SF Giants make surprise move, claim Camilo Doval off waivers from the Pirates

The SF Giants have claimed relief pitcher Camilo Doval off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team announced. In a corresponding roster move, pitcher Blade Tidwell was transferred to the 60-day injured list following a recommendation for Tommy John surgery that will likely sideline him for the upcoming season.

Doval returns to San Francisco after being placed on waivers earlier in the week, entering his third arbitration-eligible offseason following a $6.1 million salary. The transaction increases the Giants' count to 17 players currently on the 60-day injured list heading into offseason roster decisions.
