SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Marco Scutaro arrived at the Giants’ clubhouse two hours before gametime Saturday and was immediately put in the lineup at third base and batting seventh.
The NL West leaders also activated Aubrey Huff from the disabled list before the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
To make room on the roster, San Francisco put infielder Pablo Sandoval on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain and designated infielder Emmanuel Burriss for assignment.
Scutaro was obtained by the Giants during Friday night’s 5-3 loss to the Dodgers in a trade that sent minor league infielder Charlie Culberson to the Colorado Rockies.
