AJ Pollock: Cut loose by Giants
The Giants activated A.J. Pollock (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and released him Monday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.After being acquired from the Mariners on July 31, Pollock went 0-for-6 over two games with the Giants before landing on the IL with a left oblique strain. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento this weekend and seems to be back to full health, but the Giants didn't have room for him on the 28-man active roster and will now part ways with the veteran outfielder. Pollock has endured a rough 2023 campaign between his stops with Seattle and San Francisco, slashing .165/.215/.308 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 15 runs scored in 144 plate appearances.

Giants' AJ Pollock: Hitless in San Francisco debut
A.J. Pollock went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.Pollock had a minimal stay on the injured list with a hamstring strain, allowing him to promptly make his San Francisco Giants debut after he was traded from the Mariners on Monday. The outfielder was batting just .173 over 49 contests with Seattle, and his Giants career is off to a humble start. Given manager Gabe Kapler's preferences for platoons, the righty-hitting Pollock shouldn't be expected to start very often against right-handed pitchers.
