First win of MLB season Whisenhunt (1-0) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings during the 7-5 win against Atlanta. He struck out two.

Impact Whisenhunt was called on for the start after Tuesday's game got suspended and finished earlier Wednesday, as each club was given an extra roster space. The lefty got through five innings without giving up a run, but allowed three straight singles in the sixth and was pulled from the game. The 25-year-old had a 3.65 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 13 starts and one relief appearance in Triple-A Sacramento.

Recalled ahead of Wednesday's start The Giants recalled Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Whisenhunt will start Wednesday's game in Atlanta in that will be his first outing with the big club this season. The left-hander holds a 3.65 ERA and 77:30 K:BB over 69 innings covering 13 starts and one relief appearance this season with Sacramento. Whisenhunt is serving as the 27th man, as the two clubs are allowed an extra roster space since Tuesday's suspended game was completed earlier Wednesday. The lefty will likely head back to Sacramento following the spot start.

Drawing start Wednesday Giants manager Tony Vitello has named Whisenhunt his starting pitcher for Wednesday's game in Atlanta, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Previously scheduled starter Robbie Ray will take the ball earlier Wednesday instead for the resumption of Tuesday's suspended game. That leaves the nightcap for Whisenhunt, who will be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to serve as the 27th man on the Giants' roster. Whisenhunt has spent all of this season with Sacramento, posting a 3.65 ERA and 77:30 K:BB over 69 innings. He will likely be sent back down following the spot start.

Could make 2026 debut Monday Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle relays that Whisenhunt could be called up from Triple-A Sacramento and start in the Giants' series opener against the Padres on Monday.

Impact Whisenhunt was unable to crack the Giants' Opening Day roster after struggling with his command and control during spring training. He hasn't exactly been much better in Triple-A, posting a 4.85 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 26 innings. However, he pitched well in his last start against Salt Lake on Tuesday, when he allowed one run on three hits while striking out eight across six innings without issuing a walk. Whisenhunt appeared in five major-league games for the Giants in 2025 and finished the season 2-1 with a 5.01 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 16:12 K:BB across 23.1 frames.

Bound for Triple-A The Giants optioned Whisenhunt to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Though Whisenhunt had shown improved velocity during spring training, he struggled with his command and control. Over four appearances (two starts) during Cactus League play, Whisenhunt was charged with 10 earned runs on eight hits and eight walks while striking out 14 batters over 9.1 innings. With Whisenhunt sent down and with Hayden Birdsong (forearm) set to begin the season on the injured list, Trevor McDonald and Carson Seymour would appear to be first in line to join the San Francisco rotation if a spot were to open up.

Struggles in spring game Whisenhunt logged a blown save in Monday's 6-5 Cactus League win over the White Sox, allowing four earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two across 1.2 innings.

Impact Whisenhunt entered in the third inning and surrendered two singles and a double that led to two runs. He then allowed a walk and two doubles before being pulled in the fourth, as the White Sox took a 4-3 lead. On a more positive note, the southpaw averaged 95.6 mph on his four-seamer, a significant uptick from his average of 92.6 mph in 2025. The 25-year-old could compete for a spot in the bullpen ahead of Opening Day, but it wouldn't be surprising if he begins the season in Triple-A Sacramento's rotation. He recorded a 5.01 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 16:12 K:BB while giving up six long balls across 23.1 innings in five starts for San Francisco last season.

Velocity up in Giants camp Whisenhunt was sitting 96-97 mph during a simulated game Thursday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Delos Santos notes that the readings were courtesy of Trackman, so it's a legitimate velocity increase for Whisenhunt, who averaged 92.6 mph with his four-seamer last season. It will be interesting to watch whether the southpaw is able to carry the velocity spike into Cactus League play and the regular season, as it could help spur a breakout. Whisenhunt entered spring training likely on the outside looking in for a spot in the Giants' rotation after holding a 5.01 ERA and 16:12 K:BB over 23.1 innings covering five starts in 2025.

Fans two in rehab game Whisenhunt allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out two across three innings in Triple-A Sacramento's 4-2 loss to Round Rock on Sunday.

Impact Whisenhunt was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 31 due to a back strain but appears to be nearing a return to the big leagues. He made his first rehab appearance against Round Rock last Tuesday, giving up three runs (two earned) over 1.2 innings while tossing 25 of his 39 pitches for strikes. The left-hander stretched out slightly Sunday, throwing 46 pitches (30 strikes). If the 24-year-old returns to the majors ahead of the regular-season finale Sunday, he'll likely replace Trevor McDonald or Kai-Wei Teng in the rotation.
