Tyler Fitzgerald continues his strong run in Triple-A, hitting a home run and a triple down in Las Vegas, while teammate Wade Meckler also kept hitting with a double of his own. Speaking of hot steaks, P.J. Hilson continued his run in August with a triple.
Player Promotion Notes:
There was a rare Sunday promotion today (usually, that news comes out on Monday and Tuesday), as the Giants promoted Onil Perez to High-A after his strong run in San Jose, where he’s hitting .300/.364/.403 after 62 games, with 12 doubles, four triples, and two home runs. Perez joins a High-A roster with four other catchers in Adrian Sugastey, Zach Morgan, Thomas Gavello, Brett Auerbach, though the latter two play a lot of other positions. Maybe we’ll see a move regarding one of the others, though. Moving up to San Jose is catcher Jack Payton. The Giants 11th round pick in 2023 went 10-for-25 (.400) in nine games in Arizona, with two doubles, and two walks against seven strikeouts.
