Somewhat lost in the shuffle of cutting ties with Mac Williamson and the MLB debut of Mike Yastrzemski, the San Francisco Giants also added a new reliever to the active roster.
Left-hander Andrew Suarez was optioned back to the minors before Sunday’s game and right-hander Sam Coonrod was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento to take his place.
#sfgiants arms carousel du jour: Andrew Suarez optioned and RHP Sam Coonrod receives his first big league call-up. Coonrod was already on the 40-man.

Coonrod was already on the 40-man roster, so no corresponding move was needed to facilitate his promotion.
