Triple-A Sacramento
reinstated Whisenhunt (foot) from the 7-day injured list Saturday. He started in Sacramento's 5-4 win over Tacoma, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four over three innings in a no-decision.
ANALYSIS
Whisenhunt was out for a month with a foot injury and returned to Sacramento after pitching five scoreless innings over two rehab appearances at Single-A San Jose. He's struggled in his first taste of Triple-A, pitching to a 5.96 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 106:44 K:BB over 80 innings across 20 starts. A high walk rate has troubled Whisenhunt in the upper levels of the minors, though he still has elite strikeout stuff.
