Gregory Santos

Giants Designate Tyler Beede For Assignment

By Mark Polishuk | May 5, 2022 at 6:05pm CDT

6:05PM: In addition to the Beede DFA, Giants manager Gabe Kapler told reporters (including MLB.com’s Maria I. Guardado) that the club also reinstated right-hander Zack Littell from the COVID-19 list, optioned infielder Kevin Padlo to Triple-A, and called up right-hander Gregory Santos.

5:10PM: The Giants designated right-hander Tyler Beede for assignment, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area (Twitter link).  Beede is out of minor league options, so a DFA was necessary for the Giants to send him to the minors or outright him from their 40-man roster.

The 14th overall pick of the 2014 draft, Beede has appeared in four of the last five MLB seasons, posting a 5.39 ERA over 135 1/3 innings in a San Francisco uniform.  This season saw Beede record six walks against only four strikeouts in 9 2/3 frames of work out of the Giants bullpen, en route to a 4.66 ERA.

Between Beede’s high draft pedigree out of Vanderbilt and his quality numbers early in his minor league career, Beede appeared on some top-100 prospect lists prior to the 2017 season but then seemed to hit something of a wall.  The right-hander was rarely consistent at the Triple-A level or in his first few tastes of MLB action, and Beede’s career was then further interrupted by Tommy John surgery in 2020.

Returning from the IL last May, Beede’s 2021 season consisted of a single big league inning, a 6.66 ERA over 48 2/3 innings for Triple-A Sacramento, and a lower back strain that required a trip to the 60-day IL.  Those Triple-A numbers were exacerbated by an ugly 18.4% walk rate, as Beede continues to be hampered by the major control issues that began to surface in 2018.

While the Giants might be able to sneak Beede through waivers, today’s move might mark the end of his time in San Francisco.  Another team could possibly make a waiver claim to see if the 28-year-old Beede would benefit from a change of scenery, given the potential he showed early in his career.

Giants Place Mike Tauchman On Injured List

By Anthony Franco | July 1, 2021 at 7:51pm CDT

The Giants announced they’ve placed outfielder Mike Tauchman on the 10-day injured list due to a right knee sprain. To replace him on the active roster, San Francisco reinstated fellow outfielder Jaylin Davis from the 60-day IL. A 40-man roster spot for Davis’ activation was opened when right-hander Gregory Santos was suspended for performance-enhancing drugs earlier this week.

Tauchman is only expected to miss 10-14 days, as his sprain is relatively minor, the team told reporters (including Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle). Upon his return, the 30-year-old will need to perform better than he has in recent weeks. The Giants acquired Tauchman from the Yankees in April, but the left-handed hitter has only managed a .180/.292/.295 line in 161 plate appearances in black and orange. Tauchman is out of minor league option years, so the Giants will need to continue to keep him on the active roster once he returns from the IL or make him available to other clubs.

The activation is a nice birthday present for Davis, who turns 27 years old today. He’ll be making his season debut once he gets into a game. Davis has been sidelined all year by right knee tendinitis. The powerful right-handed hitter hasn’t done much over 59 major league plate appearances to date, but he’s mashed at a .329/.412/.709 clip in 357 trips to the dish at Triple-A.

The Giants also provided an update on injured first baseman Brandon Belt. He’ll attempt to rehab from the right knee inflammation that sent him to the IL last week (via Andrew Baggarly of the Athletic). Surgery, which would’ve sidelined Belt for eight-to-twelve weeks, had been on the table, but there’s a realistic chance for the 33-year-old to return without going under the knife. There’s no timetable for his return, but Baggarly notes he’ll be “definitiely” be back in less than two months if all goes well.

Giants’ Gregory Santos Suspended For Performance-Enhancing Drug Use

By Anthony Franco | June 29, 2021 at 3:36pm CDT

Giants’ right-hander Gregory Santos has been suspended for eighty games after testing positive for the banned substance Stanozolol, Major League Baseball announced this afternoon. He has been on optional assignment to Triple-A Sacramento.

Santos, who entered the season as Baseball America’s #23 prospect in the Giants organization, made his MLB debut in April. He’s appeared in three big league games, tossing two innings of six-run ball. Santos has spent most of the year with Sacramento, where he’s worked to a 5.17 ERA with worse-than-average strikeout and walk rates (20.5% and 12.3%, respectively) across 15 2/3 relief innings.

The River Cats only have 74 games remaining this season, so today’s suspension will end Santos’ 2021 campaign. He’ll be placed on the restricted list, which will open up a spot on the Giants 40-man roster.

Giants Designate Chris Shaw, Aramis Garcia, Jordan Humphreys

By Connor Byrne | November 20, 2020 at 6:45pm CDT

The Giants have designated first baseman/outfielder Chris Shaw, catcher Aramis Garcia and right-hander Jordan Humphreys for assignment. They added outfielder Alexander Canario and righties Kervin Castro, Camilo Doval and Gregory Santos to their 40-man roster in corresponding moves.

Shaw was once a well-regarded prospect for the Giants, but the 27-year-old hasn’t gotten an extensive look in the majors yet. He’s the owner of a .153/.244/.222 line in 82 plate appearances as a Giant. Like Shaw, Garcia was seen as a promising farmhand in the past, but he stumbled to a .229/.270/.419  mark in 111 trips to the plate in San Francisco from 2018-19.

Humphreys was the return the Giants received from the Mets for outfielder Billy Hamilton last August. The deal could go down as a wash for both sides, as Hamilton is now a free agent after making little impact with the Mets and Humphreys hasn’t contributed to the Giants. The 24-year-old barely pitched at all from 2018-19 because of arm problems.
