The Giants announced that they have claimed right-hander Camilo Doval<\/a> off waivers from the Pirates. Doval had been designated for assignment by Pittsburgh earlier this week. The Giants transferred righty Blade Tidwell<\/a> to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot for the move. Tidwell was recommended for UCL surgery this week<\/a>, so he is certainly done for this year and likely all of next year as well.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fascinating reunion. Doval was the Giants\u2019 closer not too long ago but some struggles, mostly with control, pushed him to the trade block. He was flipped<\/a> to the Yankees at last year\u2019s deadline, with the Giants netting prospect Jes\u00fas Rodr\u00edguez<\/a>, Trystan Vrieling<\/a>, Parks Harber<\/a>, and Carlos De La Rosa<\/a> in the swap. Doval struggled through a year in the Bronx before getting traded again, this time to the Pirates. Pittsburgh fell out of contention and put Doval on waivers this week to try to save a small amount of money.<\/p>\n

The Giants helped the Pirates out by making this claim. For San Francisco, it has nothing to do with 2026. They are playing out the string on a lost season, currently sporting a 65-94 record. Even if Doval makes an appearance or two before the season is done, they will be meaningless games. Presumably, the Giants grabbed Doval because they either plan to tender him a contract for 2027 or try to trade him in the offseason.<\/p>\n

Doval is making $6.1MM this season and can be retained for next season via arbitration. He won\u2019t be able to get a huge raise based on this year\u2019s 4.30 earned run average, but should be able to get into the $7-8MM range.<\/p>\n

It would make sense for the Giants to take a flier on Doval, even with his recent struggles. The San Francisco bullpen was not good this year. The relievers currently have a collective 4.18 ERA on the season. Most of the arms currently in the bullpen are inexperienced. Sam Hentges<\/a> and Jason Foley<\/a> are the only guys back there with at least three years of service time, and those two are coming back from notable injury absences.<\/p>\n

President of baseball operations Buster Posey has admitted<\/a> that the club will be looking to make more concrete upgrades to the bullpen for next year. That could involve free agent signings and\/or trades but they are adding one arm ahead of schedule by grabbing Doval from the wire.<\/p>\n

More to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Giants announced that they have claimed right-hander Camilo Doval off waivers from the Pirates.
