Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 09:53:59 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO – AJ Pollock has been a free agent three times in his 12-year MLB career – including last offseason — and said that every time, it felt like he had a conversation with Farhan Zaidi.“It just never worked out,” Pollock said about his talks with the Giants’ president of baseball operations. “Just maybe the timing was all messed up, and this was the right time.”A day after he and minor-league utilityman Mark Mathias were acquired from Seattle for a player to be named later or cash, Pollock was in the lineup Tuesday night, hitting ninth and playing left field, as the Giants activated him off of the 10-day injured list and assigned rookie infielder Marco Luciano to Triple-A Sacramento.Pollack had been dealing with a minor left hamstring strain but said Tuesday afternoon that he was ready to play. Luciano played four games for the Giants from last Wednesday to Sunday and had three hits and a walk in 12 plate appearances. Luciano, who is considered the Giants’ seco...

Astros’ Framber Valdez pitching no-hitter through 6 innings against Guardians

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 09:53:59 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s Framber Valdez has not allowed a hit through six innings against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. Valdez retired the first 12 batters with six strikeouts before Oscar Gonzalez walked to open the fifth. But Valdez still faced the minimum in that inning thanks to a double play. Gabriel Arias grounded out to start the sixth before a lineout by Myles Straw. Cam Gallagher then grounded out to end the sixth. The left-hander has thrown 66 pitches with 44 strikes. The Astros lead 2-0 after a two-run single by Kyle Tucker in the third. The strong start comes after he allowed eight hits and six runs — both season highs — in 3 2/3 innings of a 13-5 loss to Texas in his last outing.Valdez became the ace of Houston’s staff this season after Justin Verlander signed with the Mets. But Verlander was sent back to the Astros in a blockbuster trade-deadline deal Tuesday, giving Houston a powerful 1-2 punch.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLBSource
