The San Francisco Giants are getting some reinforcements ahead of their series finale against the Cleveland Guardians, in which they’ll try to avoid going a (fairly disappointing) 4-2 on the home stand, and instead go a (very nice) 5-1.
That reinforcement is coming in the form of one of baseball’s top rookies, as catcher Patrick Bailey has been activated from the Injured List. The corresponding move is the obvious one, as fellow catcher Joey Bart has been optioned to AAA Sacramento.
