Wynns had his contract selected by the Giants on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old will join the Giants with Roberto Perez (shoulder) headed to the 60-day injured list. Wynns should split reps behind the plate with Blake Sabol until Joey Bart (back) is able to return from the IL.

The Giants reassigned Wynns to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wynns missed out on a spot on the Opening Day roster with the Giants opting to begin the season with Joey Bart, Roberto Perez and Blake Sabol as its three catchers. The 32-year-old previously logged 177 plate appearances with San Francisco in 2022, slashing .259/.313/.358 with three home runs and 21 RBI.

Wynns, who was outrighted off the Giants' 40-man roster Jan. 12, will attend MLB spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Though he was moved off the Giants' 40-man roster during the offseason, the four-year MLB veteran didn't elect free agency and ultimately chose to stick around in the organization. He'll likely get the chance to compete for the top backup role behind No. 1 catcher Joey Bart, with fellow non-roster invitee Roberto Perez likely representing his top competition for the gig. Wynns saw action in 66 games for San Francisco in 2022, slashing .259/.313/.358 with three home runs and 21 RBI across 177 plate appearances.

Wynns was designated for assignment by the Giants on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Michael Conforto officially joining the Giants on Friday, Wynns will serve as the team's roster casualty. The 32-year-old backstop is coming off his best season since 2018, slashing .259/.313/.358 through 177 plate appearances in 2022. Wynns also managed to record a 1.004 OPS in Triple-A last season, making it even more likely that he will be scooped up by another team in need of help behind the dish.

Wynns went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Wynns has gone yard in two of his last four games, and he has multiple hits in five of his last eight. The surge has him up to a .264/.318/.365 slash line three homers, 21 RBI, 14 runs scored and seven doubles through 174 plate appearances. The 31-year-old has seen a slight uptick in playing time to go with his strong hitting, which has corresponded with Joey Bart hitting just .182 across 18 games in September.

Wynns went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Wynns' bat has been hotter of late, as he's gone 8-for-17 (.471) with a homer and four RBI in his last six games. The backup catcher has a .248/.307/.336 slash line with two homers, 19 RBI, 12 runs scored and seven doubles through a career-high 60 games this year.

Wynns went 2-for-3 with three RBI in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Wynns ripped an RBI single in the bottom of the second frame before later adding a two-run single with two outs in the sixth inning. The catcher has now gone 3-for-6 with three RBI in two games since returning from a head injury Monday. Wynns is locked into a timeshare with Joey Bart behind the plate.

EDGE Analysis
