SF Giants option Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento, activate Verlander from paternity list
Briefly

The San Francisco Giants have optioned second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento as he struggles with his performance since returning from injury. Fitzgerald appeared in 57 games this season, but his batting average since mid-May has been subpar, hitting .186 with no home runs. Despite showing defensive promise, the Giants hope this move will allow Fitzgerald to regain his confidence and find the hitting form he showcased last season. In the interim, the team will rely on Christian Koss and Brett Wisely to fill the second-base role.
