Giants' Ryan Hanigan: Headed to Giants on minors deal
Ryan Hanigan agreed to a minor-league deal with the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.Hanigan slashed .267/.324/.347 over 33 games with the Rockies last season but had yet to catch on with a big-league club in 2018. The veteran backstop was cut loose by the Indians back in mid-March, and this will be his first opportunity with a team since. Hanigan will serve primarily as organizational depth, as Buster Posey is locked in as the main catcher, with Nick Hundley seemingly safe in a backup role.

Ryan Hanigan: Cut loose by Indians
Ryan Hanigan was released by the Indians on Monday, T.J. Zuppe of The Athletic Cleveland reports.Hanigan was never projected to make the team's Opening Day roster with Roberto Perez and Yan Gomes ahead of him. The 37-year-old is still a solid defender, but he doesn't figure to serve as anything more than organizational catching depth in 2018.

Indians' Ryan Hanigan: Lands minors deal with Cleveland
Ryan Hanigan agreed Monday with the Cleveland Indians on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.Both of the Indians' top two catchers from 2017 (Roberto Perez and Yan Gomes) have multiple years left on their contract and top prospect Francisco Mejia could be ready for duty behind the plate at some point this season, so it's difficult to envision Hanigan parlaying his minor-league deal into an extended stint with the big club in 2018, barring an injury to one of the aforementioned players. The 37-year-old Hanigan is well regarded for his receiving skills, but wouldn't bring much offensive upside to the table if he ends up landing regular plate appearances with the Indians. He slashed .267/.324/.347 across 112 plate appearances with Colorado last season, which equated to a meager 59 wRC+.

Rockies' Ryan Hanigan: Playing time limited following return from DL
Ryan Hanigan logged just five regular-season at-bats after returning from the disabled list in early September.That being said, the veteran did notch three hits in those five at-bats, but the presence of Jonathan Lucroy really hurt Hanigan's value. His .267 batting average on the season was his best mark in that category since 2012 when he was still with the Reds, but he seems likely to remain a backup no matter where he lands this winter.

Rockies' Ryan Hanigan: Lands on DL with groin strain
Ryan Hanigan was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right groin strain.Hanigan said he was "a little banged up" over the weekend, according to Nick Groke of The Denver Post, so the Colorado Rockies decided to give him some time on the shelf to get better. It's unclear how long he'll be sidelined at this point, but the Rockies won't miss him much given the recent addition of Jonathan Lucroy. Tony Wolters was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and will serve as the backup to Lucroy until Hanigan is back.

Rockies' Ryan Hanigan: Dealing with groin issue
Ryan Hanigan has a strained groin, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.Hanigan remarked that he's "a little banged up" and, as such, should be considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener against the Royals. The catcher doesn't play much anyway -- he only has 96 at-bats this year -- so any absence won't have much, if any, fantasy impact.
