Madison Bumgarner “starting to calm down,” will begin rehab work soon

SAN FRANCISCO – Madison Bumgarner is getting better already.

The Giants have not released an official timetable for their left-handed ace, who has a sprained left shoulder and bruised ribs after wiping out on a dirt bike on Colorado last Thursday. But Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Bumgarner already is feeling improvement and will begin some light rehab activities within four to five days.

“Things are starting to calm down a little bit,” Bochy said. “And it’s good news that there’s no surgery. If that were the case, he’d be out for the year. So we got good news on that.
