How a contract extension for Brandon Crawford moved from impossible to obvious for the Giants One year ago, the question was which shortstop would the Giants sign to replace Brandon Crawford. It ended up being Crawford himself.
Camilo Doval - Optioned to Triple-A Doval was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
Impact Doval was called up Tuesday, and he allowed a hit and no walks while striking out four in two scoreless innings Thursday against the Rockies. He's recorded a 5.33 ERA in 25.1 relief innings in the minors and will head back to Triple-A after Anthony DeSclafani (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.
