PHOENIX — A day after one Orioles castoff homered and singled in a late Giants rally, San Francisco added another former Orioles outfielder to their depth chart.
The Giants announced Friday that they have claimed outfielder Joey Rickard on waivers and optioned the 28-year-old to Triple-A Sacramento. To clear space for Rickard on the team’s 40-man roster, the Giants transferred reliever Nick Vincent from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
Vincent has been sidelined since May 28 with a right pectoralis strain and has not thrown a bullpen session since he suffered the injury.
