While Bruce Bochy practically considers Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum family, Lincecum's roster spot was filled by a player who is an actual member of Bochy's family on Monday.
As San Francisco transferred Lincecum to the 60-day disabled list, it recalled reliever, Brett Bochy, the manager's 28-year-old son who was a September call-up last year as well.
"I'm very proud of him," Bochy said of his son. "He had another nice year in Sacramento. It's special, it is. I talked about it last year a lot and I don't want to overdo that. But it's special to have him up here. This helps make up for all those months you miss."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Bochy, who made three relief appearances for the Giants last season, had a solid season for Triple-A Sacramento this season, holding a 6-1 record with a 2.95 ERA in 58 innings over 43 games.
Despite a home run spoiling his major-league debut on Sept. 13, 2014, Bochy displayed potential in the limited period he was with the Giants last season.
The home run remains the only major-league hit he has surrendered, and he struck out two batters in a perfect inning in his most recent big-league outing on Sept. 28 of last year.
