SAN FRANCISCO
As Giants reliever Derek Law faced hitters in a simulated setting at AT&T Park on Monday afternoon, those gathered around the backstop watching included manager Bruce Bochy, coaches Dave Righetti and Mark Gardner and ace Madison Bumgarner. In the clubhouse, asked how the session went, Law grinned and replied: “Felt great.”
The Giants are expected to activate Law from the disabled list Wednesday. His role is unclear. Arguably the Giants’ best reliever this season, Law landed on the DL because of a strained right elbow Aug. 28. While he was out, the Giants’ bullpen structure went from tenuous to nebulous with the removal last week of Santiago Casilla from the closer’s role.
