Giants' Josh Osich: Won't return until rosters expand Sept. 1

Osich (forearm) is rehabbing at Triple-A Sacramento and will not be brought up until rosters expand on Sept. 1, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

This move comes as no surprise considering the Giants are currently carrying nine relievers. Osich has reportedly been working on developing his change-up, something that could help limit his alarmingly high home run rate (1.82 HR/9), which is likely linked to his heavy use of the fastball (88.2% fastballs this season).
