San Francisco Giants Announce Marcelo Mayer News
Ahead of their series with the Twins, the Giants announced news about Marcelo Mayer.
MLB.com wrote (on September 19): “Ran the bases for a second straight day on Sept. 19. Could make his Giants debut on Sept. 21.”
Fans would be very excited to see Mayer make his Giants debut.
Justice delos Santos of Mercury News wrote (on September 19): “Marcelo Mayer ran the bases for a second straight day, and he’s getting close to returning. Monday is a possibility with no rehab assignment.”
Looking At Mayer
Mayer (who is only 23) was a highly touted prospect.
He is the ideal player for the Giants to take a chance on with the current state of their roster.
The Giants acquired Mayer (via the Boston Red Sox) last month.
MLB.com wrote (on August 3): “Boston Red Sox traded 2B Marcelo Mayer to San Francisco Giants for LHP Erik Miller and CF Carlos Gutierrez.”
Mayer is batting .223 with 74 hits, seven home runs, 32 RBIs, 39 runs and three stolen bases in 114 career MLB games.
Looking At The Giants Right Now
The Giants are currently the fourth-place team in the National League West with a 64-92 record in 156 games.
They have lost seven out of their last ten games (and are 36-39 in 75 games at home).
Following their series with the Twins, the Giants will finish their season (at home) against the Dodgers.
