Two hits in debut Villar went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Villar contributed a leadoff double in the second inning and an RBI single in the third for a moderately successful major-league debut. The 25-year-old's stay on the Giants' roster could be short -- he's up to serve as infield depth, but Brandon Crawford (knee) is close to a return from the 10-day injured list. Villar has slashed .284/.409/.633 with 21 home runs, 62 RBI, 53 runs scored and 15 doubles in 66 games for Triple-A Sacramento prior to his call-up, so there's reason to think Monday won't be the extent of his big-league contributions in 2022.

Called up by Giants Villar's contract was purchased from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Impact The Giants are down a couple infielders at the moment, so they decided to give Villar a shot to show what he can do at the top level. Villar is not a heralded prospect, but he certainly earned a call-up by posting a 1.043 OPS over 66 games with Sacramento. He will not have to wait to make his big-league debut, as he will man the keystone and hit seventh in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
