CINCINNATI -- Though time is running out for Jeff Samardzija to make an impact on the Giants' 2018 season, the right-hander will begin a Minor League rehab stint on Wednesday with Triple-A Sacramento.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy made the expected announcement before Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.
Samardzija has experienced discomfort in his throwing shoulder for most of the season, limiting him to 10 starts with the Giants. He's 1-5 with a 6.25 ERA this season.
The Giants were expecting much more than that from Samardzija, their anticipated No.
