I think 14 extra spots is plenty. If they can’t field a full 26, tough. There is no way they would be given an exception to have 41 on the 40. If they cant add another bat to the 26 (the whole Pitcher/Batter restrictions to the 26 are so lame), then they should be required to DFA someone to make room.I doubt it. I would think teams would have sufficient motivation to only put players who are going to be out of action for at least 60 days on there. For players that they want back, they are going to be hesitant to put them out of action longer than needed and for guys on the tail end of their 40 man roster, they aren't going to want to pay them for that much service time.
This is entirely an academic discussion, of course. The Giants can still add Lee to the 60 in order to add whomever they are looking at to add.
