Giants have signed RHP Josh Johnson to a minor league contract.

8 years ago

The Giants are just adding depth for spring training and seeing if they could possibly catch lightning in a bottle. Johnson hasn’t pitched in a big league game since 2013 and underwent Tommy John surgery for the third time in September of 2015. Fantasy owners can completely ignore this situation.

Josh Johnson will undergo the third Tommy John surgery of his career and bring an abrupt end to his comeback bid from another elbow surgery.

This is truly a sad story for a once promising young pitcher. Johnson never felt right after his second Tommy John dealing with one setback after another until his ligament just snapped again. You have to give the man credit, he does plan to rehab and try to make another comeback. We all will be rooting for Johnson.

Josh Johnson (right elbow) won't pitch again this season.

Not big surprise and no great loss. Johnson is a perennial disappointment as he succumbs to one injury or another and is a completely wasted pick in any fantasy leagues. Move along. Nothing left to see here.

Josh Johnson (Tommy John Surgery) left Friday's rehab game after facing one hitter. Johnson left with a trainer, but the injury is not known.

That's never good news for players coming off Tommy John, as any setbacks can prove to take a long time to overcome. Hopefully Johnson is good by next spring.
