The Giants have selected right-hander Yunior Marte from Double-A Richmond, the team announced. Marte will make his major league debut on Saturday and start the second game of a doubleheader against the Diamondbacks. To make room for Marte, the Giants optioned lefty Seth Lonsway to Triple-A Sacramento and transferred infielder Casey Schmitt to the 60-day injured list.
Marte, not to be confused with the Yunior Marté who pitched for the Giants in 2022, joined the organization in a trade last summer. Shortly before the July 31 deadline, the Giants sent outfielder Mike Yastrzemski to the Royals for Marte. The 23-year-old now ranks as one of the Giants’ 30 best prospects at FanGraphs (No. 20), MLB Pipeline (No. 24) and Baseball America (No. 27).
