Giants' Jung Hoo Lee, Bryce Eldridge land on IL; Marcelo Mayer activated
The San Francisco Giants put Jung Hoo Lee and Bryce Eldridge on the injured list Monday, opening roster spots for Marcelo Mayer and Bo Davidson. Both newcomers were in the lineup against the Twins.
Outfielder Jung Hoo Lee, who was the last member of the San Francisco Giants' Opening Day lineup, was placed on the injured list on Monday due to a groin contusion, according to the San Francisco Chronicle (Santiago Mejia). Rookie first baseman Bryce Eldridge also went on the seven-day concussion Injured List (IL) on the same day.
This move will enable the Giants to shatter the franchise record for players utilized in a single season, reaching a total of 70. Bo Davidson, ranked as the Giants' No. 5 prospect by Baseball America and No. 8 by MLB Pipeline, entered the lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota, making his major league debut. He appeared in the outfield, batting third.
Marcelo Mayer, who was acquired from Boston at the August 3 deadline in exchange for reliever Erik Miller, returned from the injured list after recovering from a forearm stress reaction and a foot injury. Mayer, a 23-year-old top prospect, made his Giants debut as a designated hitter (DH) batting cleanup. Manager Tony Vitello was impressed by Davidson's performance in spring training, stating that he hit .290 with 29 home runs combined at two levels and was named to the Eastern League All-Star team.
