The Giants acquired Molina from Atlanta on Sunday in exchange for right-hander Tyler Mahle, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Molina has appeared in three games out of the Atlanta bullpen this season, surrendering three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two batters over five innings. The right-hander worked as a starter in nine of his 18 appearances at Triple-A Gwinnett, but he had been serving as a reliever following his demotion to the minors July 4 and submitted a 1.04 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB in 8.2 innings over his last five appearances. Molina will likely report to Triple-A Sacramento with his new organization but should find his way into the San Francisco bullpen at some point before the end of the season.

Rockies' Anthony Molina: Secures win in relief Sunday
Rotowire
Molina (1-1) was the pitcher of record in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks after striking out two while giving up one hit and one walk over a scoreless inning of relief.
The Rockies called Molina up from Triple-A Albuquerque to make a start Aug. 5 versus the Blue Jays, but after surrendering seven earned runs on nine hits and one walk over five innings in that outing, he was moved to the bullpen. After Molina tossed 2.1 innings in relief in Thursday's series opener, the Rockies turned to him again Sunday in the top of the seventh inning while Arizona was up 4-1. Molina came through with a clean frame, then ended up picking up the win after the Rockies put up four runs in the bottom of the inning.

Rockies' Anthony Molina: Entering rotation Tuesday
Rotowire
The Rockies will recall Molina from Triple-A Albuquerque and will have him start Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Kyle Freeland has been dealing with a sinus infection and will be pushed back from Tuesday to make his next start in Wednesday, but Colorado already had an existing opening in its rotation for the series with the Blue Jays after Antonio Senzatela (finger) was placed on the injured list Saturday. Molina will be called upon to take over Senzatela's spot for what will be his second MLB start and his first of the 2025 season. Since being optioned to Triple-A on June 27, Molina has been one of Albuquerque's most effective starters, as he's turned in a 3.06 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB in 17.2 innings over four outings. Molina could be in line for multiple turns through the Colorado rotation until the Rockies get one of Senzatela or German Marquez (biceps) back from the IL.
