Per beat reporter Susan Slusser, the San Francisco Giants are expected to call up outfielder Turner Hill and return center fielder Jonah Cox to the roster. The report does not specify a game or a formal club announcement — both moves are attributed to Slusser's sourcing.

The headline detail is Turner Hill's 26-game hitting streak, which he would reportedly carry into his big-league promotion. That kind of sustained minor-league production is the sort of thing that tends to accelerate a front office's timeline, though the report does not offer a causal explanation for the timing.

Cox's return is described simply as a return — no injury context, roster mechanism, or timetable is included in the report.

What remains unconfirmed

Neither the Giants nor MLB have issued a formal roster transaction as of this report. The specific roster moves required to create space — and whether either player is joining the active roster or a different roster designation — are not detailed in Slusser's post. Both moves should be treated as reported expectations, not completed transactions.
