Dominican infielder Eddys Leonard has been promoted by the San Francisco Giants, per sources.<\/p>\n

Leonard, 25, originally signed with the Dodgers in 2017 and spent nearly a decade working his way through the minor leagues before earning his MLB promotion today.<\/p>\n

Leonard has yet to make his MLB<\/a> debut.<\/p>\n

He was recently released<\/a> by the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> (before signing with the Giants<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people were saying about the news:<\/p>\n

Jeff Young:<\/a> \u201cThat was quick. Leonard was just signed to a minor league deal about 10 days ago. Power bat. In fact, all 4 of his hits with Sacramento have been home runs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alex Pavlovic:<\/a> \u201cThe Giants<\/a> 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<\/p>\n

@C2Cbsbl:<\/a> \u201cI like this very much Eddys Leonard is the guy I wanted up as soon as Casey got hurt, he\u2019s mashed in AAA this year I\u2019d love to see him get extended run at 3B, no more Koss please\u201d<\/p>\n
