The San Francisco Giants claimed right-hander Camilo Doval off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates, per MLB Trade Rumors. Pittsburgh had designated Doval for assignment earlier this week.
To open a 40-man roster spot, the Giants transferred righty Blade Tidwell to the 60-day injured list. Tidwell was recommended for UCL surgery this week, per MLB Trade Rumors.
McCovey Chronicles noted that the Giants previously traded Doval to the New York Yankees at last year's trade deadline in exchange for Jesus Rodriguez, Parks Harber, Trystan Vrieling, and Carlos De La Rosa. The claim marks a return to San Francisco for the pitcher.
