  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    McKenna cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Sacramento, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: McKenna was DFA'd for the second time this season Tuesday, though he will clear waivers this time around and remain within the Giants organization. The 27-year-old outfielder put up a .244/.333/.444 slash line with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate, but he would likely have to further improve upon those numbers before drawing consideration for a return to San Francisco.

  • Brewers option Owen Miller back to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned INF/OF Owen Miller to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) returning from the injured list on Friday, there was no longer room on the bench for Miller. He’ll return to an everyday role at Triple-A Nashville until his services are needed again at the big league level. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago

  • Back in lineup Friday
    Hoskins will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth in Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Hoskins has been out of action since May 13 due to a right hamstring strain, and he was activated off the injured list Friday. He'll face off against White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Brewers activate Rhys Hoskins from 10-day IL
    Brewers activated 1B Rhys Hoskins from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The 31-year-old slugger will make his triumphant return to the Brewers’ starting lineup on Friday night against the White Sox. Prior to landing on the injured list with a right hamstring strain, Hoskins was hitting .233/.340/.474 with nine homers and 27 RBI through his first 38 games. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to Nashville
    The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Advice: Miller was recalled from Nashville earlier in May to provide depth as Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed to the injured list. Now that Hoskins is back, Miller will be pushed back to Triple-A. The 27-year-old infielder has slashed .185/.185/.222 across 27 big-league plate appearances this season, but he figures to be on the shortlist for a return to Milwaukee should the Brewers run into more depth issues.

  • Activated from IL
    The Brewers reinstated Hoskins (hamstring) from the injured list Friday.

    Advice: Hoskins has been on the injured list since he strained his right hamstring during a game against Pittsburgh on May 13. He was originally expected to come off the IL during Milwaukee's upcoming road series in Philadelphia, but the slugging first baseman will instead return a few days early without playing in any rehab games. Hoskins should immediately return to a near-everyday role for the Brewers, though he may see more action as a DH as he gets his hamstring used to playing in games again. Owen Miller was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Recalled by San Francisco
    The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with Marco Luciano being placed on the injured list due to a right hamstring strain. Since being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on May 17, Schmitt has gone 14-for-44 with 12 runs, four home runs and 12 RBI. With both Luciano and Nick Ahmed (wrist) on the IL, Schmitt will likely see starts at shortstop against southpaws, while the lefty-hitting Brett Wisely starts against right-handers.

  • Giants send Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A
    Giants sent C Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: As anticipated, the 28-year-old backstop passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to serve as extra catching depth for the Giants at the Triple-A level. Reetz went just 1-for-12 (.083) with a solo homer and four strikeouts during his time with the big league club. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
     
  • Giants outright Ryan McKenna to Triple-A
    Giants sent OF Ryan McKenna outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: The 27-year-old outfielder passed through waivers unclaimed and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Sacramento. He’ll continue to function as excess outfield depth for the Giants until he’s called upon once more. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
