Dealing with elbow sprain Vizcaino suffered a right elbow sprain and will begin spring training rehabbing at minor-league camp, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact The 25-year-old joined the Giants on a minor-league deal and received an invite to big-league camp, but he'll start out with the minor leaguers while rehabbing the injury. Vizcaino last pitched in 2019 at Double-A and had a 3.66 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 44:27 K:BB over 46.2 innings.

Getting look as starter Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Wednesday that Baragar will be stretched out this spring and have the opportunity to compete for a starting role, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Merc...
Impact Johnny Cueto and Kevin Gausman can be considered locks for rotation spots, while offseason pickups Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood and Aaron Sanchez also look to be in good position to win starting roles after all signed one-year contracts containing at least $3 million guaranteed. As a result, Baragar may be little more than an insurance option for the rotation, though he could change that narrative if he's able to build on his promising 2020 season with a strong spring. The 26-year-old had previously been a full-time starter while moving up through the Giants' farm system, but he made all but one of his 24 appearances as a rookie in relief. Even if he falls short in his bid for the rotation, Baragar will be in good shape to win an Opening Day bullpen role after he submitted a 4.03 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over his 22.1 innings last season.

Recovering from shoulder surgery Manager Gabe Kapler revealed Wednesday that Adon is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Adon returned to the Giants as a non-roster invitee in December, but he got hurt playing winter ball and was forced to undergo surgery. It's not yet clear when the right-hander will be available, but he could compete for a major-league roster spot if he's healthy prior to the end of spring training.

Joins 60-day IL The Giants placed Brebbia (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact The transaction is merely procedural, as Brebbia isn't expected to be fully cleared for competitive action until the second half of the season while he continues to recover from June 2020 Tommy John surgery. The newly-signed Jake McGee will take Brebbia's spot on the 40-man roster.

Throwing to begin camp Gott (elbow) completed a bullpen session Wednesday during the Giants' first workout of spring training, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Gott finished the past season on the injured list while battling right elbow inflammation, but his ability to throw at the start of camp suggests he'll enter the 2021 campaign with no restrictions. The right-hander received a look in the closer's role last season but couldn't hold down the job, posting a 10.03 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 15 appearances before being shut down. With Reyes Moronta (shoulder) healthy for the start of 2021 and the Giants also adding Jake McGee and Matt Wisler in free agency, Gott will likely find himself lower in the bullpen pecking order.

Latches on with Giants Sanchez signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Giants on Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The 28-year-old missed the 2020 campaign while recovering from shoulder surgery, and he'll join the Giants just before the start of spring training. Sanchez had a 3.00 ERA in 30 starts during 2016, but he struggled to find his footing over the following three seasons. The right-hander averaged just under 94 mph on his fastball during 2018 and 2019, but he was hitting 98 mph in a bullpen session last week. He could earn up to $6.5 million in 2021 through incentives.

Signs minors deal with Giants Tropeano signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Tuesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports...
Impact The right-hander had a strong showing with the Pirates in 2020 with a 1.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB over 15.2 innings out of the bullpen, but he was still let go early in the offseason. Tropeano has primarily worked as a reliever over the past two seasons, but there's a chance the Giants could give him a look as a starter in spring training.

Participating in throwing program Brebbia (elbow) is currently on a throwing program and hopes to start throwing bullpens in March, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Brebbia signed a major-league deal with San Francisco in December after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June. While the right-hander won't be ready for Opening Day, he intends to ramp up his throwing program this spring and could return to game action around the halfway point of the 2021 campaign if he continues to make progress.
