SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Outfielder Alex Sanchez was claimed off waivers by the San Francisco Giants on Thursday from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Sanchez, the first player suspended for failing a test under major league baseball's new steroids policy, was designated for assignment by the Devil Rays on June 13. He is expected to add depth to the Giants' bench and gives the club some much-needed speed, a talented bunter and left-handed bat.
San Francisco manager Felipe Alou said he isn't worried about Sanchez's positive drug test.
