Giants Sign Reliever Ken Giles
The San Francisco Giants signed free-agent right-handed relief pitcher Ken Giles (elbow) to a minor league contract on Monday, and he'll pitch for the team's rookie-ball organization on Monday. Giles was recovering from Tommy John surgery and was recently designated for assignment by the Seattle Mariners last week. In five outings with Seattle covering 4 1/3 innings, the 31-year-old gave up just one hit while walking four and striking out six in 4 1/3 shutout frames. However, he also allowed 13 earned runs on 17 hits while walking 10 and striking out 15 in 12 1/3 minor league rehab innings with High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma. Giles will be hoping to prove that he's worth of a spot in San Fran's bullpen down the stretch.
