Bumgarner hits off tee as rehab progresses

SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner has begun to swing a bat again, manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday.

Recently at the Giants' training complex at Scottsdale, Ariz., Bumgarner hit off a tee. Bumgarner was scheduled to throw three innings Sunday in an extended spring game.

"[He] took the tee out on the field just to hit on the field and see how the ball was coming off the bat," Bochy said. "He's into -- whether it's pitching or hitting -- to have things right."

Bochy said Bumgarner will return to San Francisco on Monday and will throw his next bullpen session later in the week.
