Sarcastic F-wad
Forgot to update the roster...Apparently, the Giants are going a player short today and will activate Strickland tomorrow. I assume that means Sandoval will be moved to the 60 day.

They don't even have room for any guys that want to add in September. There will be, I'd guess, a couple of guys who get dfa'd in a couple of weeks (and maybe Samardzija transferred to the 60 day if they don't like his rehab).
Black optioned to Sacto.
Law recalled.
Apparently he has been working with Vogey in Sacto and they found something mechanical.Black has been terrible lately, but Law has been terrible all year in Sacto. Hope he does well, and finds whatever he lost up here.
Black will be back in 12 days.Black has been terrible lately, but Law has been terrible all year in Sacto. Hope he does well, and finds whatever he lost up here.

Rodriguez activated
Kelly optioned (didn’t know he had options)
I believe it is 10 days.And if the Giants call him back up on Sept. 1st, he technically wouldn't waste an option year, right? Don't you have to spend like 20 days in the minors for an option to count? I mean he's spent all year in the minors, but not on the 40 man roster. Does that become retroactive once he's added to the 40 man?
I believe it is 10 days.
Players on a 40-man roster are given three Minor League "options." An option allows that player to be sent to the Minor Leagues ("optioned") without first being subjected to waivers. When a player is optioned to the Minors for a span of more than 20 days, he loses an option.
Kelly had his contract first purchased in late August 2012 and was on the 60 day dl for most of 2013 and 2014. His 1st option was used in 2015. His 2nd option was used in 2016 and was outrighted that following offseason. So, yes, he does have one more option year.And if the Giants call him back up on Sept. 1st, he technically wouldn't waste an option year, right?

Even if it were 10 days, his option would still be preserved.20
To me, it seems like the rules would allow for Kelly to preserve his option this year
