The Minor League Baseball roundups were on hiatus for a few days, so, sorry about that. Things got a little busy and I wasn’t able to wrap up the season conclusions for the AA Richmond Flying Squirrels (who went 56-79 and missed the postseason) and High-A Eugene Emeralds (who lost 3-1 in the Northwest League Championship).
The San Francisco Giants on Sunday placed rookie left-hander Carson Whisenhunt on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, due to a strained back.
The San Francisco Giants carousel in the rotation is continuing. After just one appearance back with AAA Sacramento, top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt is set for a return to the Majors, as he’ll start Friday’s series opener against the best team in baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers.
Tonight, the San Francisco Giants will take on San Diego Padres lefty Nestor Cortes, who has not been good this season, but he is left-handed. In last night’s post-game wrap, Mike Krukow joked about their being a website called “Scrapheaplefties dot com” which is where anyone can find a left-handed starter to foil the hapless Giants.
The stars were out in full force during the 2025 World Series. From Max Scherzer in Toronto to Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and of course, Shohei Ohtani, in Los Angeles, there was no shortage of the game's best under the brightest lights.
Carson Whisenhunt, the San Francisco Giants’ No. 3 prospect, made his Major League debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night. The Giants decided to start the clock on his MLB career at Oracle Park after moving starter Landen Roupp to the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation last week.
An exciting game, but another loss. The San Francisco Giants were backed into a corner on Monday night. Hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates — a team bursting with former members of the orange and black — the Giants were playing their second straight game absent an established starter.
The San Francisco Giants are calling on youth in a pivotal moment, as top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt prepares to make his Major League debut tonight against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Quite a pitcher carousel. We’ve known since Sunday night that left-handed pitcher Carson Whisenhunt, the top pitching prospect in the San Francisco Giants organization, would make his MLB debut tonight when the Giants host the Pittsburgh Pirates.
After being swept by the New York Mets over the weekend, the San Francisco Giants needed innings from the rotation after Hayden Birdsong was sent to Triple-A and Landen Roupp hit the injured list.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
The San Francisco Giants are set to promote top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt for his Major League debut on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Oracle Park.
Giants pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt will make his Major League debut on Monday as San Francisco’s scheduled starter against the Pirates. The move seemed to be in the cards since Whisenhunt was scratched from a planned Triple-A start on Saturday, and he arrived in the Oracle Park clubhouse today as a member of the Giants’ taxi squad.
The Giants’ rotation was a big strength early in the season but has struggled more of late. Fifth starter Hayden Birdsong was optioned to Triple-A earlier in the week, and it’s not entirely clear how they’ll fill out the rotation moving forward.
Carson Whisenhunt was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on October 20, 2000. He played high school baseball at David County High School in Mocksville, NC.
