The San Francisco Giants signed a veteran to help them through at least the next week without their starter, Patrick Bailey.
To make room, the Giants designated catcher Jakson Reetz for assignment. Knapp is expected to start on Friday.
San Francisco called up Reetz three days ago after the Giants placed Bailey on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain. The idea was to pair Reetz with Curt Casali as a tandem until Bailey was ready to return.Knapp, 32, is making a return to San Francisco. He last played for the franchise in 2022, when he appeared in three games. That season he played for three different teams as he also played a handful with theon a minor-league deal.
The Giants are hopeful that Bailey will only need 10 days on the injured list. This is his third time on the IL this year, with the other two stints being on the 7-day concussion list. Bailey’s year at the plate is nearly identical to that of his first season in the Majors in 2023. In 96 games he’s batted .233/.299/.344/.643 with seven home runs and 38 RBI.Matthew Postins is an award-winning sports journalist who covers the Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets and Houston Astros for Sports Illustrated/FanNation.
