Up until today, Matt Cain has spent his 2015 season on the DL with a forearm strain. Cain was activated by the Giants and is expected to start in Thursday's action. (Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area)
Fantasy Impact
It is interesting to see how Cain's return will affect the Giants' pitching rotation, which has been solid without his presence, particularly in the case of rookie pitcher Chris Heston. Heston filled in well during Cain's DL stint, going 8-5 and pitching a no-hitter against the Mets. Cain's ADP is 196.8 and he is currently owned in 50.2% of ESPN Leagues. Monitor Cain's first game back before you determine if his presence is necessary on your fantasy team.
