Beede (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
It's not clear when exactly Beede is expected to return from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent in March of last year, but this transaction makes it clear that he'll remain out for the beginning of the upcoming campaign. The move clears a space on the 40-man roster for the Giants to add Jordan Humphreys, who was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.
