"Whisenhunt, 25, made his MLB debut last year and was tagged for a 5.01 ERA in 23 1/3 innings. He also logged a 4.43 ERA in 107 2/3 Triple-A frames. Formerly ranked among the sport's top 100 prospects, Whisenhunt saw his strikeout rate plummet by nearly eight percentage points last season, checking in at 20.9%, though he did so with a career-best 7.7% walk rate."
"Rodríguez, 23, came to the Giants as part of the Camilo Doval trade with the Yankees last July. He had a huge spring (.353/.405/.559 in 37 plate appearances) but will head to Sacramento for additional development time. He's coming off a strong .307/.393/.403 showing in 565 plate appearances spent mostly in Triple-A last year."
"San Francisco signed Adrian Houser and Tyler Mahle this offseason, adding that pair of veterans to a group of incumbents led by, and Landen Roupp. That quintet will open in rookie manager Tony Vitello's rotation, with righty JT Brubaker providing a swing option in the 'pen."
The San Francisco Giants optioned two young prospects to Triple-A Sacramento. Left-hander Carson Whisenhunt, 25, made his MLB debut last year with a 5.01 ERA in 23 1/3 innings and a 4.43 ERA in Triple-A. His strikeout rate declined significantly to 20.9%, though his walk rate improved to 7.7%. Catcher Jesús Rodríguez, 23, acquired via the Camilo Doval trade with the Yankees, had an impressive spring but will develop further in Sacramento. Both players remain top prospects in the organization. The Giants' rotation features veterans Adrian Houser and Tyler Mahle alongside incumbents, with Whisenhunt available as injury depth.
