Giants Promote Sean Hjelle, Activate LaMonte Wade Jr.

The Giants announced a series of roster moves to reporters today, including Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com. Right-hander Sean Hjelle has been recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, while outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. has been activated off the injured list. Sam Long and Mauricio Llovera were both sent to Triple-A to create roster space.

His promotion is something of an Chicago White Sox Jersey early birthday present, as he turns 25 years old tomorrow.

The lingering MLB Draft doubts for Ben Joyce after 105.5 MPH viral pitch

Where does a record-setting arm that may be without true collegiate precedent land in the 2022 MLB Draft? There is plenty of curiosity among the industry. Though Ben Joyce likely will be drafted high, he probably will not be selected within the top few picks. Joyce will be perhaps among the most intriguing prospects in July’s draft, a righty from Tennessee who has gained national attention since throwing a 105.5-mph fastball on Sunday, the fastest recorded pitch in college baseball history.
