DENVER -- Pitcher Jeff Samardzija, whose season was derailed by right shoulder inflammation that surfaced in Spring Training, said Tuesday he will continue to seek information from shoulder specialists as he plots an offseason rehabilitation program.
While surgery has been ruled out and an anti-inflammatory injection did not lead to a recovery, Samardzija, who made just 10 starts for the Giants this season, continues to do shoulder strengthening exercises but is not playing catch.
The Giants transferred Samardzija to the 60-day disabled list Tuesday to make room on the 40-man roster for newly acquired infielder Abiatal Avelino, who was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento.
