With Justin Verlander placed on the injured list, Carson Whisenhunt emerges as a top candidate for the San Francisco Giants pitching rotation. As the organization's No. 2 overall prospect, Whisenhunt has impressed in Triple-A with a 3.00 ERA and 52 strikeouts over 51 innings. His recent performance earned him the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week honor twice this season. However, he faces competition from seasoned players Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison, prompting excitement but cautious optimism from management about Whisenhunt's potential promotion to the majors.
"The better you throw, and when you can sustain it at Triple-A, of course you definitely start to pay attention." - General Manager Zack Minasian
