Giants' Luis Alexander Basabe: Reinstated from minor-league IL

The Giants assigned Basabe (wrist) to Double-A Richmond on Wednesday after he concluded his rehab assignment with the team's rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate. The outfielder has gone 2-for-9 with a home run and two RBI through his first two games with Richmond.

Basabe was sidelined for nearly four months with a sprained left wrist before he began a rehab assignment in the ACL on July 2. Though Basabe was initially expected to report to Triple-A Sacramento coming out of spring training, the wrist injury prompted the Giants to keep him at Richmond once his rehab assignment concluded. He could move up to Triple-A in short order with a few good performances at Double-A.
