Blue Jays acquire INF Tyler Fitzgerald from Giants

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from the San Francisco Giants on Saturday for cash considerations.

Fitzgerald was designated for assignment on Monday after opening the season at Triple-A Sacramento. The Giants signed infielder Luis Arraez in the offseason, pushing Fitzgerald down on the infield depth chart.

The Blue Jays optioned Fitzgerald to Triple-A Buffalo.

Fitzgerald, 28, did not have a hit in 12 at-bats at Sacramento to start the season. In parts of three seasons with the Giants, he batted .252 with 21 home runs and 53 RBIs in 178 games. He was designated for assignment this week after the Giants acquired reliever Dylan Smith from the Detroit Tigers.
