Okert was recalled by the Giants on Tuesday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants shook up their bullpen Tuesday with a number of moves, including the promotion of Okert from Triple-A Sacramento. The 24-year-old left-hander has never pitched at the major league level, but he is coming off a decent 2015 campaign at Triple-A where he worked a 3.82 ERA with 69 strikeouts in 61.1 innings of work. He'll serve as another left-handed arm out of the Giants' bullpen, but he'll likely be used in lower-leverage situations for the time being.
