Giants' Mark Melancon (arm) still dealing with discomfort

What It Means:
Melancon said that he's "progressing" but acknowledged he remains below 100 percent after pitching on Wednesday for the first time since undergoing a procedure on his right forearm in September. “Discomfort is part of the process," the 32-year-old right-hander said. "I don’t view it as a negative thing. That’s part of it.†Melancon is expected to be ready to handle closing duties for the Giants by Opening Day.
numberFire's models project Melancon to record a 2.73 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 21.9 strikeout percentage with 26 saves across 59 1/3 innings this season.
