Kontos (elbow) has played catch the past two days, but manager Bruce Bochy relayed Monday that the right-handed reliever remains a "couple weeks" from a return, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.
Kontos was placed on the DL last Tuesday as a result of a flexor strain, but his first activation date appears to be optimistic following Bochy's comment. In the meantime, the Giants' bullpen will continue to operate without two key cogs, the other being Sergio Romo (forearm).
