Twins Showing Interest In Madison Bumgarner

The Minnesota Twins are showing strong interest in San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner. The Twins are not on Bumgarner's no-trade list.

Steven Duggar Takes Dry Swings On Monday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Steven Duggar (back) was able to take 20 dry swings on Monday, as he slowly progresses in his recovery from tightness in his lower back.
