Micah Owings and Adam Loewen. Loewen doesn't seem like he was a great hitter, but he transitioned to an OF after washing out as a pitcher, hit 306 in AAA and then made the Blue Jays roster as an outfielder in 2011. Now he's pitching again.

I included those three on my initial list. I'll add three more that have come to mind:

Ray Burris
Dan Schatzeder
Tim Lollar

Default foggy memory

Didn't Tony Cloninger have 2 grand slams in the same game? Not sure I remember correctly on this, but pretty impressive at least for one game.

Weird list. No Wes Ferrell or George Uhle on that list, and from bouncing around on Baseball Reference, they should be a clear #1 and #2.
