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.

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.

Sent back to Triple-A The Giants Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay AreaWhisenhunt to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Impact Whisenhunt coughed up three runs in four frames during his start Saturday, elevating his ERA to 5.02 through 14.1 MLB innings. He'll now lose his place on the active roster to make room for Tyler Fitzgerald, who was recalled from Triple-A to provide additional bench depth. Landen Roupp (elbow) is nearing activation from the injured list and is the likely candidate to fill the open spot in San Francisco's starting rotation.

Hit hard in first loss Whisenhunt (1-1) took the loss Saturday as the Giants fell 4-2 to the Nationals, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.

Impact Four of the five hits off the rookie southpaw went for extra bases, including solo shots by James Wood, Paul DeJong and Josh Bell. Whisenhunt has been taken deep five times in his first 14.1 big-league innings, fueling a 5.02 ERA, but the Giants seem likely to keep him in the rotation at least until Landen Roupp (elbow) returns. Whisenhunt lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Rays.

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.

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.
