Giants recalled INF/OF Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sacramento.

Whitcomb receives his first opportunity with San Francisco after being claimed off waivers from the Astros earlier this month. The 27-year-old has flashed an interesting power/speed skillset in the upper minors for the last couple years, but was never able to parlay that into a permanent role in Houston.

Giants claimed 3B Shay Whitcomb off waivers from the Astros.

We’re unsure if he’ll be reporting directly to Triple-A Sacramento or if he’ll join the Giants bench, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he got a shot to show something in the bigs towards the end of a lost season.

Astros designated INF Shay Whitcomb for assignment.

Whitcomb went just 3-for-23 in 24 plate appearances for the Astros this season with two home runs and an 11/5 K/BB ratio. He was hitting .274/.338/.420 with nine home runs, 52 RBI, and 23 steals in 73 games at Triple-A, so somebody may take a gamble on the 27-year-old.

Astros recalled INF/OF Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Whitcomb gets the call to replace an injured Nick Allen (hamstring) on Houston’s bench. The versatile 27-year-old has gone 2-for-17 with one round-tripper and four RBI in 14 games at the big-league level this season. He’s always been an intriguing talent, and has posted some huge power/speed combo numbers at the Triple-A level, but it’s never really come together at the highest level.

Nick Allen has been scratched from Saturday’s lineup against the Cardinals.

The Astros announced that Allen is available to play, so it appears that Houston just wants to add some more offense into the lineup for Saturday’s game. Carlos Correa will move to shortstop, and Shay Whitcomb will handle third base and hit ninth in Allen’s absence.
