Ray (hamstring) threw another bullpen session Saturday and remains hopeful to return from the 15-day injured list to make one start before the end of the season, MLB.com reports.

Ray faced live hitters in batting practice this past Wednesday, but the session was cut short after 42 pitches when he began experiencing fatigue. The southpaw appears to have avoided a major setback, however, given that he was back on the mound just a few days later. Ray will likely still need to face live hitters on at least one more occasion before the Giants feel comfortable bringing him back from the IL, and he could be on a limited pitch count if he reaches his goal of making one more start for the big club. Landen Roupp should make at least one more turn through the rotation as the Giants' fifth starter until Ray is ready for activation.
