The Giants had a swapping of the Sams before their series opener against the Rangers.
Right-handed reliever Sam Coonrod was put on the 10-day injured list with a right lat strain and left-handed reliever Sam Selman was called up to take his spot.
Coonrod has had a rocky start to the 2020 season. He's made four appearances, allowing three earned runs in 3 2/3 innings, with two strikeouts and three walks. Coonrod pitched in Thursday night's loss to the Padres and gave up a run on a walk and a double. He hit 98 mph and averaged 97 with his fastball, so there were no clear signs that he was hurting. Manager Gabe Kapler said Coonrod was getting tests and the Giants would know more later about when the injury happened.

Selman, 29, made 10 appearances out of the bullpen last year. He had a 4.35 ERA and averaged about a strikeout per inning.
"He's looked good in our secondary camp," Kapler said. "He threw an inning and a third on the 29th so he has the ability to come in and give us some length. That's helpful for today. The Rangers run out a pretty lefty-heavy lineup, so Selman gives us a nice option."
