The Giants optioned Brennan to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. Just one day after being called up to the big club, Brennan will wind up heading back to Sacramento. The Giants weren't eager to give him a regular run of at-bats in the outfield, and the left-handed-hitting Brennan wouldn't have offered much value in a bench role since he couldn't be platooned with either Drew Gilbert or Jung Hoo Lee. Brennan was swapped off the 26-man active roster in favor of Jonah Cox, who was called up from Double-A Richmond and should be more useful bench piece due to his right-handedness and ability to play all three outfield spots.

William Brennan: Breaking News
Back in big leagues
The Giants recalled Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday. After being sent to Triple-A on Friday, Brennan will turn right back around and rejoin the active roster as an injury replacement for Harrison Bader (foot). Brennan has gone just 2-for-23 at the plate in the majors this season and will likely work primarily as a depth piece until Bader returns.
Optioned to Triple-A
The Giants optioned Brennan to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. Brennan has managed to go just 2-for-23 during his limited opportunities with the Giants. The club did not announce a corresponding roster move, but it's possible Jung Hoo Lee (back) returns from the IL for this weekend's series in Colorado.
