SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy, rejuvenated after a prosperous fishing trip in Half Moon Bay on Monday's day off, will soon welcome a similar boost to his starting rotation.
Jeff Samardzija made his third rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday night, and Bochy expected the right-hander to throw up to about 90 pitches. Johnny Cueto will make his second rehab start in Sacramento on Friday.
"He can go up to 70 pitches," Bochy said of Cueto.
Cueto has been sidelined since April 28 with a right elbow strain, and Samardzija has been out since May 29 with right shoulder tightness.
