Carson Whisenhunt to Begin Rehab Assignment on Tuesday
San Francisco Giants left-hander Carson Whisenhunt (back) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento and throw two innings on Tuesday. The rookie has been on the 15-day injured list with a back strain since Aug. 28, and he could rejoin a shorthanded Giants rotation when he returns. The Giants are also without Landen Roupp (knee), who suffered a season-ending knee injury in late August, leaving them scrambling to fill in their rotation as they vie for an NL wild-card spot. They'll start reliever Tristan Beck in a crucial game against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Whisenhunt, 24, has gone 2-1 with a 5.01 ERA, a 1.46 WHIP, and 16:12 K:BB over five starts and 23 1/3 innings since he received his first promotion to the majors in late July.
