What to expect in Madison Bumgarner's return to the mound

Madison Bumgarner will make his first start of the season for the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday opposite the Arizona Diamondbacks' Patrick Corbin.

Bumgarner began the season on the disabled list with a fractured finger on his left hand. It was just the second DL trip of his career, the other coming last season for a left shoulder strain sustained in a dirt bike accident.

The Giants have fared better than expected in Bumgarner's absence, entering play Tuesday at .500 (30-30) and just 1 1/2 games behind first-place Arizona in the NL West.
