Giants' Drew Stubbs: DFA'd by Giants
Drew Stubbs was designated for assignment by the San Francisco Giants on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Stubbs was just 2-for-22 (.091) through 10 games with the Giants before being ousted off the roster.

Giants' Drew Stubbs: Out of lineup Sunday
Drew Stubbs is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Ron Kroichick of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.Stubbs had started five of his first six games in a San Francisco Giants uniform, but after Stubbs went 2-for-15 with five strikeouts in those contests, manager Bruce Bochy will give Gorkys Hernandez a spin in center field. It's likely that Bochy will simply ride the hot bat between the two center fielders until Denard Span (shoulder) returns from the disabled list.

Giants' Drew Stubbs: Returning to majors
Drew Stubbs had his contract purchased from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.Stubbs was added to the San Francisco Giants to take the roster spot of Chris Marrero, who was DFA'd earlier Monday after hitting just .132 through 15 games (38 at-bats). He's batting eighth and playing center field for Monday's contest against the Dodgers, and he could see plenty of playing time in the near future given the Giants' injury-plagued outfield.

Giants' Drew Stubbs: Could get call to majors soon
With Denard Span (shoulder) in danger of landing on the disabled list, Drew Stubbs would be the favorite to take his place on the roster, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.The 32-year-old is having a strong start to the season with Triple-A Sacramento, slashing .265/.375/.471 with two home runs and a steal in 40 plate appearances. Stubbs has always possessed a fantasy-friendly skill set, so he could enter the equation as a short-term option in deep leagues if he does get the call to the majors.

Giants' Drew Stubbs: Finalizes deal with Giants
Drew Stubbs agreed to a minor-league contract with the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.With Mac Williamson (quadriceps) and Mike Morse (hamstring) out with injuries, the Giants are lighter than expected on outfield depth. He'll head to extended spring training before he likely heads to Triple-A Sacramento, though he could see some time in the majors at some point in 2017. Stubbs was released by the Twins after struggling in spring training, and he is coming off a year where he slashed .225/.330/.338 with three different major-league teams.

Twins' Drew Stubbs: Making case for reserve role
Drew Stubbs went 1-for-1 with two walks in Monday's spring training win over Miami. He's competing for a reserve outfielder role. "He's a veteran guy, he's had some numbers. He's got an opportunity here," manager Paul Molitor told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.Stubbs hit just .225 with a .667 OPS last season with three different MLB teams. He's likely a long shot to win a reserve outfield role, but it's possible that the Minnesota Twins' new management may not be totally committed to Robbie Grossman as the fourth outfielder.
