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.
