Wenliang Xie Joins Golden Bears
BERKELEY – Wenliang Xie, a two-time All-Big East Conference selection, has signed to play for the California men's golf program. Xie, a Burbank native, spent the previous five seasons at Seton Hall and joins the Golden Bears as a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility remaining in 2024-25. Xie has played in more than 40 tournaments since the start of his collegiate career in 2019-20 and owns a 72.82 career stroke average. He has 15 career top-10 finishes and eight top-five finishes, including a win at the 2019 Hartford Hawks Invitational, just his second collegiate tournament played. Xie was at his best for the Pirates last season as he averaged career-low 71.81 strokes per round across 12 tournaments, posted four top-five finishes and had 15 sub-par rounds on the way to earning All-Big East First-Team and Big East Championship All-Tournament Team honors.
Giants' Robbie Ray: Impresses in latest rehab start
Ray (elbow) struck out nine batters and gave up one hit and one walk over five scoreless innings in his rehab start Sunday with Single-A San Jose. Making his ninth and perhaps final minor-league rehab appearance as he works his way back from May 2023 Tommy John surgery, Ray submitted his lengthiest and best outing yet. He built up to 74 pitches (56 strikes) in the rehab start and now owns a 4.13 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 38:4 K:BB in 24 innings over stops with San Jose, Triple-A Sacramento and the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. With Ray looking fully recovered from elbow surgery from both a workload and performance standpoint, he appears poised to return from the 60-day injured list to make his Giants debut coming out of the All-Star break. If the Giants opt to keep a five-man rotation intact rather than expanding to six, rookie Hayden Birdsong would seem to be most at risk of losing his starting spot once Ray is activated.

Giants' Alex Cobb: Next rehab outing coming Monday
Cobb (hip/shoulder) is scheduled to make the fourth start of his rehab assignment Monday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, MLB.com reports. Cobb had made each of his first three rehab starts with Single-A San Jose, but with all levels of minor-league baseball in the midst of their All-Star break except for rookie ball, he'll head to Arizona to continue his progression. In his latest rehab outing with San Jose this past Wednesday, Cobb built up to 55 pitches and four innings while striking out four batters and giving up three runs on five hits and one walk. Including his upcoming outing Monday, Cobb will likely need to make at least two more rehab starts before the Giants would consider bringing him back from the 60-day injured list. Cobb has been on the shelf all season while recovering from offseason hip surgery but was expected to return at some point in the first half before a bout with shoulder irritation in mid-April resulted in a shutdown period that pushed back his timeline for activation.
