2026 Fantasy Outlook
Whisenhunt began the season with Triple-A Sacramento and was called up just after the break to make his major league debut. He split the second half between the majors and minors, including a visit to the 15-day IL for a sore back. On the farm, Whisenhunt improved his walk rate from the previous season, but at the cost of fewer strikeouts. Command and control issues resurfaced during his brief MLB stint, as he walked 16 and surrendered six home runs in only 23.1 innings. Whisenhunt's three-pitch repertoire is suitable for both starting and relieving roles. The Giants have several candidates for the back end of their rotation, so Whisenhunt's pathway of least resistance to the majors is as a long reliever/swingman; however, he needs to demonstrate better control and command in spring training. Giants' pitchers are always appealing at home. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March of 2026.
Recalled ahead of Tuesday's start
The Giants recalled Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis
Whisenhunt will start Thursday's game at Oracle Park against the Rockies. While the intention seems to be for it to be merely a spot start, Whisenhunt might tempt the Giants to keep him around if he pitches well. The lefty permitted two runs and struck out two over five innings in his lone start for San Francisco earlier this season, and he's collected a 4.42 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 82:37 K:BB over 77.1 innings in 2026 at Sacramento.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Control woes continue to plague the Giants' top pitching prospect in 2024. Whisenhunt started 25 games for Triple-A Sacramento, registering an impressive 28.4 percent strikeout rate, but he also logged a generous 11.3 percent walk rate. The 24-year-old southpaw throws a 93-mph sinker, cutter, slider and change-up (which is his best pitch). Metrics like BABIP are unreliable in the Pacific Coast League, but the .369 mark Whisenhunt recorded last season is inflated. The lefty will likely open the year back with the River Cats, ostensibly working on throwing strikes. Last year, 63.7 percent of his pitches were strikes, but since the major league average was 64.3 percent, a modest improvement could put him in the mix for a rotation spot with the Giants. Considering only Logan Webb has a reliable track record, Whisenhunt could force the issue.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible trade chip
According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, Whisenhunt's name has come up in trade talks between the Cardinals and Giants.
Analysis
The left-hander would potentially be the trade return for Brendan Donovan, who is being shopped by St. Louis this offseason. Whisenhunt received his first taste of the big leagues in 2025 and had a 5.01 ERA, and his 4.43 ERA at Triple-A also left something to be desired.
