McDonald Injury Shakes Giants Rotation | San Francisco Giants News

Giants pitcher Trevor McDonald’s season may be on the brink after being placed on the 15-day injured list with a concerning right elbow strain — a setback that could mean Tommy John surgery or a quick recovery. With 14 starts and a 5.12 ERA, McDonald’s innings load suggests he was auditioning for a bigger role next year. His absence opens the door for Tristan Beck to join the bullpen, temporarily expanding it to nine arms — but the Giants will likely need another starter soon, with Carson Whisenhunt poised to step in and possibly become a regular this season.
