The Giants recalled Doval from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Doval was optioned to Sacramento on Aug. 9 after blowing his fifth save of the season the day prior. Over his final four minor-league outings, Doval threw 4.2 scoreless innings while recording five strikeouts to earn the call back to the majors. Ryan Walker had taken over as the Giants' closer since Doval's demotion and has gone 3-for-3 in save chances, so Doval could have to settle for a setup role now that he's back with the big club.
