Giants Select Ruben Tejada, Place Joe Panik On Concussion DL

By Jeff Todd | June 29, 2016 at 6:09pm CDT

The Giants have selected the contract of infielder Ruben Tejada, as Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area first tweeted. To create roster space, the club placed second baseman Joe Panik on the 7-day concussion DL and put Chris Heston on the 60-day DL.

[Related: Updated Giants Depth Chart]

Tejada joined the Giants on a minor league deal after opening the season with the Cardinals. (First, of course, he was cut loose by the Mets just before the season began.) The 26-year-old hasn’t shown much at the plate this year, and is typically a slightly-below-average hitter, but the club is obviously in need of dependable infielders given its injury situation.

The loss of Panik comes at an inopportune time, as third baseman Matt Duffy is already on the DL — along with utilitymen Kelby Tomlinson and Ehire Adrianza. Panik had been plunked recently, but the effects of the beaning only took hold a few days later.

It still seems that the Giants can expect most of these players back in relatively short order, but the uncertainty could increase the club’s apparent interest in adding another infield piece. San Francisco has been tied to players such as Yunel Escobar (link) and Yulieski Gurriel (link) in recent weeks, though we’ve heard even more chatter about the possibility that the club could pitching or outfield help.

    This is the first time I’ve heard of the 7-day concussion DL! When was that created?

    Edit: answered my own question, 2011.

    The Giants must like their 40 man roster because to make space for Tejada, they brought up an injured Heston from the minors then placed him on the 60 day DL where he’ll now get service time and a major league pay check. Pence is also on the 60 day DL so when he returns the Giants will have no choice but to make a 40 man move.
