The Giants released veteran first baseman Jake Lamb from his minor league deal to promote top prospect Bryce Eldridge to Triple-A Sacramento. Lamb, 34, had a .240/.352/.353 line in 176 plate appearances this season, while Eldridge, a 20-year-old first-round pick, excelled in Double-A with a .280/.350/.512 line after recovering from a wrist injury. The Giants, struggling with the worst first base production among contenders, are considering calling up Eldridge to the MLB if he performs well in Triple-A.
