SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Giants acquired veteran infielder Marco Scutaro from the Colorado Rockies in a trade for minor league infielder Charlie Culberson on Friday night.
Scutaro, who will bolster the infield for the Giants, was hitting .271 with four home runs and 30 RBIs in 95 games for the Rockies.
Scutaro joins his sixth major league team. He made his major league debut with the New York Mets in 2002.
Culberson was hitting .236 with 10 home runs and 53 RBIs in his first year at Triple-A. He appeared in six games with the Giants earlier in the year, hitting .136 with one RBI.
