Giants Pitchers Face Surgery Crisis | MLB News

Rookie pitcher Carson Whisenhunt’s season may be over after an MRI revealed a torn UCL in his elbow, potentially forcing Tommy John surgery — joining teammates Hayden Birdsong and Trevor McDonald on the operating table. The setback comes as Whisenhunt was just beginning to find his footing. Meanwhile, shortstop Willy Adames is dealing with a moderate UCL sprain in his non-throwing arm, also facing possible surgery after a rough slide. The Giants have called up Spencer Bivens to fill Whisenhunt’s roster spot, leaving the rotation to rely on Logan Webb, Landen Roupp, and others — with fringe pitchers now getting a crucial chance to step up. On the lighter side, outfielder Victor Bericoto suffered a mild knee bruise and will rehab for the week before re-evaluation.
