Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Yusmeiro Petit is expected to accept the Giants' minor league assignment rather than declaring free agency.

Petit was awful this spring but had a good year at Triple-A Fresno last season and offers some organizational depth. It would take a rash of injuries for him to get a shot in the big league rotation, though.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Giants sent RHP Yusmeiro Petit outright to Triple-A Fresno.

Petit was placed on waivers earlier this week, so he can decline the assignment and become a free agent. The 28-year-old appeared briefly with the Giants last year, but has spent the majority of the past three seasons in the minors.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Yusmeiro Petit allowed two earned runs in 4 2/3 innings Sunday in a spot start against the Padres.

The right-hander was filling in for Tim Lincecum, who was scratched after the Giants clinched the National League West on Saturday night. Petit gave up seven hits and walked four batters as the Giants fell 6-4.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Yusmeiro Petit will get a spot start Sunday against the Padres.

The Giants clinched the division Saturday and want to give the members of their rotation some extra rest. Petit hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2009 and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Giants purchased the contract of RHP Yusmeiro Petit from Triple-A Fresno.

The Giants have yet to announce a corresponding roster move. Petit, 27, posted a 3.46 ERA and 153/36 K/BB ratio over 166 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level this year. The former Mets' farmhand will provide bullpen depth down the stretch.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

The Giants plan to purchase the contract of right-hander Yusmeiro Petit from Triple-A Fresno.

Petit, now 27, hasn't appeared in the majors since 2009 as a member of the Diamondbacks. He's expected to serve as an extra arm out of the bullpen.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Yusmeiro Petit was blasted for six runs on seven hits and two walks over just 3 1/3 innings Wednesday against the Athletics.

He served up a trio of longballs. The Giants gave the ball to Petit today in place of Barry Zito because they wanted to see if he could fill in as a starter at some point this season if needed. It's safe to say they didn't get the answer they were hoping for. He'll probably start the year at Triple-A.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Yusmeiro Petit will start Wednesday in Barry Zito's place, and Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com says the Giants are "interested to see if (he) is a viable rotation candidate."

We assume he means a candidate at some point down the road if a starter is needed. Zito, who will pitch in a minor league game while he works on his mechanics, has really struggled this spring, but it's doubtful the Giants are considering replacing him with Petit, who hasn't appeared in the majors in the last two years. It does sound like he could be the "No. 6 starter," though, while Eric Surkamp is out.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Giants signed RHP Yusmeiro Petit to a minor league contract.

We're assuming the deal includes a spring training invite. Petit, 28, had a 4.17 ERA and 28/5 K/BB ratio over 36 2/3 innings in the Mexican League last season. The former Mets farmhand hasn't pitched in the majors since 2009 with the Diamondbacks.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Yusmeiro Petit has cleared up his visa issue and is on his way to Mariners camp.

Petit will either arrive Tuesday or Wednesday and should have no trouble catching up with the other pitchers in Mariners camp. The 26-year-old righty is likely to open the 2011 regular season at Triple-A Tacoma.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Yusmeiro Petit is currently delayed from reporting to spring training due to visa issues in his native Venezuela.

The same exact thing happened with Petit last spring. The 26-year-old right-hander spent all of last season with Triple-A Tacoma, posting a 4.85 ERA and 55/16 K/BB ratio over 59 1/3 innings. He was re-signed to a minor league deal in November.

Mariners re-signed RHP Yusmeiro Petit to a minor league contract.

Petit, 26, had a 4.85 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 59 1/3 innings this past year at the Triple-A level. It's surprising that he wasn't brought up to the big leagues in 2010 and he should make it up in 2011.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Mariners re-signed RHP Yusmeiro Petit to a minor league contract.

Seattle had released Petit 10 days ago and he was apparently unable to get a better offer than this. Before his release, he had given up two runs in 4 2/3 spring innings, certainly not the worst spring numbers anyone put up, but nothing to get excited about.

Yusmeiro Petit - R - Giants

Mariners released RHP Yusmeiro Petit.

Petit, who was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks in November, allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings this spring. The 24-year-old right-hander was 3-10 with a 5.82 ERA in 23 appearances (17 starts) with the Arizona last season. With his extreme flyball tendencies, he'll continue to be nothing more than back-of-the-rotation filler at best.
