Giants set date for Bumgarner to resume throwing

SAN FRANCISCO — Madison Bumgarner is on schedule to take the first step in his recovery from a left-shoulder later this week.

Manager Bruce Bochy said the Giants left-handed ace will likely throw a baseball for the first time since he sprained his left shoulder in a dirt bike accident in Colorado last month on Friday.

Bumgarner won’t be throwing a full bullpen session from the mound; he’ll be tossing the ball around on flat ground.

The team doesn’t have a timetable for his return to the rotation, but it will likely be after the All-Star break.
