The Giants are swapping out almost 20% of their active roster. San Francisco placed\u00a0Willy Adames<\/a> (left elbow sprain),\u00a0JT Brubaker<\/a> (bruised ribs) and\u00a0Victor Bericoto<\/a> (bone bruise in right knee) on the injured list. Adames and Bericoto land on the 10-day IL, while Brubaker will miss a minimum of 15 days. San Francisco also placed\u00a0Bryce Eldridge<\/a> on the bereavement list and optioned rookie southpaw Matt \u201cTugboat\u201d Wilkinson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To fill those active roster spots, the Giants recalled five players from Triple-A Sacramento:\u00a0Nate Furman<\/a>,\u00a0Grant McCray<\/a>,\u00a0Anthony Molina<\/a>,\u00a0Ryan Walker<\/a> and\u00a0Shay Whitcomb<\/a>. Those players all have major league experience, though Whitcomb and Molina would be making their team debuts.<\/p>\n

Adames\u2019 injured list placement is the most notable of this series of transactions. Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area relays<\/a> that it\u2019s a moderate strain which is likely to extend beyond the minimum 10 days. Manager Tony Vitello told reporters (including Shayna Rubin of The San Francisco Chronicle<\/a>) that the Giants expect Adames back before the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Christian Koss<\/a> draws into the lineup tonight at shortstop. He\u2019s hitting .200\/.238\/.250 without a home run in 39 games this year. Koss has already been an everyday player at third base with\u00a0Matt Chapman<\/a> and\u00a0Casey Schmitt<\/a> both down for the season. Whitcomb, who was claimed off waivers from the Astros two weeks ago, gets the nod at the hot corner against Cincinnati ace\u00a0Chase Burns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McCray is back up in Bericoto\u2019s place. He gets the start in right field, as\u00a0Jung Hoo Lee<\/a> will get a partial breather working as the designated hitter. Eldridge will miss the Cincinnati series. Rubin reported<\/a> over the weekend that he\u2019ll be away to attend his grandfather\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n

Molina and Walker will step into the bullpen with Brubaker out and Wilkinson heading back to Triple-A. The latter made two abbreviated starts last week, allowing four runs in his first 5 2\/3 big league innings. Molina came over from Atlanta at the deadline for Tyler Mahle<\/a> and has worked nine innings of four-run ball with the River Cats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Giants are swapping out almost 20% of their active roster.
