• Giants' Donovan Walton: Outrighted to Sacramento

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Walton cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Walton appeared in nine games for the Giants in 2024, during which he went 3-for-22 with a home run and two RBI. Most of his time was spent in Sacramento, however, where he slashed .305/.377/.438 with 51 RBI across 387 plate appearances. The 30-year-old infielder now seems destined to remain in the minors to start the 2025 campaign and continue serving as organizational depth.

• Giants' Donovan Walton: Picks up fourth straight start

  09/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Walton will start at second base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Orioles, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Walton will pick up his fourth consecutive start at the keystone, including his third in a row against a right-handed starting pitcher.
