Johan

Camargo

Camargo got into eight games for the Giants before being removed from San Francisco’s 40-man roster back in late August. The 29-year-old offers plenty of defensive versatility and could wind up latching on somewhere else before the regular season wraps up.

The versatile 29-year-old infielder passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra depth for the Giants at the Triple-A level. Camargo went 4-for-18 (.222) with two RBI during his brief time with the big league club.

The move creates room for Paul DeJong on the roster. Camargo, who was helping to fill in at short, played in eight games for the Giants, going 4-for-18.

The 29-year-old was just signed as a minor league free agent on Sunday after getting cut loose by the Tigers, and the Giants will immediately give him a shot to function as a reserve infielder at the big league level. He hit just .238/.295/.400 with three homers in 22 games at Triple-A Toledo before getting axed by the Tigers.

Carmargo was recently cut loose by the Tigers after hitting .238/.295/.400 with three homers across 22 games. The versatile 29-year-old will serve as organizational depth for Giants and could receive a call-up in San Francisco before season’s end.

Camargo was just signed back in June after hitting .298/.412/.544 with four homers in 15 games with the Royals’ Triple-A affiliate. He signed with Detroit in hopes of earning a call-up but hit .238/.295.400 with three home runs in 22 games and will now need to look for an opportunity elsewhere. At just 29 years old, it’s likely the versatile veteran gets another shot in somebody’s organization.

He’s been assigned to Triple-A Toledo. Camargo exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league deal with the Royals last week after batting .298/.412/.544 with four homers in 15 games with their Triple-A affiliate. The 29-year-old will hope to eventually earn a call-up in Detroit.

According to MLB Trade Rumors, Camargo exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league contract with the Royals after batting .298/.412/.544 with four homers in 15 games this season for Triple-A Omaha. The 29-year-old utility infielder got into 52 games last year for the Phillies and should resurface somewhere else in short order.

Camargo is in Royals’ camp this spring fighting for a spot on their season-opening roster in a reserve role. He could wind up missing a couple weeks, depending on the severity of the issue, especially if it’s oblique-related. Stay tuned.

Camargo provides the Royals with some extra infield depth heading into the 2023 season after batting .237/.297/.316 with three homers across 166 plate appearances over 52 games last season for the Phillies. The 29-year-old offers plenty of defensive versatility, but he hasn’t been an impact offensive contributor since launching a career-high 19 homers back in 2018 with the Braves. He’s a solid depth addition for Kansas City.
