News: Cain got torched for seven runs on eight hits over just 2.1 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Cain's loss dropped the Giants to five games behind the Rockies, who won on Tuesday. He's lost his last three starts, seeing his ERA rise by nearly a half a run in the process.
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
News: Cain (elbow) is scheduled to start Sunday against the Pirates and will throw a between-starts bullpen session on Thursday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Cain sat out Tuesday's All-Star game due to the bruised elbow he sustained when he was hit by a line drive last Saturday. Whether Cain starts Sunday will likely depend on how well his bullpen session goes. Be sure to double check his status on Thursday.
