The Giants' wave of prospects continues as the team is reportedly calling up infielder Miguel Gomez from Double-A. 

Gomez, 24, is hitting .305 with eight home runs in 78 games played this season for the Richmond Flying Squirrels. He went 2-for-5 Thursday night with a double, triple and two RBI.

With Richmond, Gomez has strictly played second base after seeing plenty of action at third base in 2016. 

In May, Gomez broke out with a .355/.377/.527 slash line, but then he struggled in June, slashing .248/.267/.396. 

Gomez is ranked as the Giants' No. 29 prospect by MLB Pipeline and he came in as the team's No. 30 prospect according to Baseball America's preseason list.
