DENVER — Madison Bumgarner did not to wish to postpone his simulated game until Sunday, but the Rockies wouldn’t make Coors Field available early until then. So the plan changed.
Bumgarner left for the minor league complex in Arizona where he’ll face prospects on Saturday. He’s expected to throw 30 pitches or so.
Jarrett Parker (fractured collarbone) was supposed to stand in against Bumgarner, but he’ll remain with the Giants in Denver this weekend as he continues to gear up for a minor league rehab assignment.
Many Giants draftees are in camp right now getting their physicals out of the way.
