The San Francisco Giants faced a pitching shortage due to injuries to two starters, Carson Whisenhunt and Adrian Houser, just before a Saturday doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This situation necessitated a swift decision regarding their pitching depth.
- The Giants promoted right-handed pitcher Mason Miller directly from Double-A to make his Major League Baseball debut during this critical period. Miller's call-up was an immediate move to bolster the team's pitching rotation. This decision bypasses Triple-A, highlighting the urgency of the team's need. Miller will be the first Giants pitcher since 1964 to jump directly from Double-A to start a game. He is dedicating his MLB debut to his brother. The team currently has a limited number of available pitchers.
