San Francisco Giants just announce the departure of six players

SF Giants shake up team with six roster moves before final series

Outfielder Mitch Haniger and infielder J.D. Davis have been shutdown for the remainder of the season for the SF Giants

The SF Giants have shut down a pair of veteran position players, effectively ending their season ahead of the final series of the year against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The organization announced that both Mitch Haniger and J.D. Davis have been placed on the 10-day injured list –– Haniger with a low back strain and Davis with a left shoulder strain.

For Haniger, his rough first season in San Francisco comes to a screeching halt with his second appearance on the injured list –– an errant pitch from St. Louis righty Jack Flaherty fractured his wrist on June 13, resulting in a surgery that kept him out until Aug. 29.

San Francisco Giants Did Not Take Full Advantage of MLB Trade Deadline

Haniger, 32, inked a three-year, $43.5 million deal with the Giants before the season with the expectation of him becoming a significant right-handed power bat to add to their outfield. Aligned with his career norms, Haniger’s injury history once again caught up to him in San Francisco. During his first season with the club, Haniger slashed just .209/.266/.365 in 229 plate appearances with six homers and 28 runs batted in.
