Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that Scott Hairston has been claimed off waivers. It's not a big surprise. The Giants could really use him, but it's possible they were blocked by a team with a worse record. The Mets can make a deal with the claiming deal, assign Hairston's contract to the claiming team or simply pull him back from waivers. There should be a resolution in the next 48 hours.
