Tyler Matzek - Put on waiversThe Giants placed Matzek (elbow) on waivers Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chroniclereports.
ImpactMatzek has been on the shelf since early May due to elbow inflammation, and he's given up three earned runs over 4.2 innings in Triple-A since beginning a rehab assignment Aug. 13. He's trending toward a return from the injured list sometime in September and can now be picked up by another team that is willing to pay the remainder of his salary for the year. If he passes through waivers unclaimed, the 33-year-old southpaw will remain with the Giants.
