Giants Claim Brett Harris

The Giants claimed infielder Brett Harris off waivers from the Red Sox, per a team announcement. He’s been optioned to Triple-A. Harris was designated for assignment on Tuesday to clear a spot for right-hander Jedixson Paez. San Francisco also moved righty Keaton Winn to the 60-day IL. While the moves were announced at the same time, the Giants didn’t need to clear a spot for Harris. The club has a couple of 40-man roster openings. Winn’s placement on the 60-day IL makes it a whopping 14 guys on the list for San Francisco. 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. More to come… View Comments (0)
