The Twins traded Eduardo Nunez to the Giants after Thursday night’s win against the Orioles:

The move adds some much-needed depth to San Francisco’s injury-plagued infield.

Second baseman Joe Panik was activated off the disabled list prior to the Giants’ game against Washington on Thursday, while third baseman Matt Duffy remains out with a strained left Achilles. Backup infielder Ehire Adrianza has also been sidelined since mid-April with a foot injury.

It looks like the Giants expect Nunez to be their utility infielder when the rest of the team is healthy again. That’s pretty much been his role until this season.

Adalberto Mejia goes to the Twins. He should fit right in with an organization that values pitchers who limit walks. This should be a trade that helps both teams.
