Impact Wisely made the Opening Day roster but stuck around for just a single game. He appeared as a defensive replacement Thursday but now loses his spot to Bryce Johnson.

Brett Wisely - Bumped from roster Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
Bryce Johnson - Contract selected Johnson's contract was selected by the Giants on Saturday.
Impact Johnson generated some buzz this spring by going 12-for-12 on the basepaths in the Cactus League and appeared to be trending towards a roster spot, but he ended up missing out. He didn't have to wait long, however, as the Giants optioned Brett Wisely to clear a roster spot after just one game. Johnson managed a below-average batting line (97 wRC+) as a 26-year-old in Triple-A last year, and the fact that the Giants kept him off the Opening Day roster suggests they're not particularly invested in him, but his wheels could give him fantasy relevance if he earns enough playing time.

Gary Sánchez - Inks minor-league deal with Giants Sanchez signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sanchez will first report to the team's spring training complex in Arizona before eventually being assigned to a minor-league affiliate. The catcher will have the ability to opt out of his contract if he's not promoted to the majors by May 1. Sanchez has managed a lowly .195/.287/.394 batting line over the last three seasons, although he has hit 49 homers during that span. The Giants currently have Joey Bart and Robert Perez handling catching duties, with Blake Sabol operating as a third catcher/utility player.

Thairo Estrada - Two hits, steal in loss Estrada went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Yankees.
Impact The Giants' offense was rather lackluster, but Estrada was a bright spot as the only San Francisco batter to get aboard multiple times. The 27-year-old hit .282 with eight RBI and two steals over 14 spring games. He was in the No. 6 spot in the order Thursday, and he should see regular time at second base with the occasional move to shortstop when Brandon Crawford needs a rest. Estrada posted 21 steals on 27 attempts while slashing .260/.322/.400 over 140 contests a year ago.
