On the Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 Johnny Cueto is expected to be back in the rotation recovered from the lat tightness injury according to San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler. Kapler certainly was looking forward to seeing Cueto back to help out.

#2 After the Colorado series this week the Rockies and Giants both had some offense and got some runs scored. The Rockies wound up taking the last two games of the three game set.

#3 Giants outfielder Mike Mike Yastrzemski is also expected back in the line up before his going on the injured list Yastrzemski was hitting .215 with 17 hits, four home runs and six RBIs.

#4 Catcher Buster Posey is also hopeful for this weekend after suffering a hamstring injury during Wednesday’s game. Posey has been important to have in the line up especially with the San Diego Padres coming in tonight.
