Giants claimed RHP Joel Kuhnel off waivers from the Brewers.

The 31-year-old right-hander had a 6.52 ERA in 9 2/3 innings with the Brewers and a 4.21 ERA in 25 2/3 innings with the Athletics earlier this year. He managed a 1.64 ERA working out of Triple-A Nashville’s pen in 11 appearances there. It seems likely he’ll get another major league shot in San Francisco, though he’s by no means pitched well enough in the bigs to say for sure that he’ll stick.
