Cain (elbow) is slated to throw two innings Friday at Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be a quick return to the mound for Cain, who just landed on the disabled list on Aug. 28 with nerve irritation in his pitching elbow. After a week's rest, he'll be back on the mound Friday to begin his rehab assignment. Given that he's only going two innings, he'll likely need at least a second rehab appearance before rejoining the Giants.
