According to his transactions tracker, infielder Brett Harris has been claimed by the San Francisco Giants:
“San Francisco Giants claimed 3B Brett Harris off waivers from Boston Red Sox.”
He has since been optioned to AAA Sacramento.
Harris, 28, played just one game with the Boston Red Sox, and only recorded two at-bats.
MLBTR.com’s Charlie Wright wrote (on 9/3):
“The Red Sox acquired Harris in a minor trade with the A’s in July. He’d recently been DFAed by the Athletics. Harris appeared in just one game with Boston shortly after the trade. He started at first base and went 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch. He’s spent the majority of the year at Triple-A. Harris has compiled a strong 119 wRC+ across 71 minor league games between the two organizations.”
