Giants call up left-hander Matt Wilkinson for MLB debut

The San Francisco Giants have announced the call-up of 23-year-old left-handed pitcher Matt Wilkinson. Wilkinson, who joined the Giants from the Cleveland Guardians in a trade, will make his MLB debut during a series against the Guardians. Despite struggling in AAA with a 5.15 ERA, the Giants are optimistic about Wilkinson's unique pitching style. He relies heavily on a low-velocity fastball, averaging just 89.9 mph. The team plans to make necessary roster adjustments for his activation.
