The Giants re-signed Scutaro (as part of his original three-year contract) and added him to the 40-man roster and then placed him on the 60-day DL as a ceremonial gesture Wednesday, CSN Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic reports.
He is still rehabbing his back for life, not baseball, but the Giants did not want the playoff hero's career to end being released, as he was in January. The three-year $20 million contract he signed prior to the 2013 season will just be picked back up and it will expire at the end of 2015. Look for Scutaro to finish out the season on the 60-day DL so that he can retire at the end of the season.
Thu Jan 29 201516:20Scutaro (back) released by Giants on Wednesday
Scutaro (back) was released by the Giants on Wednesday.
This move was effectively made last week when the team designated Scutaro for assignment, as the veteran was never going to accept an outright assignment to Triple-A. Back issues plagued Scutaro's 2014 campaign, limiting him to just five games after he appeared in at least 104 games in each of his previous 10 campaigns. The 39-year-old underwent spinal fusion surgery in December and his future is uncertain.
Wed Jan 21 201512:37Scutaro designated for assignment by Giants on Wednesday
Scutaro was designated for assignment by the Giants on Wednesday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Scutaro missed nearly all of the 2014 campaign with a back injury after playing 127 games with the club in 2013. The Giants needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-acquired Norichika Aoki, but plan to keep him as he recovers from spinal fusion surgery.

Scutaro underwent spinal fusion surgery Sunday and will miss at least four to six months, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Scutaro's missed nearly all of the 2014 season due to a back injury, and the spinal surgery will set him back even further. He is now 39 years of age, and it's possible he has played his last game in the major leagues.
Mon Sep 1 201422:27Scutaro (back) placed on 60-day DL
Scutaro (back) has been placed on the 60-day DL.
Scutaro was already in danger of missing the rest of the 2014 season, and this move essentially confirms that notion. His transfer will clear up an extra space on the 40-man roster for the Giants' next round of September call-ups.

Manager Bruce Bochy acknowledged Monday that Scutaro (back) is unlikely to return this season, Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Scutaro already seems to be in vacation-mode at this point, as he's already turned to his offseason home in Florida rather than rehabbing at the Giants' spring training facility in Arizona. The 38-year-old still has one more year remaining on his contract after this season, but it's unclear if he plans on keeping his career going.
Fri Jul 25 201418:44Giants place Marco Scutaro on disabled list
Giants placed INF Marco Scutaro on the 15-day disabled list with a strained lower back.
The veteran infielder has dealt with chronic back issues throughout the season, and managed to play in just five games during his brief stint with the Giants. Fantasy owners can probably write him off completely at this point.

Mon Jul 21 201408:40Scutaro (neck) scores run in return Sunday
Marco Scutaro (neck) finished 1-for-4 with a run scored Sunday in his return to the Giants' lineup.
It was only Scutaro's second game of the season. With his chronic back injury lingering and a new neck issue developing, the veteran second baseman is doubtful to be an everyday player down the stretch and can be ignored in standard fantasy formats.

Fri Jul 18 201417:48Marco Scutaro day-to-day with stiff neck
Marco Scutaro is considered day-to-day due to a stiff neck.
Scutaro just returned from his chronic back injury and was already essentially going to be day-to-day the rest of the season. He should be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Sun Jul 13 201410:59Scutaro's back tightened late in game
Marco Scutaro admitted that his back tightened up on him late during Saturday's game.
It's not unexpected, as Scutaro still isn't 100 percent and was playing in his first game of the season. He's essentially going to be day-to-day for the rest of the season, but the Giants are hoping he'll be able to gut it out without going back on the DL. "I know my back is not 100 percent," Scutaro said. "I'll just try to fight through it, day by day, and go from there."

Sat Jul 12 201413:28Marco Scutaro returns to Giants lineup
Marco Scutaro has returned to the Giants starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Scutaro has missed the entire season thus far due to a recurring back injury. While he will be eased back into action, he makes for an interesting target in deeper mixed, and NL-only formats.

Giants activated INF Marco Scutaro from the 60-day disabled list.
Scutaro is not in the Giants lineup on Friday, but will be available as a pinch hitter off the bench. He's worth a look as a middle infield option in deeper mixed league formats.

The Giants plan to activate Marco Scutaro (back) from the disabled list on Saturday.
There was a prevailing thought that he would rejoin the team on Friday, but it looks as though he needed an extra day. Expect him to rejoin the Giants starting lineup and make his season debut on Saturday.

Wed Jul 9 201419:27Scutaro (back) aiming for Friday activation
The Giants are aiming to activate Marco Scutaro (back) from the disabled list on Friday.
The tentative plan is for Scutaro to play a full nine innings with Triple-A Fresno on Thursday, with the team activating him before Friday's game if all goes well. Scutaro hasn't played a game yet this season due to chronic back problems, but he could be a big boost to the Giants in the second half.

Tue Jul 8 201420:38Giants optimistic about Marco Scutaro
Giants manager Bruce Bochy indicated Tuesday that the club is optimistic Marco Scutaro (back) will have a bigger role than initially expected upon his return.
Scutaro is feeling great during his rehab assignment to the point that Bochy thinks the second baseman could play more than the 2-4 games per week the team was initially anticipating. The veteran infielder could be activated later this week.

Mon Jul 7 201420:31Marco Scutaro moves rehab up to Triple-A
Marco Scutaro (back) has moved his rehab assignment up to Triple-A Fresno.
Scutaro picked up two hits and two walks over 14 plate appearances with the Arizona League Giants. The second baseman thinks he's ready to return now, but the club wants him to show he can play a full game first. Scutaro should be activated soon if he can avoid a setback.

Thu Jul 3 201414:46Scutaro (back) may soon move rehab to AAA
Marco Scutaro (back) could move his minor league rehab assignment to Triple-A Fresno on Sunday.
Scutaro had two hits Wednesday in his second rehab game in the rookie-level Arizona League. He's on the long road to recovery from a chronic back injury that required a blood-spinning procedure in mid-May. If all goes well from here on out, the veteran second baseman could return to the Giants' active roster late next week, but his days of being an everyday player could be over.

Fri Jun 27 201411:40Marco Scutaro sore after first rehab game
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that Marco Scutaro (back) was a bit sore following his first rehab game with the rookie-level Arizona League Giants on Tuesday.
It's no surprise given that he hasn't played in a real game in months, but at this point we can't rule out it being another setback for the veteran second baseman. Scutaro is set to play 4-5 innings for the Arizona League Giants on Friday, so we'll see how he comes out of that appearance.
