Report: Giants agree to deal with Ruben Tejada

The San Francisco Giants have reportedly shored up their infield depth by agreeing to a minor-league contract with infielder Ruben Tejada pending a physical, according to KNBR Radio's Connor Grossman.

Tejada had spent 2016 with the St. Louis Cardinals before being designated for assignment on May 28. In 23 games this season he hit .176/.225/.235 while spending time at third base, shortstop, and second base as a backup. Given his ability to play multiple infield positions, he'll likely serve as injury depth behind infielders Matt Duffy, Brandon Crawford, and Joe Panik.

The 26-year-old owns a career .254/.328/.322 line with 10 home runs over 603 games with the Cardinals and New York Mets, where he spent the first six seasons of his career.
