DeSclafani expected to return Tuesday
DeSclafani was placed on the 15-day injured list on July 3 (retroactive to July 2) after admitting that he was “running on fumes a little bit” after missing most of last season due to right ankle surgery. The 33-year-old veteran recorded a 2.13 ERA over his first six starts of the year, but his effectiveness waned after that, and he yielded a 6.02 ERA over his last 11 outings.
DeSclafani began a rehab assignment on July 13, tossing four innings of one-run ball in a Rookie-level Arizona Complex League game. He is scheduled to start in the second game of the Giants’ four-game series in Cincinnati on July 18. (Last updated: July 17)

The 31-year-old veteran had logged a 2.16 ERA in nine appearances since returning from Tommy John surgery. He began a rehab assignment on July 13, throwing a scoreless inning in an Arizona Complex League game. (Last updated: July 14)
