The Giants announced that catcher re-signed on a minor league contract. San Francisco had designated him for a signment when they called up to add infield depth as they navigated a few injuries on the dirt. Porter evidently cleared waivers, refused an outright a signment, then signed a new contract. Porter, who turns 30 later this week, signed a minor league Kris Bryant Jersey deal early in the offseason. He has spent the bulk of the season at Triple-A Sacramento but was called up for a week in June while was sidelined by a neck strain. The Giants optioned Porter as soon as Bailey returned but had kept him on the 40-man roster until last weeks DFA. The righty-hitting Porter went 1-7 with a walk in four MLB games. Those were his first appearances since he played in 11 games for the Royals two years ago. Porter has spent parts of four seasons in Triple-A. Hes a .249/.365/.396 hitter with 29 homers in more than 1000 career plate appearances at that level. That includes a .222/.354/.310 slash over 193 trips to the dish with Sacramento this year. Bailey and are the only catchers on the 40-man roster. has been on the 60-day injured list all season. Bailey and Knizner will continue as Bob Melvins catching duo for the time being. An injury to either player would nece sitate selecting another backstop onto the 40-man. Porter would likely be the first man up in that scenario. and are both on the Triple-A injured list.
