Giants optioned OF Grant McCray to Triple-A Sacramento.
McCray and Brett Wisely both get the boot from the roster, so it appears that Luis Matos has won a spot on the bench for the Giants. McCray will likely be up-and-down whenever the Giants need an extra outfielder, although Wisely could be that first name called.
Grant McCray went 2-for-3 with a stolen base on Monday, leading the Giants to an 8-2 win over the Rockies in Cactus League action.
McCray got on-base three times out of the leadoff spot in this one and is up to four thefts on the spring. The 24-year-old speedster hit .202 with five homers and five steals in 37 contests last year for the Giants. There isn’t a clear path to a bench spot in the big leagues right now, but he’s going to make it difficult for San Francisco to ship him out if he keeps hitting in Cactus League games.
Grant McCray went 1-for-3 with a triple and a RBI on Sunday against the Royals.
McCray’s athleticism is so evident in his game. He blazed around the bases on his triple which scored the Giants’ first run and he came around to score on a Brett Wisely single for their second and final run. He hasn’t hit much with just a .678 OPS since being called up, but is a great defender in center field which might keep him in the mix to become a regular beyond this season.
Grant McCracy went 2-for-2 with two walks, three runs scored, and two steals in a win over the Orioles.
McCray has struggled in September, coming into today, hitting just .189 in 11 games, so the effort was certainly nice to see. The 23-year-old now has five steals and five home runs in 26 games on the season, which has demonstrated a modest power/speed combo. He remains simply on deep league radars for fantasy purposes.
