Bivens was claimed off waivers from San Francisco last Saturday, and he'll now be called upon to provide bullpen depth whiel Craig Kimbrel (bereavement) is away from the team. Bivens will almost certainly be limited to low-leverage work after allowing eight earned runs in just five major-league innings this season.

Bivens has been assigned to Triple-A Omaha. He was designated for assignment by San Francisco earlier in the week after appearing in four games out of the bullpen. Across 81 big-league appearances from 2023-2024 -- his only prior MLB experience -- Bivens posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 98:36 K:BB across 129.2 innings.

The Giants designated Bivens for assignment Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
