Giants Give Ruf Second Chance After Rough Mets Stint

Darin Ruf struggled after being traded to the Mets, batting under .200 and striking out frequently.
The trade was considered a loss for the Mets as Ruf underperformed and J.D. Davis exceeded expectations.
Ruf has returned to the Giants, the team he had success with in 2021, on a minor league contract.
Ruf hopes to regain his 2021 form and provide the Giants with a much-needed left-handed hitter.
The Mets will still pay most of Ruf's salary despite trading him back to the Giants.
