"The 32-year-old had solid results with San Francisco in his first season as a full-time reliever, posting a 3.76 ERA and 3.97 FIP over 38 1/3 innings. Still, the Giants non-tendered Lucchesi, who projected to make $2 million in arbitration."
"San Francisco's addition of Lucchesi, a Newark native, comes amidst a string of injuries to relievers in camp. As things stand, Matt Gage is the only healthy left-handed reliever on the 40-man roster."
"Left-hander Reiver Sanmartin will miss up to three months after sustaining a high-grade strain of his right hip flexor during Team Colombia's exhibition against the Pittsburgh Pirates, while right-hander Joel Peguero re-injured his left hamstring and suffered a Grade 2 strain that will keep him off the Opening Day roster."
The San Francisco Giants reunited with left-hander Joey Lucchesi on a minor league contract worth $1.55 million with up to $300,000 in incentives and an invitation to major league spring training. Lucchesi, 32, previously pitched for the Giants as a full-time reliever, recording a 3.76 ERA over 38 1/3 innings before being non-tendered. The signing addresses significant roster depth issues, as multiple relievers face injuries. Matt Gage remains the only healthy left-handed reliever on the 40-man roster. Reiver Sanmartin will miss up to three months with a hip flexor strain, Sam Hentges is recovering from shoulder surgery, and Joel Peguero suffered a hamstring strain. The Giants also signed relievers Jason Foley and Rowan Wick to major league deals, though neither will be available for Opening Day.
