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.
Rocked in Tuesday's loss
McDonald (3-7) allowed eight runs on 11 hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over 2.1 innings as he took the loss Tuesday versus the Blue Jays.
Analysis
After posting six innings of one-hit ball versus the Diamondbacks to begin July, McDonald followed it up with his worst start of the season. Consistency has been an issue for McDonald, as this was the third time in 12 starts he's allowed five or more runs. He's now at a 5.46 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 50:20 K:BB through 59.1 innings this season. McDonald is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Rockies over the weekend.
