Giants Claim Brett Harris Off Red Sox Waivers

Overview

• The Giants confirmed Thursday that they claimed 28-year-old infielder Brett Harris from the Boston Red Sox and immediately optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento.
• Harris was drafted in 2021, made his big-league debut in 2024, and has spent most of 2026 in Triple-A Worcester where he hit .293 with eight homers, 53 RBIs and a .864 OPS in 259 at-bats.
• San Francisco transferred right-hander Keaton Winn to the 60-day injured list after he left play on Aug. 16 with right elbow neuritis, effectively ending his chances to return this season.
• Reports disagree on how many major-league plate appearances Harris has this year, with outlets citing only a handful of at-bats, which underscores his profile as a depth/evaluation pickup rather than an established big-league regular.
• With the Giants 58-83 and out of playoff contention, the move is primarily evaluative and gives the club roster flexibility while offering Harris a clear path to earn a late-season major-league look.
