After dealing 6 players off their MLB<\/a> roster, the Giants added 5 players to join the big league club ahead of Monday\u2019s game. San Francisco announced<\/a> that Tristan Beck<\/a>, Reiver Sanmartin, Carson Seymour and Blade Tidwell were promoted from Triple-A Sacramento.

San Francisco Giants Demote Jonah Cox to Triple-A Sacramento<\/p>\n

The Giants announced<\/a> one more roster move on Tuesday: \u201cOF Jonah Cox<\/a> returned from his rehabilitation assignment, reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. \u2013 IF\/OF Eddys Leonard<\/a> (#49) selected from Triple-A Sacramento.\u201d<\/p>\n

#SFGiants<\/a> roster moves:
\n\u2013 OF Jonah Cox returned from his rehabilitation assignment, reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
\n\u2013 IF\/OF Eddys Leonard (#49<\/a>) selected from Triple-A Sacramento.<\/p>\n

Cox originally made the rare jump from Double-A Richmond to the MLB. But he only appeared in 24 games, recording 7 hits in 26 at-bats. The outfielder was better known for his speed in the minor leagues. He had 4 stolen bases in his short stint with San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old missed four weeks with a strained oblique and last played for the Giants on Jul. 5. It will be interesting to see if Cox will make the big league roster before the season ends.<\/p>\n

Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area<\/a> shared more details about San Francisco\u2019s roster move on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Giants called up utility man Eddys Leonard to fill their open roster spot. They added him to their Triple-A roster recently, he was 4-for-28 \u2026 but the four hits were all home runs. Jonah Cox is done with his rehab but was optioned to Triple-A,\u201d Pavlovic wrote on X.<\/a><\/p>\n
