In an exhilarating start to the 2024 WBSC Premier12 tournament, Team Puerto Rico upset powerhouse Team USA with a 1-0 victory, showcasing some impressive contributions from San Francisco Giants prospects Sabin Ceballos and Raymond Burgos.
The Giants passed first baseman Trenton Brooks and lefty Raymond Burgos through waivers unclaimed, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. Both were designated for assignment over the weekend, and both have now been assigned outright to Triple-A Sacramento.
And of course, call up Hayden Birdsong. We’ve known since Tuesday afternoon that the San Francisco Giants had something special in store for Wednesday night: the Major League debut of arguably their best pitching prospect, right-hander Hayden Birdsong, who was drafted in the sixth round just two years ago.
