Triggs was designated for assignment by the Giants on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Triggs was working at the Giants' alternate training site over the past several days, but he'll now be removed from the 40-man roster. The right-hander made one relief appearance in the majors this year, allowing three runs on no hits and three walks while recording just one out.

Triggs was optioned to the Giants' alternate training site Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Triggs was recalled by the Giants on Sunday and made a relief appearance against the Rangers. He struggled mightily with control as he allowed three runs on no hits and three walks while striking out zero and recording one out. As a result, he was charged with the loss and will also lose his 30-man roster spot. The 31-year-old will remain on the taxi squad for the team's upcoming series in Colorado. Left-hander Andrew Suarez was recalled from the alternate training site in a corresponding move.

Triggs had his contract selected by the Giants on Sunday, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old will join the 40-man and active rosters with Drew Smyly (finger) heading to the injured list. Triggs last appeared in the majors with Oakland in 2018 and had a 5.23 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in nine starts, though he should work out of the bullpen with San Francisco.

Triggs made the Giants' 60-man roster.

EDGE Analysis

He is not on the 40-man roster but will be available to provide bullpen depth this season. The 31-year-old righty had a lost 2019 season due to a hip injury. Triggs had a 5.23 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 41.1 innings (nine starts) for the A's in 2018.

Triggs (hip) is listed as an available relief option for Thursday's Cactus League game against the Indians, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Triggs looks to be fully healthy again after he didn't pitch from mid-April onward last season due to a strained hip. The right-hander linked up with the Giants on a minor-league deal last September and has looked sharp through his first three Cactus League appearances, tossing three perfect frames while striking out four. Though he has prior MLB starting experience from his time with the Athletics, Triggs appears set to work exclusively out of the bullpen for San Francisco in 2020. If he's unable to win a relief job with the big club during camp, Triggs will likely report to Triple-A Sacramento to begin the season.

Triggs (hip) signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Thursday, Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal likely covers 2020 as well, as Triggs is still recovering from a hip injury that has kept him on the shelf since mid-April. Across three big-league seasons with the Athletics (2016-18), the 30-year-old right-hander owns a career 4.53 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 148:50 K:BB in 163 innings (45 appearances, 27 starts).

Triggs (hip) was released by the Athletics on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Triggs hasn't pitched since April due to a hip injury, so he'll need to prove his health before he gets a shot elsewhere.

Triggs (hip) was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears room on the 40-man roster for Tanner Roark, acquired in a trade from the Reds in a corresponding move. Triggs hasn't pitched since mid-April due to a strained hip. Between the injury, his age (30) and his mediocre 4.53 career ERA, he's not particularly likely to be claimed off waivers.

Triggs (hip), who's been sidelined at Triple-A Las Vegas since April 12, remains without a timetable for return, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was expected to convert back to a relief role in the minors this season, but he logged all of 2.2 innings over three appearances with the Aviators before the injury bug struck. Triggs would have also potentially served as a versatile option in a pinch at the major-league level this season, considering he logged 45 appearances (27 starts) across parts of three campaigns with the Athletics from 2016-2018.

Triggs was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Las Vegas on April 12 due to a strained hip, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Triggs logged 27 starts with Oakland between 2016 and 2018 and often demonstrated some intriguing underlying skills, but health issues seem to have caught up with him. While his latest setback on the injury front doesn't sound particularly severe, Triggs was working in a relief role prior to getting hurt and seems to rank low in the pecking order among the organization's starting options.
