Giants Claim Left-Handed Pitcher Reiver Sanmartin to Bolster Bullpen Depth

The San Francisco Giants claimed left-handed pitcher Reiver Sanmartin from the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday as part of a roster shuffle. Sanmartin, 29, is seen as a potential asset for the Giants, who are looking to rebuild their bullpen and are short on left-handed depth. He has a career 5.66 ERA in 62 big league appearances, with only one in the past two years due to elbow surgery in 2023. However, he posted a more promising 3.34 ERA in Triple-A last season, indicating potential for contribution as the Giants address their pitching needs.
