Giants claimed RHP Camilo Doval off waivers from the Pirates.

We’d have thought the Giants might be the least likely of the other 29 MLB teams to put in a claim on Doval, but here we are. Doval has collected 107 of his 109 career saves for the Giants and went to an All-Star Game in 2023 before being sent to the Yankees prior to the 2025 trade deadline. He returns to San Francisco having posted a 4.30 ERA and a 62/32 K/BB in 58 2/3 innings this season. The Giants will be able to keep him in 2027, but it’ll likely mean paying him $6 million-$7 million. That’s not a terrible roll of the dice, since his stuff is still just fine. However, he’s at -0.6 bWAR and 0.8 fWAR over the last three years combined.
