Whitcomb, 27, hit .130 in 17 games for Houston, and the Giants added him to a thin infield while clearing a roster spot for McDonald.
- On Friday, the San Francisco Giants claimed infielder Shay Whitcomb off waivers from the Houston Astros, transferring RHP Trevor McDonald to the 60-day Injured List to open a roster spot.
- Whitcomb, a 27-year-old infielder, has struggled in 57 career games, batting.130 with three home runs; he previously ranked 17th in Houston's system out of UCSD.
- San Francisco immediately optioned Whitcomb to Triple-A Sacramento to provide infield depth, after he had been designated for assignment earlier this week.
- These moves follow a difficult stretch as the Giants have dropped seven of their last 10 games, including a 5-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Friday night.
- Saturday's matchup features RHP Logan Webb starting for the Giants against Colorado RHP Michael Lorenzen as the team seeks to rebound.
