Melancon signed a 4-year, $62 million contract with the Giants last winter.

It was a rough first season in San Francisco for the three-time All-Star.

He spent time on the DL and appeared in just 32 games -- 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA.

On Sept. 8, he posted to Twitter:

Melancon was diagnosed with pronator syndrome -- similar to carpal tunnel syndrome.
