Giants-Dodgers: Buster Posey likely to rejoin first-place San Francisco during crucial series

The San Francisco Giants are poised to get back two key contributors just in time for a critical road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants and Dodgers begin a four-game set on Monday night, and according to Giants' manager Gabe Kapler, righty Kevin Gausman, who's been on the family medical emergency list, will be activated in time to start the series opener. As well, Kapler tells Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle that he's optimistic about the availability of franchise catcher Buster Posey, who's been sidelined since July 4 with a thumb contusion.
