Good morning baseball fans!
San Francisco placed pitching prospect Ian Gardeck on waivers Saturday afternoon:
Gardeck will not pitch in 2016 as a result of season-ending Tommy John surgery, but he could prove to be a valuable addition to a club's roster moving forward.
Last season, at 25, Gardeck pitched well enough to earn a spot on the Giants' roster. Over 86.1 innings in relief in Single-A, he pitched to a 3.54 ERA.
It will be between 12 and 15 months before we see Sam Fuld again:
Sam Fuld says Dr. Neal ElAttrache will perform his shoulder surgery in LA on May 18 (or earlier if possible). 12-15 mo. recovery period.

A Ryan Braun trade is "becoming more realistic," according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
If the Yankees don't turn things around, Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller might be moved, Rosenthal adds.
Andrew Heaney doesn't need surgery:
Andrew Heaney said further opinions on his arm reveled nothing new. No surgery. Still just waiting. Not cleared to throw yet.
