San Francisco Giants claim pitcher Philip Abner amid roster changes
The San Francisco Giants have claimed left-handed pitcher Philip Abner from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Abner, 24, has been assigned to the team’s Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento.
To facilitate these roster changes, the Giants transferred catcher Daniel Susac and outfielder Harrison Bader to the 60-day injured list. Susac is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a fractured patella, while Bader remains sidelined with plantar fasciitis and injuries from a scooter accident.
In Philadelphia, the Phillies have implemented defensive shifts following the acquisition of Luis Arraez. The changes include moving Bryson Stott to third base and Alec Bohm to first base, which has resulted in Bryce Harper moving to right field. Shortstop Trea Turner noted that the change to Bohm at first base provides a larger target, which can assist infielders with throwing accuracy.
