The San Francisco Giants called up infielder Eddys Leonard from AAA Sacramento on August 4, 2026. Leonard, a former Los Angeles Dodgers prospect, joined the Giants as a Minor League free agent just two weeks ago. After struggling with the River Cats, hitting 4-for-28, he previously posted a strong.287 average with 12 home runs at the Brewers' AAA affiliate. The Giants had open roster spots after trade deadline moves and opted to give Leonard an opportunity as they are short on outfield depth, adjusting his role from infielder at AAA. His first MLB appearance is anticipated to be in the outfield due to the team's current roster configuration.
