Giants starting pitcher Matt Cain is headed to see the esteemed Dr. James Andrews regarding his elbow inflammation, per multiple Bay Area reports (Andrew Baggarly being one of them).
Cain’s in the fifth year of an eight-year, $139.75 million deal that also includes a club option for 2018.
Bad news for the Giants, 5 game losing streak, just got owned by your biggest rival the Dodgers at home in a 3 game set to a total of 17-4, and now to top it off you hear your ace is going to see the Dr. of death. Dr. Andrews is the best of the best, he is who you want your player to go to get better, in the OFF SEASON, hearing your ace even has to visit him during the season just screams bad news for your ball club.
On the flip side the injury has obviously hurt Cain, he has flat out stunk this year for the team to the tune of 2-7. That pitching acquisition of Jake Peavy makes more sense now than it did before. Hard to imagine Peavy is as horrible as he was with the Sox the rest of the way. The countdown to the trade deadline continues and I expect the Giants to try to be buyers again.
