Trevor McDonald - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Fans 10 in first career win McDonald (1-0) allowed three runs on five hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Friday.

Impact McDonald gave up a three-run home run to Ezequiel Tovar in the fifth inning but was otherwise quite stingy in a dominant win. This was McDonald's third appearance in the majors this year, and he finished the campaign allowing six runs over 15 innings while adding a 14:2 K:BB. It was a strong showing in his late-season audition, which reflects better than his 5.37 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 144:62 K:BB over 142.1 innings at Triple-A Sacramento. McDonald has likely done enough to be in the conversation for a big-league rotation spot in the spring.

Picking up another start McDonald is slated to start Friday's game against the Rockies in San Francisco.

Impact The rookie right-hander will be awarded another turn through the rotation after he showed well against the Dodgers in his first MLB start this past Sunday, striking out three while allowing one earned run on six hits and one walk over six innings. McDonald will look to build on that performance with another positive outing against the Rockies, which could improve his chances of being part of the Giants' Opening Day rotation in 2026.

Shows well in first start McDonald allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out three over six-plus innings in a no-decision Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Impact McDonald went pitch-for-pitch with Emmet Sheehan over the first six innings. In the seventh, McDonald put three straight batters on base, leading to the lone run on his line, before Spencer Bivens relieved him and put out the fire. McDonald has given up three runs while posting a 4:2 K:BB across eight innings over his two major-league outings this season. If he did enough Sunday to earn another turn through the rotation, that would likely come in a home matchup versus the Rockies in the final series of the season.

Drawing start Sunday McDonald will start for the Giants on Sunday against the Dodgers, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury Newsreports.

Impact McDonald made his 2025 debut Tuesday and pitched two innings, allowing two earned runs on three hits and a walk. He was fully stretched out at Triple-A prior to his promotion, so he should be able to handle a traditional starter's workload if the Giants desire. McDonald could also piggyback with Tristan Beck.

Cut from big-league camp The Giants optioned McDonald to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact McDonald made his major-league debut during the final game of the regular-season last year, tossing three scoreless relief innings, but he always seemed likely to begin the 2025 campaign back at Sacramento. The 24-year-old will represent rotation depth in the minors.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned to majors McDonald was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Impact The Giants are short on fresh arms for the final game of the regular season, so McDonald could make his big-league debut in relief of Hayden Birdsong. McDonald, a 23-year-old righty with decent stuff, logged 78.1 innings across High-A, Double-A and Triple-A this season.

Returns from 7-day injured list Double-A Richmond reinstated McDonald (groin) from its 7-day injured list Sunday.

Impact McDonald has resided on Richmond's IL all season but is finally ready to join the Giants' Eastern League affiliate after an extended rehab assignment that first kicked off May 14. In 10 total outings between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and High-A Eugene covering 24.1 innings, McDonald turned in a 4.44 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB.

JUNE 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out with groin injury McDonald is on the injured list at Double-A Richmond with a groin injury, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.

Impact McDonald is a nice sleeper prospect for dynasty leagues, as he has excellent control and could potentially get to pitch half his games in the pitcher-friendly park in San Francisco. In his age-22 season, McDonald logged a 1.33 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 51 strikeouts in 47.1 innings across 14 appearances in the lower levels of the minors. He averaged 94 mph with his two-seam fastball last year (touching 98 mph) and had a walk rate north of 70 percent. McDonald also sports a plus curveball, while mixing in a four-seamer and a slider.
