After leaving Monday\u2019s 4-3 loss early with a right elbow strain, rookie right-hander Trevor McDonald has landed on the 15-day injured list with the same ailment.<\/p>\n

In a corresponding move, right-hander Tristan Beck was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento. Beck, 30, has appeared in eight games for the Giants this season, allowing eight runs over 10 2\/3 innings (6.75 ERA) with five strikeouts to two walks.<\/p>\n

McDonald went out to warm up for the bottom of the fifth inning but signaled to the dugout after feeling discomfort. Following a conversation with a trainer, McDonald exited the game after throwing just 67 pitches.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing that I wanted to chance right now,\u201d McDonald told reporters in Kansas City. \u201cSo I thought it was best to come out when I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDonald, 25, has had an inconsistent rookie season, posting a 5.12 ERA over 14 starts, but he\u2019s shown flashes of being a potential rotation mainstay. In his last start of the first half, for example, McDonald tossed seven innings of one-run ball against the Colorado Rockies, allowing just three hits and one walk.<\/p>\n

Left-hander Carson Whisenhunt is the likeliest candidate to step into the rotation with McDonald headed to the injured list.<\/p>\n

Whisenhunt, 25, has made two starts for the Giants this season, allowing four runs over 10 2\/3 innings (3.38 ERA) with six strikeouts. The rookie has fared well in Triple-A given the River Cats play in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, owning a 4.15 ERA and 3.93 FIP over 17 games (16 starts). In his last outing on Sunday, Whisenhunt pitched five scoreless innings with eight strikeouts to one walk.<\/p>\n
