The second-year receiver’s latest ailment was a sore back that kept him out for nearly two weeks.

With the win, the Padres not only reached the 70-win mark, but also closed the gap on the Dodgers to just two games in the division race.

"Appreciate the interest, but Jameis is a New York Giant," Brown said.

“I appreciate people that are interested, but Jameis is a New York Giant,” assistant general manager Brandon Brown said on Tuesday.

One of the big questions this summer for the New York Giants is whether All-Pro left tackle Andrew Thomas will be ready for the regular season opener on September 7 at Washington.

Thankfully, New York got some positive injury news on Tuesday.

His injuries the last two seasons have undercut the offense’s ability to function.
