ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The San Francisco Giants acquired Willie Calhoun on Thursday, sending outfielder Steven Duggar to Texas for the outfielder who was the Rangers’ primary return when they traded pitcher Yu Darvish five years ago.

San Francisco also receives money as part of the deal.

It will be a homecoming for Calhoun and a move he requested after being sent to the minors on May 1. The 27-year-old was born in the East Bay town of Vallejo and attended Benicia High School.

Calhoun, 27, spent the five-plus years of his major league career with the Rangers. The left-handed hitter was 0.136 with a home run and two RBIs in 18 major league games this year. He was moved to Triple-A on May 1, and a little over a month later was slated for assignment and then outright assigned to Round Rock, where he hit .217 with five homers in 22 matches.

Duggar, 28, was activated from the 60-day disabled list. Rangers made room on their 40-man roster when right-hander Spencer Patton was named or assigned.

Duggar hit .194 with four RBIs in 12 games for the Giants before being placed on the disabled list with a left oblique strain.
