Giants starting pitcher Trevor McDonald leaves his Monday night start early due to elbow pain and is expected to undergo an MRI soon. Multiple reports indicate that the results will determine his next steps, and that he is likely to be placed on the injured list if the MRI confirms an injury. The reports do not provide additional medical details or the specific extent of the elbow issue at this time. McDonald’s exit ends his outing earlier than planned, and the team’s decision on roster moves and his availability for upcoming games is pending the imaging results. Until the MRI is performed and reviewed, his status remains uncertain beyond the expectation that he could miss time.
