#1 Daniel, MLB clubs must cut two players by Tue May 3 going down from a 27 man roster to 25 and one of those players must be a pitcher. The Giants are looking for pitcher Alex Cobb to comeback from an strain injury and they’ll to cut someone to keep Cobb.

#2 The two Giants that could get demoted are relief pitcher Zack Littell who should be coming off the Covid IL in a week, also pitchers Tyler Beede, Kevin Castro, and Yunior Marte are possible cuts, Beede has no more options.

#3 Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski need two negative Covid tests before he can be allowed to return from the Covid IL. Yastrzemski has provided the Giants a great bat hitting .267, 12 hits, 1 home run and 3 RBIs the Giants miss his glove too.

#4 LeMonte Wade Jr who suffered a knee injury in spring training could return by early next week. It took some time for Wade to return and feels he’s ready. Wade was helpful with his glove and the ability to play different positions last season.
