The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder Bryce Johnson (concussion) from the seven-day concussion injured list on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento. Johnson played in two minor-league rehab games over the weekend and is now ready to return to action on the farm after being placed on the injured list on April 14. The 27-year-old will return to Sacramento now that Austin Slater is also back from the injured list. Johnson had only played in 10 games before suffering a concussion, going 3-for-20 (.150) with a home run, one RBI and two runs scored for the Gigantes. He figures to stay in the minor leagues until San Francisco has another need in the outfield.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Bryce Johnson has a great shot at making the Opening Day roster, according to Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi. The 27-year-old has looked excellent this spring and earned a spot on this team. He's hitting .361 with a league-leading 11 steals in 12 games this spring. Johnson only played in 11 games with the Giants last season. However, he stole 31 bases in 94 games Triple-A Sacramento in 2022. His speed is going to be his bigger asset, which gives him appeal in deep mixed leagues and NL-only formats.
