CARSON WHISENHUNT NEWS

Cruises to first win Whisenhunt (1-0) earned the win in Sunday's 12-4 contest against the Mets, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Impact The rookie southpaw dazzled in this 75-pitch outing, as he limited the New York lineup to just one extra-base hit to secure his first career victory. The only earned run on Whisenhunt's performance came in the opening frame when he conceded a 368-foot solo shot to Francisco Lindor. Through 10.1 total innings, Whisenhunt owns a 4.35 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB. Given this performance, the 24-year-old should continue to stick in the San Francisco rotation since he has looked sharper than Kai-Wei Teng, who allowed four runs in a five-inning no-decision Saturday. Whisenhunt currently lines up to make his next start against Washington at home next weekend.

Drawing another start Whisenhunt is slated to start Sunday's game against the Mets at Citi Field.

Impact Whisenhunt will remain in the rotation for at least one more turn after he had a so-so showing in his MLB debut against the Pirates on Monday, when he took a no-decision after giving up four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings. Landen Roupp (elbow) could be on track to return from the injured list by the end of next week, but the Giants will still have one rotation spot left over for either Whisenhunt or right-hander Kai-Wei Teng, who will be making his first MLB start Saturday. How Whisenhunt and Teng both fare this weekend may be a deciding factor in which of the two sticks around in the big-league rotation on a longer-term basis.

Yields four runs in MLB debut Whisenhunt completed five innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Monday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters.

Impact Whisenhunt retired the first two batters he faced before Nick Gonzales tagged him for a solo homer in the first inning. The rookie left-hander gave up three more runs in the second, but he was able to settle down and retire 10 of the final 12 batters he faced to end his outing with three scoreless frames. The strong finish could be enough to earn Whisenhunt another start for a San Francisco rotation short on healthy arms. If he does get another turn, Whisenhunt is tentatively lined up to face the Mets in New York this weekend.

Contract selected ahead of debut The Giants selected Whisenhunt's contract from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his start against the Pirates on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Whisenhunt is set to make his major-league debut Monday, three years after being selected by the Giants in the second round of the 2022 MLB Draft. The 24-year-old southpaw has an 8-5 record across 18 starts in Triple-A this season with a 4.42 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 86:28 K:BB across 97.2 innings. With Landen Roupp (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, a good outing would give Whisenhunt the opportunity to remain in the Giants' rotation.

JULY 28 • Associated Press

Set for major-league debut Whisenhunt is expected to be called up from Triple-A Sacramento and start Monday's contest versus the Pirates, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Whisenhunt is all geared up to make his major-league debut, which was considered a likely possibility in the near future. The 24-year-old has posted a 4.42 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with 86 strikeouts over 97.2 innings in 18 starts at Triple-A this season. With an impressive outing, Whisenhunt could stick with the major-league roster moving forward.

Impact In the wake of Hayden Birdsong getting demoted to Triple-A and Landen Roupp (elbow) landing on the injured list, the Giants have two openings in the rotation. The Giants will go with a bullpen day in Sunday's series finale versus the Mets, but the team will need to break in a bulk reliever or spot starter Monday or Tuesday, while Justin Verlander presumably takes the hill for one of the two contests. The decision to have Whisenhunt skip his start with Sacramento this weekend is a good indication that the 24-year-old lefty will soon be called upon to make his MLB debut. Though he owns an unremarkable 4.42 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 97.2 innings at Triple-A this season, Whisenhunt has done well to scale back the free passes, with his walk rate dropping from 11.1 percent with Sacramento in 2024 to 6.8 percent in 2025. If he is in fact called up this week, Whisenhunt could have a chance to stick around with the big club for multiple turns through the rotation.

Looking ready at Triple-A Whisenhunt has a 1.71 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and a 23:1 K:BB in 21 innings over his last three starts for Triple-A Sacramento.

Impact He gave up seven runs on nine hits and three walks with one strikeout in three innings April 25 against El Paso, but Whisenhunt has been lights out since, going seven innings per start. Whisenhunt sits 92-93 mph with his fastball, but the 24-year-old lefty has one of the best changeups in the minors and he mixes in his average slider roughly 30 percent of the time.

Impact Whisenhunt allowed one earned run, four hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings during Saturday's 5-5 tie in the Giants' Spring Breakout game against the Rangers. The 24-year-old has an elite changeup, and he worked on implementing a slider into his arsenal during his first full season with Triple-A Sacramento last year. Whisenhunt has yet to make an appearance in the big leagues, and he registered a 5.42 ERA over 25 starts with Sacramento last season, racking up 135 strikeouts over 104.2 innings. The left-handed pitcher could warrant a call-up during the 2025 campaign, especially if injuries arise for the parent club.
