Giants signed RHP Collin Balester to a minor league contract.
The 30-year-old right-hander was released by the Tigers at the end of spring training. He owns a career 5.47 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 200 2/3 innings at the major league level, but has pitched a total of 15 2/3 innings in the majors since the 2012 season. He'll provide organizational depth for the Giants.

Tigers signed RHP Collin Balester to a minor league contract.
The 30-year-old right-hander spent the 2015 season pitching for the Samsung Lions in the Korean Baseball Organization, registering an 8.03 ERA, 2.60 WHIP and 5/12 K/BB ratio over 12 1/3 innings. He's merely organizational depth for the Tigers at this point.

Collin Balester announced Saturday that he has signed a contract with the Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization.
The 29-year-old right-hander wasn't finding any offers to his liking stateside, so he'll head overseas for the 2016 season in an effort to rebuild his value. He appeared in 15 games for the Reds in 2015, compiling a 7.47 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 13/13 K/BB ratio over 15 2/3 innings.

10-Day DL
Hunter Pence (thumb) took batting practice Monday.
It's a good sign that he's already swinging a bat just a few days after being placed on the disabled list with a sprained right thumb. More will obviously be known about a potential timetable for Pence after we see how his thumb responds.

Madison Bumgarner
60-Day DL
Madison Bumgarner had pins removed from his injured hand.
It's the latest step in Bumgarner's recovery from a broken left pinkie, which he suffered late in spring training. The left-hander is eligible to return from the disabled list on May 25 and manager Bruce Bochy expects he'll be able to do just that. His return would likely bump Derek Holland from the starting rotation.

Mark Melancon
10-Day DL
Mark Melancon (forearm) will play catch Thursday.
It will be the first time he's done any throwing since he was diagnosed with inflammation in his flexor tendon just before Opening Day. The Giants will have no idea on a timetable for Melancon until they see how he progresses. The veteran reliever should get his closer job back eventually when he's physically ready, but when/if that happens is up in the air. Hunter Strickland has been handling the ninth inning for San Francisco with Melancon out.

Will Smith (elbow) is on track to be activated from the disabled list next week.
Working his way back from Tommy John surgery, Smith has allowed two runs with a 9/0 K/BB ratio over 4 2/3 rehab innings to this point. He will make back-to-back appearances Wednesday and Thursday and then pitch to a batter or two Sunday before being activated if all goes well.

Julian Fernandez
60-Day DL
Julian Fernandez will undergo Tommy John surgery for his UCL injury on Thursday after receiving a second opinion from doctors.
Fernandez was diagnosed with a UCL strain rather than a tear, so it wasn't a lock that he'd undergo the season-ending surgery. He will now. The second pick of last year's Rule 5 draft, Fernandez will miss the entire 2018 season, and battle for a spot in the San Francisco bullpen in 2019.
