The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing a trade decision after Blake Snell news.

The Pirates (45-62) will look to notch a series win against the Giants (54-53) and Justin Verlander at Oracle Park on Tuesday night.

Carson Whisenhunt, the San Francisco Giants' No. 3 prospect, made his Major League debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night. The Giants decided to start the clock on his MLB career at Oracle Park after moving starter Landen Roupp to the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation last week. Given that it was Whisenhunt's MLB debut, it was uneven.

Having ended a personal losing streak, Justin Verlander will turn his attention to the San Francisco Giants' current four-game skid when he faces the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. Winless in his first 16 starts as a Giant, Verlander (1-8, 4.70 ERA) finally broke through last Wednesday in Atlanta after giving up only one hit through five shutout innings in a 9-3 win. Despite having just one win, it was the ninth time this season in which the right-hander has allowed two or fewer earned runs.

The San Francisco Giants have signed catcher Diego Cartaya to a minor league contract, El Extrabase's Daniel Álvarez-Montes reported Monday night. Cartaya was released by the Minnesota Twins last Wednesday. The Twins took a flier on the Venezuelan backstop this past winter, picking him up in a trade after the Los Angeles Dodgers decided they were moving on.

President of baseball operations Buster Posey already swung the biggest trade of the year by acquiring Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox, the textbook definition of a win-now move. If the Giants make trades between now and 3 p.m. PST on Thursday, they will likely feature incoming talent. Given the Devers trade and given the standings, there are few scenarios where the Giants decide to become sellers.

The question is, what are the Mets willing to offer the Giants for Camilo Doval?

The arrival of the organization's top pitching prospect wasn't enough to stop the skid. Carson Whisenhunt overcame a rocky start as he allowed four runs over five innings in his major-league debut, but the Giants' losing streak hit four games as they fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5 on Monday night at Oracle Park. With Thursday's trade deadline looming, San Francisco has lost 10 of its last 12 games. With two vacancies in the rotation, manager Bob Melvin said pregame Whisenhunt will have an opportunity to earn a spot in the starting rotation if he pitches well.
