The San Francisco Giants have promoted outfielder Jonah Cox directly from Double-A Richmond, bypassing Triple-A entirely. The decision comes as the Giants search for an offensive spark following a slow start to the season. Cox, who has been performing impressively with a.400 batting average, 11 doubles, five triples, and six home runs in 44 games this season, was acquired from the Oakland Athletics in a trade for Ross Stripling. The team hopes his recent success translates to the Major League level as they head into June.
