The Giants have claimed right-hander Jordan Humphreys off waivers from Cleveland, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. The Indians designated Humphreys for assignment Wednesday. In a corresponding move, the Giants placed righty Tyler Beede on the 60-day injured list as he continues to recover from March 2020 Tommy John surgery.
This will be the second go-around with San Francisco for Humphreys, whom the team first acquired from the Mets for outfielder Billy Hamilton last August. Humphreys never made an appearance with the Giants, though, and they designated him in November. The Indians quickly claimed Humphreys, who only lasted about three months with the organization.
An 18th-round pick of the Mets in 2015, Humphreys has yet to get past the High-A level, owing in part to the Tommy John procedure he underwent in 2017. The 24-year-old has performed well in the minors, however, with a 2.60 ERA and a 26.1 percent strikeout rate against a minuscule 4.4 percent walk rate over 169 2/3 innings.
Ooh a shiny object!
Claimed him back!! Ha ha nice work Farman.
He has minor league options. Going to need them too.
Farhan damn autocorrect.
A lot of hump days coming up in the Bay Area!
Excellent 2017 season in the South Atlantic League.
I wasn’t singing, guy.
Glad he got that growth removed from his back.
Now he is HUMPHREYS !!
Oh
I think even Stevie Wonder saw this coming….
But I’m glad. I was disappointed when the Giants had to DFA him. Wanted to see what he could bring to the table. Now we should find out!
Always hate to lose young pitching. Well you know what Tito says. Whenever you think you got enough pitching,go out and get more.
I’m perfectly fine with all the moves the Giants are making. These are low risk-high reward moves. 2022 and 2023 are when we start moving forward to the playoffs.
I’m pretty sure most of the signings this offseason are low risk low reward.
Good, solid move with some upside.
I like seeing all these deep grabs during our down years. Getting excited to see possible yaz, Dickerson, Donny barrels with some of these guys this year.
I hope they still have plans for Tyler Beede . Hoping he shows his potential when he recovers from TJ
I really doubt Giants want him on a 40–probably looking for a time to “reassign” him during a time to where he would clear waivers.
Another Zaidi dumpster dive. “Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile.”
