The SF Giants made a puzzling roster move on Tuesday as they demoted starting pitcher Carson Whisenhunt to Triple-A while recalling Tyler Fitzgerald and putting him in the lineup in right field tonight. The move does not make much sense at all.
Whisenhunt struggled in his last outing against the Washington Nationals and his overall numbers in his first three big league starts were not all that pretty. He has a 5.02 ERA in 14 and 1/3 innings pitched and gave up five home runs in that short span.
