SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants have claimed outfielder Aaron Altherr off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies.
The 28-year-old Altherr has played in 332 games over parts of six seasons and is a career .222 hitter. He batted .272 and hit 19 homers in 107 games in 2017, his best season.
Altherr hit .034 (1-for-29) in 22 games with the Phillies this season. He was out of minor league options.
The Giants designated right-handed pitcher Andrew Moore for assignment in a corresponding move Saturday.
