SAN FRANCISCO -- Left-hander Derek Holland was added to the Giants' 40-man roster and will pitch in place of injured starter Jeff Samardzija in the team's rotation after being a non-roster invitee this spring.
Manager Bruce Bochy announced the move prior to Monday's exhibition game against the Athletics at AT&T Park.
"He pounded the strike zone and showed good stuff," Bochy said. "He's got the veteran presence you like on the mound. He had a great first half last year. He's had some rest and he looks fresh, ready to go.
