The San Francisco Giants are letting teams know that outfielder Nate Schierholtz is available, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports. Schierholtz could be the “odd-man” out when Andres Torres returns from his Achilles injury.

Schierholtz was a trade candidate late in Spring Training when the team had an abundance of outfielders in addition to prized prospect Brandon Belt.  A late injury to Cody Ross prevented the possibility of a trade.

Through 17 games this season, Schierholtz is hitting .226/.226/.387 with one home run and three RBIs.
