Activated by Giants McGee (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Manager Gabe Kapler has been optimistic that McGee would be back in action for the final series of the regular season, and he'll rejoin the Giants' bullpen Saturday. Camilo Doval has seen ninth-inning work recently, but McGee will likely reclaim the closer's duties late in the regular season and during the playoffs.

Likely to return this weekend Manager Gabe Kapler said Friday that there's a "good chance" that McGee (oblique) returns this weekend, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact McGee has been on the injured list since Sept. 17 due to a right oblique strain, but he threw a bullpen session Wednesday. Although the southpaw is unlikely to return ahead of Friday's series opener against the Padres, it appears as though he'll rejoin the major-league bullpen at some point during the final weekend of the regular season.

Throwing bullpen Wednesday McGee (oblique) will throw off a mound Wednesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact McGee landed on the IL Sept. 17 with a right oblique strain. The left-hander progressed to playing catch from 90 feet last Friday and now he is on the brink of resuming mound work. The plans for McGee beyond Wednesday aren't entirely clear, but so long as he gets through session without any setbacks, a return to the Giants' bullpen for the final regular-season series against the Padres might not be out of the question. McGee has logged 31 saves (36 opportunities) while posting an impressive 2.72 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 58:10 K:BB across 59.2 innings this season.

Throws from 90 feet McGee (oblique) played catch from 90 feet Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact McGee has been on the injured list for a week, but it's encouraging to see him start a throwing program. He'll have to resume mound work before he has a clear timetable for his return, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him rejoin the Giants late in the regular season or to begin the postseason.

IL bound with oblique strain McGee was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain Friday.

Impact It seems likely the oblique injury has been nagging McGee for a few days, as he hasn't pitched since Sunday's game against the Cubs. He'll be eligible to come off the injured list Sept. 24, but given the nature of oblique injuries, he could easily be forced to miss more time. That being said, per Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News, manager Gabe Kapler is hoping to have the southpaw back by the end of the regular season.
