Alex Cobb - Sharp in minor-league outing Cobb (hip) struck out five over two hitless innings in a minor-league game Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Cobb threw 18 of his 27 pitches for strikes in what was his first game appearance since he had left hip surgery last October. The veteran right-hander next outing figures to come during Cactus League play next week. A timetable for Cobb rejoining the Giants' rotation isn't clear yet, but a return before the end of April is looking distinctly possible.

Jung Hoo Lee - Sidelined with tight hamstring Lee will be held out of action for the next 2-to-3 days because of left hamstring tightness, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The hamstring tightened up on Lee during Wednesday's game. That the Giants are saying they expect him back in a few days certainly suggests the injury is minor, but hamstring issues do have a tendency to linger. It puts a cloud of uncertainty over Lee especially for those in fantasy drafts this weekend.
