If he gets into a game, it\u2019d be his first big league appearance in three years. He has tallied just over 500 MLB plate appearances between four teams. He\u2019s a .209\/.281\/.343 career hitter. His overall Triple-A track record is a bit better, though that hasn\u2019t been the case this year. Alc\u00e1ntara has yet to hit his first home run of the season and is batting .206\/.319\/.252 across 256 trips to the plate with Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s likely this is a brief call for Alc\u00e1ntara. Shayna Rubin of The San Francisco Chronicle <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShaynaRubin\/status\/1940927716494397796\" rel=\"nofollow\">reports<\/a> that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/fitzgty01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-07-03_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tyler Fitzgerald<\/a> has experienced minor back soreness, leading the Giants to look for short-term insurance on the infield. Fitzgerald is in tonight\u2019s starting lineup against Arizona righty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/pfaadbr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-07-03_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brandon Pfaadt<\/a>, but it appears they want Alc\u00e1ntara on hand in case Fitzgerald needs to come out of the game. Alc\u00e1ntara is out of options, so the Giants would need to run him through waivers once they decide to take him off the big league roster.<\/p>\n<p>The sequence squeezes Porter off the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old catcher had made five appearances in mid-June, going 1-7 with a walk. He backed up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/k\/kniznan01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-07-03_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andrew Knizner<\/a> for a week while\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bailepa01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-07-03_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Patrick Bailey<\/a> was injured and was optioned back out once Bailey returned. Porter has hit .222\/.354\/.310 in 48 Triple-A games this year. He\u2019s likely to land on the waiver wire in the next few days and could elect free agency if he goes unclaimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Giants selected infielder\u00a0Sergio Alc\u00e1ntara onto the roster for tonight\u2019s series finale in Arizona.
