SAN FRANCISCO — The long wait is over for Tyler Rogers.

The short ride for second baseman Scooter Gennett has also come to an end.

The Giants announced Tuesday that Rogers will join their bullpen and take the place of right-hander Trevor Gott, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow strain.

The club also announced that Gennett, who was acquired at the July 31 trade deadline from the Cincinnati Reds, was placed on unconditional release waivers.

In a flurry of roster moves, infield prospect Mauricio Dubon will join the major league roster and likely take over for Gennett as the starting second baseman while infielder Abiatal Avelino has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. Outfielder Joey Rickard was also promoted to the Giants’ roster.

Gennett was brought in to replace Joe Panik as the everyday second baseman, but the infielder never found a rhythm at the plate and hit just .234 during a tenure that lasted less than a month. Panik has hit .292 since being designated for assignment and joining the New York Mets, but the Giants are confident that Dubon and veteran utility infielder Donovan Solano will combine to give the club more production in the final four-plus weeks of the season.

Rogers has spent parts of the last four seasons at Triple-A Sacramento and earned two Pacific Coast League All-Star nods. Now, he’s a big league pitcher.

Rogers, a 2013 10th round draft pick out of Austin Peay State, is the twin brother of Minnesota Twins reliever Taylor Rogers. Tyler Rogers has a funky, submarine style delivery and owns a 4.21 ERA in 49 games for Triple-A Sacramento this season.

Rogers, 28, will become the 10th different Giants player to make his big league debut this season, following 22-year-old starter Logan Webb who was the last to do so when he faced the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday, August 17.

Gott had to leave Monday’s game as he dealt with tightness in his right forearm with two outs in the seventh inning. Manager Bruce Bochy said Monday night that Gott would undergo more tests to determine the severity of the injury, but that Gott would have to miss some time regardless.

Gott had to spend time on the injured list from late May to early June with a right forearm strain. He was 7-0 this season with a 4.15 ERA in 52 innings before Monday.

Before he came out of the game, Gott had just walked Ketel Marte to load the bases. Gott’s last pitch was a 92 mph fastball.
