2026 Fantasy Outlook
After a three-inning with San Francisco appearance to close the 2024 campaign, McDonald spent most of last season with Triple-A Sacramento before joining the Giants for the final two weeks. With the River Cats, his command and control slipped from prior levels, and he was hit particularly hard. McDonald leans heavily on a sinker and slider, while occasionally mixing in a four-seamer and changeup. He appeared three times for the Giants, starting twice and totaling 15 innings with 14 strikeouts and two walks. San Francisco has several options for the back end of the rotation, which could push McDonald toward a bullpen role. To secure a spot, he'll need to regain his command and control. He's best suited as a swingman, where he could be effective when starting at home. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $780,000 contract with the Giants in March of 2026.
Logs quality start in loss
McDonald (2-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.
Analysis
McDonald was sharp Wednesday, blanking the Diamondbacks through five innings. However, he'd give up two runs in the sixth and another in the seventh, which proved to be enough to stick him with the loss in a 3-2 defeat. Still, it was a nice bounce-back performance from McDonald after he was tagged for seven runs in 3.2 innings his last time out against the White Sox. It remains to be seen whether or not the 25-year-old McDonald will remain in San Francisco's rotation, with Logan Webb (knee) expected to return this weekend.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
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 groundball rate north of 70 percent. McDonald also sports a plus curveball, while mixing in a four-seamer and a slider.
