The SF Giants designated right-handed pitcher Jordan Humphreys for assignment to clear a space on the 40-man roster. He was claimed by the San Diego Padres and is now headed to their NL West rival. The move gives the Giants room to add recently signed LHP Jose Alvarez to the 40-man roster.
Humphreys may not be the most recognizable name to Giants fans, but he was acquired from the New York Mets for speedy outfielder Billy Hamilton last year.
