Nunez (elbow) was activated from Triple-A Sacramento's 60-day injured list Aug. 8 and has allowed three runs with a 3:3 K:BB over four innings since his return.
EDGE Analysis
Nunez spent much of July into August on a rehab assignment as he worked back from Tommy John surgery. The southpaw last pitched in the majors with the Dodgers in 2021, posting an 8.22 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 7.2 innings. Nunez could eventually be an option for the Giants' big-league bullpen if he can steady his numbers in the coming weeks.

Nunez (elbow) began a rehab assignment July 13 and has compiled a 4.82 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB in 9.1 innings over seven appearances between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Single-A San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Nunez remains on Triple-A Sacramento's 60-day injured list but looks to be on the cusp of an activation while his 30-day rehab window nears its end. The 30-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched for Sacramento this season while he's continued his recovery from the Tommy John surgery procedure he underwent in April 2022.

Nunez (elbow) agreed to a minor-league contract with the Giants on Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nunez was previously released by the Giants last week, but his re-signing with the organization just a few days later suggests the prior transaction may have been procedural. Regardless, Nunez won't be in line to make his organizational debut until at least next summer, as he underwent Tommy John surgery April 27.

Nunez (elbow) was released by the Giants on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was designated for assignment by the Dodgers less than a week ago after it was reported that he needed Tommy John surgery, so it's been a rough week for the 29-year-old lefty.

Nunez (elbow) agreed to a minor-league contract with the Giants on Tuesday, baseball journalist Francys Romero reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Nunez was diagnosed last week with ligament damage to his left elbow that required season-ending Tommy John surgery, the Dodgers designated him for assignment Sunday and released him a day later after he cleared waivers. The southpaw underwent the procedure Tuesday and struck a deal with the Giants soon after, allowing him to have his rehab program overseen by the team. The Giants will presumably see how Nunez progresses over the next several months before determining whether to keep him in the organization heading into spring training.

Nunez (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nunez is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery and has now been removed from Los Angeles' 40-man roster. The 29-year-old lefty will miss the rest of the season while recovering from the procedure, and he's also likely to be out for the first couple months of the 2023 campaign.

Nunez will undergo Tommy John surgery, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Nunez was optioned to minor-league camp on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nunez made his major-league debut in 2021, but he posted an 8.22 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 7.2 innings. Though he'll likely begin the season in Triple-A Oklahoma City, Nunez is in line to contribute out of the bullpen at the big-league level at some point in 2022.

EDGE Analysis
Nunez was reinstated from the injured list Sunday and allowed two runs on a hit and two walks in a third of an inning in the series finale against the Mets. Andre Jackson and Neftali Feliz will join the big-league bullpen as part of Monday's transaction.

Nunez (undisclosed) was reinstated from the injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Since Nunez has returned to the active roster after missing just over a week, he was likely sidelined due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. The southpaw has made three appearances since the All-Star break, and he allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four in 4.2 innings during that time.
