Culberson traded for Scutaro; correspnding moves

The Giants traded 2B Charlie Culberson (playing in Fresno) Friday night to Colorado for INF Marco Scutaro.

This leaves the 40-man roster in tact.

Giants moves: in addition to adding Scutaro (who will wear #10), the team also activated 1B/OF Aubrey Huff. The team placed 3B Pablo Sandovalo on the DL and designated for assignment INF Emmanuel Burriss.

The Giants have 10 days to either trade or release Burriss. He can also accept a minor league assignment or free agency.

The Grizzlies meanwhile activated OF Francisco Peguero from the DL to take Culberson's spot.

Culberson was pulled from the game in the bottom of the 4th for a pinch hitter.

According to the Rockies website, Culberson will report to AAA Colorado Springs. Coincidentally, that is where Fresno starts a series tonight. No word if Culberson still flew with the team to Colorado Springs this morning.
