Right-hander Jean Machi, with the Biscuits in 2005-06, has been promoted to the major leagues by the San Francisco Giants.
He's in line to be the 56th former Biscuit to play in the big leagues and fourth this season. He'd be the 19th player from the 2005 team and 12th from 2006.
Machi was 2-1 with 15 saves and a 3.97 ERA in 53 games at Triple-A Fresno this year. The 30-year-old made one appearance for the Biscuits in 2005 and was Montgomery's closer in 2006.
Machi was 6-1 with 16 saves and a 2.64 ERA in 49 games for the 2006 Southern League champions.

Robby Price, Geoff Rowan run with Bulls
Triple-A Durham has added two more players from below the Biscuits in the Tampa Bay organization.
Infielder Robby Price has joined the Bulls from high-Class A Charlotte and catcher Geoff Rowan moved up from short-season Class A Hudson Valley.
The Bulls, after losing four players to major league promotions with the Sept. 1 roster expansion, also had a player designated for assignment: infielder Will Rhymes.
Price hit .265 in 110 games with the Stone Crabs. He was a 13th-round draft pick in 2010 from the Rock Chalk Kansas Jayhawks. Rowan was 2-for-9 in six games for the Renegades, including just one game in August. He was a 39th-round pick this year out of Northwestern.

Morning reading: Biscuits tackle football
Should be an interesting day at Riverwalk Stadium. The Biscuits could clinch a playoff berth and also play before the smallest home regular-season Saturday crowd in team history.
Why, you ask? Well, they're going head-to-head with the state's quasi religion: football. Auburn starts at 6, Alabama at 7 and the Biscuits at 7:05.
Their weakest regular-season Saturday is a 3,915 on Aug. 6, 2011.
Also, the Biscuits have two end-of-season Southern League All-Stars in Omar Luna and Hak-Ju Lee.
I rushed out of Riverwalk right after Friday's game for high school football reasons. Here is the statewide score list, the results of the ranked teams and early-season standings.
