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.
May 20 - 9:39 AM
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.

Michael Morse
7-Day DL
Michael Morse (concussion) felt "foggy" while attempting cardio work on Friday.
Morse has been on the concussion disabled list since May 30 and will be shut down for at least another couple days. He suffered the head injury -- and some bruised ribs -- during last month's brawl with the Nationals.

Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) could be activated from the disabled list when first eligible on Friday.
Nunez was finally placed on the DL over the weekend after trying to play through a strained hamstring for a while. The Giants clearly think he's had enough down time. Ryder Jones has been filling in at third base.

Conor Gillaspie
10-Day DL
Giants placed 3B Conor Gillaspie on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to June 26, with back spasms.
Gillaspie just returned last week from a six-week absence with back issues, but obviously he's still not healthy. It's unclear how long he'll be out this time around.

Madison Bumgarner (shoulder) will move his rehab assignment up to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
Bumgarner tossed three hitless innings for the Giants' Arizona Rookie League team on Sunday. The ace has made a swift recovery from a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder and is looking like he might be ready for activation just after the All-Star break.

Mark Melancon
10-Day DL
Mark Melancon (elbow) received a PRP injection on Wednesday.
While Melancon just landed on the disabled list with a right pronator strain in his elbow, the PRP shot was actually administered in his forearm. He has now been placed on the disabled list twice with elbow issues this season. The Giants are well out of contention and have no reason to rush him back, so expect them to treat this recurrence with caution. Sam Dyson will close for San Francisco while Melancon is out of commission.
