Giants' Camilo Doval: Protected from Rule 5 draft

Doval's contract was purchased by the Giants on Friday.

A 23-year-old relief pitching prospect, Doval spent 2019 at High-A and was at the alternate training site this past summer. He misses a lot of bats but needs to refine his command. It's possible he could debut in the majors in the second half of 2021 or in early 2022.
