Ready for team debut The Giants reinstated Sanmartin (hip) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact A waiver pickup from the Reds back in November, Sanmartin ended up having his Giants debut delayed several months after suffering a significant right hip flexor strain back in spring training. The 30-year-old lefty was cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment in mid-May and compiled a 2.79 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB across 9.2 innings over nine appearances between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Triple-A Sacramento to convince the Giants he was ready to join the big-league bullpen. He's likely to be deployed in middle relief initially.

Impact Sanmartin opened the season on the shelf at Triple-A while he completed his recovery from his July 7, 2023 Tommy John surgery. Just over 12 months after surgery, he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, where he made three appearances before being added back to the Triple-A roster. Sanmartin previously made 59 appearances (six starts) at the big-league level with the Reds from 2021 through 2023 but will likely need to show better results at Triple-A before he gets another look in the majors.
