As the San Francisco Giants work through a 40-man roster crunch, they're trading infielder Nate Furman to the Washington Nationals for minor league left-hander Tony Neubeck, sources tell ESPN. There will be more roster-clearing moves like this before tomorrow's cutdown to 40.
Kyle Tucker showed excellent discipline and contact today.
Just an 11% chase rate, no whiffs, and 9-for-9 on pitches in the zone. The results were modest, but the approach was outstanding.
Freddie is back!
Two hits, including a clutch RBI single, with strong contact quality and an elite launch shape. This looks much more like the Freddie we know.
