Giants to Promote Drew Cavanaugh After Stellar Triple-A Play
The San Francisco Giants announced on Friday that they selected the contract of catching prospect Drew Cavanaugh from Triple-A Sacramento after they placed catcher Daniel Susac (back) on the 10-day injured list with a lower-back strain. Cavanaugh, who is not listed as one of the team's top-30 prospects per MLB Pipeline, gets his first call to the big leagues after hitting a combined .311/.449/.550 with a .999 OPS, nine home runs, 34 RBI, 49 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 54 games across 227 plate appearances with Sacramento and Double-A Richmond this year. Cavanaugh is making his big-league debut in Friday's series opener against the visiting Atlanta Braves and right-hander Reynaldo Lopez, doing the catching and batting eighth for the Gigantes. For at least the next 10 days, Cavanaugh will share catching duties in the Bay Area with veteran Eric Haase. The 24-year-old former 17th-round selection in 2023 out of Florida Southern College should only be a consideration for a waiver-wire pickup in deep two-catcher formats.
