2 straight years with nothing to show from the rule V (3 picks).
Wasn't he already on the 40? Are they making room early for Cueto or, more likely, we about to find out about another waiver pick up?And the winner is...
Abietal Avelino

It is an interesting move that Avelino was even brought up. The team usually carries 13 pitchers and 10 infielders/outfielders. I do expect Cueto to be activated after one more rehab start.I did hear a rumor that the Giants would consider having Cueto rehab at the ML level with short stints.
I think it's more likely they didn't want to send any of the other pitchers down, and they can't send Bergen down traditionally so they just DFA'd him.

Really? Oh wow, I have been lagging on keeping up with their roster moves.Before that move the Giants were carrying 14 pitchers.
Going back to Travis Bergen, I do find it curious the need to dfa him. He had much better numbers than Andrew Suarez (who has options) and, arguably, has pitched better than Tony Watson right now. He could have been considered the top lefty in the bullpen, outside of the closer. Yeah, I know, Watson's meltdowns (which have been numerous lately) are a blip on the screen and he should (no guarantee) right himself soon. But considering how poorly Suarez has thrown, why not just option him to Sacramento for Avelino?Really? Oh wow, I have been lagging on keeping up with their roster moves.

Kyle Barraclough DFA’d

So much for the Panda at every position but pitcher game . . . Giants might have struck gold with Tommy John returnee Jandel Gustave
The article talks about multiple Giants and starts with Gustave, hence the title. You have to read a bit to get to Sandoval.IDK, maybe you didn't link the right article, but Sandoval is undergoing TJ.

I thought you were getting that Sandoval was going to have TJ surgery from the article I linked. But I just saw this article that talks about his pending surgery: Panda's season to end with Tommy John surgery. Sounds like there is a possibility, though, that Sandoval gets activated for at least one more AB with the Giants this year.Got it... I can't read
