McMahon isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

The lefty-hitting McMahon will avoid a matchup with lefty Cristopher Sanchez on Friday. Alan Trejo will start at third base and bat ninth. McMahon has homered in three of his last four games and has scored a run in eight straight outings.

Reetz was designated for assignment by the Giants on Friday.

Reetz will be placed on waivers, but after going 1-for-12 in the big leagues this season, it's unlikely the 28-year-old will be claimed. If he does go unclaimed, Reetz would be expected to remain within the Giants organization.

Black was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Black will make room for the newly signed Drew Pomeranz, exiting the big leagues after four appearances (three starts). During that time, he submitted an 8.79 ERA and a 10:7 K:BB across 14.1 innings.

Pomeranz signed a one-year deal with San Francisco on Friday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Pomeranz opted out of his minor-league contract with the Dodgers in April and has been out of work since. He'll immediately join the Giants' 26-man roster, with Mason Black being optioned and catcher Jakson Reetz getting DFA'd. Pomeranz hasn't pitched in the bigs since 2021 and has dealt with forearm and elbow injuries since. In eight Triple-A appearances this season, Pomeranz has a 6.00 ERA and a 14:1 K:BB across nine innings.

Bae is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Bae will defer to Michael Taylor in center field Friday with lefty Ray Kerr on the mound for Atlanta. The duo have worked in a platoon since Bae's promotion Tuesday, with Bae landing on the strong side.
