IL stint expected to be brief Whisenhunt isn't expected to miss extended time due to the back strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Whisenhunt is eligible for activation Sept. 12, and he could have a good shot at returning on that date or close to it. The rookie left-hander holds a 5.01 ERA and uninspiring 16:12 K:BB over 23.1 frames covering five starts with the Giants this season.

IL stint expected to be brief Whisenhunt is not expected to miss much time with the back strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Whisenhunt is eligible for activation Sept. 12, and it sounds like he will have a good shot to be back by that date or close to it. The rookie left-hander holds a 5.01 ERA and uninspiring 16:12 K:BB over 23.1 frames covering five starts with the Giants this season.

Out with back strain The Giants placed Whisenhunt on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a back strain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The left-hander presumably suffered the injury during his start Wednesday against the Cubs, during which he picked up the win after allowing three runs across five innings. Whisenhunt will be eligible to be reinstated in mid-September, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point. Kai-Wei Teng was called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move and will take Whisenhunt's place in the rotation Monday at Colorado.

Picks up win Wednesday Whisenhunt (2-1) earned the victory over the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over five innings.

Impact All three runs Whisenhunt allowed came on a second-inning homer off the bat of Nico Hoerner. Following that long ball, Whisenhunt settled in to retire nine of the final 12 batters he faced. The southpaw completed five frames for the first time over his past three starts, though he has yet to complete six innings in any outing this season. That partly has to do with a lack of control -- Whisenhunt has issued multiple free passes in all five of his MLB appearances on the campaign and has a poor 16:12 K:BB through 23.1 frames. Nonetheless, he has a 2-1 record and seems set to remain in San Francisco's rotation, with his next start scheduled to take place in Colorado next week.

Remaining in rotation Whisenhunt is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Oracle Park.

Impact Optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 12 after turning in a 5.02 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB in 14.1 innings through his first three MLB starts, Whisenhunt received a call back to the Giants less than two weeks later when an injury to Landen Roupp (knee) reopened a spot in the rotation. Whisenhunt took the hill Friday in Milwaukee and kept the Brewers off the board through the first three frames, but he struggled in his second turn through the batting order and was ultimately tagged for two earned runs on four hits, two walks and one hit batsman across four innings before being lifted from the contest. Despite Whisenhunt's poor numbers in the big leagues to date, he'll receive at least one more start while the Giants are short on quality alternatives at Triple-A to replace him in the rotation.

Falls apart after strong opening Whisenhunt didn't factor into the decision against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one over four innings.

Impact The rookie left-hander cruised through the first three frames, allowing only two hits, before unraveling in the fourth as the Brewers pushed across two runs, including one on a wild pitch. Whisenhunt has struggled to find his footing at the big-league level, posting a 4.91 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB across 18.1 innings this season, but looks to remain in the rotation until Landen Roupp returns.

Call-up official The Giants recalled Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his start against the Brewers on Friday.

Impact Whisenhunt officially joins the 26-man roster, taking Landen Roupp's (knee) place as Roupp heads to the injured list. Whisenhunt, a 24-year-old, made his MLB debut earlier this season and has made three starts with the Giants. He posted a 5.02 ERA and a 12:7 K:BB across 14.1 innings. Whisenhunt's numbers at Sacramento weren't much better, tallying a 4.37 ERA and a 92:32 K:BB across 103 innings.

Confirmed as Friday starter The Giants recalled Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento, and he will start Friday's game versus Milwaukee, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Whisenhunt made his MLB debut earlier this season and has started three games for the Giants in 2025, turning in a 1-1 record, 5.02 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 14.1 innings. He's surrendered five home runs across those three outings. Whisenhunt is not a recommended streamer against Milwaukee's high-powered lineup.

AUGUST 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to start Friday Whisenhunt has been added to the Giants' taxi squad and appears likely to start Friday's game in Milwaukee, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The Giants have a pair of rotation spots open following the injury to Landen Roupp (knee) and demotion of Kai-Wei Teng. One of those slots will be filled by Whisenhunt, who has made three starts for the Giants this season, collecting a 5.02 ERA and 12:7 K:BB across 14.1 frames. The lefty is not a desirable streaming option against a tough Brewers lineup.
