The SF Giants received some unfortunate news on Friday as it was announced that their Rule 5 draft pick would need Tommy John surgery.
Dedniel Núñez was just placed on the 60-day injured list with a UCL sprain in his pitching elbow, but it now appears that the SF Giants reliever is heading toward a lengthier absence.

Núñez was plucked away from the New York Mets organization in December as a Rule 5 pick, so the right-handed hurler had a good shot at making the Opening Day roster.
