Giants Reassign 3B Coach Borg, Name Wotus Interim Coach
Ron Wotus will take over on an interim basis after Hector Borg was removed following several baserunning decisions that hurt the Giants, including a key out at the plate.
- The San Francisco Giants announced Friday that third-base coach Hector Borg has been removed from his duties and will be reassigned, with Ron Wotus serving as interim third-base coach.
- Borg was replaced following a series of questionable in-game decisions, most recently in Wednesday's 3-2 loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks when he aggressively waved Willy Adames home.
- San Francisco enters Friday 12 games under.500, ranking as the National League's worst baserunning team according to FanGraphs, with shortcomings partially resulting from Borg's decisions.
- Manager Tony Vitello praised Borg as "one of the hardest working guys we have around, certainly one of the most personable and just high character guys," while the team seeks a permanent replacement.
- After spending 24 seasons on the Giants coaching staff, Wotus, 65, returns to the third-base role, having previously served in the position for four games earlier this season.
