Kolton Ingram: Everything you need to know

Atlanta signed Ingram to a minor-league contract Nov. 19. After reaching the big leagues for the first time in 2023 as a member of the Angels, Ingram spent the entire 2024 campaign in the minors with four different organizations. Between stops at the Triple-A and Double-A level last season, Ingram accrued 3.59 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 52:36 K:BB in 52.2 innings. He'll serve as relief depth in the upper levels of Atlanta's minor-league system in 2025.

The Giants outrighted Ingram to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday after he cleared waivers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Since the beginning of February, Ingram has spent time in six different organizations, but he looks like he'll stick around with San Francisco for now after going unclaimed off waivers. The 27-year-old lefty has yet to appear at the big-league level this season after logging 5.1 innings with the Angels in 2023.

Ingram was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, per MLB's transaction log. Ingram was brought up to the big leagues Saturday but failed to make an appearance before being sent back down. His last big-league action dates back to the 2023 season when he allowed five runs on eight hits and five walks while striking out seven over 5.1 frames (five appearances) with the Angels.
