Eric Hacker yielded three runs over six innings in a loss to the Padres on Friday night.

Hacker pitched quite well in his first major league start, allowing eight hits while walking two and striking out seven. He was only up for a spot-start, but the quality outing may put him in consideration for another look at some point down the line. Look for him to be optioned back to the minor leagues on Saturday, though.

Giants purchased the contract of RHP Eric Hacker from Triple-A Fresno.

As expected, Hacker will make a spot start Friday night against the Padres. He's only up because the Giants played a doubleheader against the Mets earlier in the week, so his stay should be brief. Feel free to ignore in fantasy leagues.

Eric Hacker will be promoted from Triple-A Fresno for a spot start Friday against the Padres.

Hacker has registered a 4-0 record, 2.19 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 24 2/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level. The 29-year-old right-hander can boast only 8 1/3 innings of major league experience, however, and should be avoided in most fantasy leagues even against the light-hitting Friars.
