Lovegrove

The 24-year-old hurler was cut loose by the Giants early last week after posting a miserable 8.69 ERA across 19 2/3 innings at Double-A Richmond. He’ll try to right the ship and get his career back on track in Baltimore.

Lovegrove was in major league camp with the Giants this spring but got sent to Double-A Richmond before the regular season began and went on to post an 8.69 ERA in 19 2/3 innings there. The 24-year-old former third-round pick put up good numbers in the Indians’ minor league system in 2018 and should be able to find another opportunity in MLB-affiliated ball.

Lovegrove, 24, was a third-round pick by the Indians in 2014, and he has spent his entire career in their system before signing with the Giants. He posted a 2.73 ERA over three levels while striking out 66 hitters in 59 1/3 innings last year, so there’s a chance he could see time in the San Francisco bullpen in 2019.
