This time, Kendall Graveman is confident he’ll be healthy enough to stick in the rotation. He’ll be activated from the disabled list Thursday to face the Giants in his first start since May 19.
“Yeah, it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been on the mound,” said Graveman, who has been on the disabled list twice with a shoulder strain.
The Opening Night starter had a couple of rough rehab starts before putting it together Saturday for Triple-A Nashville, giving up one run in four innings while topping 80 pitches. He said he had better sink on his pitches and hit mid-90s with his final pitch.
