi has been as active anyone in baseball on the waiver wire since taking the reins of the front office last offseason, and his latest claim came on Monday afternoon.

Here's the news from Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area:

Giants have claimed right-handed pitcher Jake Jewell off waivers from the Angels. To make room for Jewell on the 40-man roster, IF Zack Cozart has been designated for assignment.
