Giants' Matt Cain: Hopes to begin rehab assignment soon
Cain (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Friday, CSN Bay Area reports.
Analysis:
Cain threw a successful 36-pitch bullpen session on Sunday morning and is scheduled to face live hitters Tuesday. If all goes well, Cain will embark upon a rehab assignment, though the number of rehab starts has yet to be determined. Barring any setbacks, the right-hander could be ready to return in the first or second week of July.
