Will get another start
McDonald will start Wednesday's game at home versus the Diamondbacks, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis
With Logan Webb (knee) slated to rejoin the rotation this weekend, it could be McDonald's final start with the big club before he's sent back to Triple-A Sacramento. McDonald has offered more good than bad with the Giants but was roughed up his last time out, yielding seven runs over 3.2 frames.

Roughed up by White Sox
McDonald (2-1) allowed seven runs on three hits, one walk and two hit batsmen while striking out four over 3.2 innings to take the loss versus the White Sox on Friday.
Analysis
McDonald was perfect the first time through the order but completely unraveled in the fourth inning. He was pulled after giving up five runs, but Ryan Borucki also struggled, allowing two inherited runners to score. This was a terrible time for McDonald to have a bad start, as it came on the same day Logan Webb (knee) was making his first, and likely only, rehab start. McDonald is now at a 4.76 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB through 22.2 innings over four starts in the majors this year. His performance Friday likely made the Giants' decision easier when they need to clear a 26-man roster spot for Webb's return next week, though an official decision from the team is likely a few days away.
