Giants' Jairo Pomares: Gets bump to High-A

The Giants promoted Pomares from Low-A San Jose to High-A Eugene on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old outfielder earned the call-up after a torrid first half of August -- he posted a 1.188 OPS over 13 games -- boosted his season-long slash line at San Jose to .372/.429/.693 across 224 plate appearances. Pomares' growth as a power hitter has been perhaps the most encouraging development about his stellar campaign, as he was mostly touted for his advanced hit tool and on-base skills heading into 2021.
