San Francisco Giants closer Mark Melancon (elbow) threw a successful 22-pitch bullpen session Monday.
"I was going pretty much full go," Melancon said. The closer is eligible for activation from the disabled list on Tuesday, but it sounds like it will be a little longer than that before he returns. Derek Law is filling in as the Giants' closer.
Melancon has six saves in eight chances this season while recording a 2.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 22.7 strikeout percentage in 10 2/3 innings.
