Yeah, his numbers have looked good recently but his season still looks better, even with the poor recent streak, than about 90% of any other pitcher with Sacramento.
I wonder why Gonzalez is back so quickly.
By the way, BBRef shows he'll be a free agent this offseason. I guess he's still auditioning, but its more than just the Giants.
Evan Longoria said he’s doing well. He’ll be off today and test hamstring tomorrow. “I’m going to try and play through it,” he said.
He's about the only hitter on this team who should play through minor injuries.
Neither had been playing catcher much in AAA. That's been mainly handled by Knapp and Pereda. What happened to that guy claimed from the Mets, by the way? He's not on any minor league roster in the Giants' org.

Its September 1st, no one has to be sent down. In fact, the Giants can add another player. I would guess it will Yunior Marte or Thomas Szapucki. If they dfa someone else, then maybe its Michael Stryffeler or even Cole Waites or RJ Dabovich.

Unless Bermudez was dfa'd a couple days ago, I doubt he's been outrighted already.
I am very OK with that. VR is likely going to be a part of this team next year, even if only as a bench piece. Let’s see as much of him as possible.
The story at MLBTR mentioned that issue and confirmed that he had, in fact, already cleared waivers. He was DFA’d without anyone knowing.
