Whitley allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out six over 2.2 innings for Double-A Corpus Christi on Friday.
Whitley returned to the mound Friday after a second stint on the disabled list, this one because of right lat discomfort. Corpus Christi and San Antonio were tied in the 11th inning when the game was suspended due to weather and will resume Saturday. The right-handed Whitley appears to have been on a pitch count, getting pulled after just 48 pitches and having retired the final seven batters faced, six via the strikeout. If the Hooks, who are up 2-0 in the semifinal series, advance to the finals, Whitley can get at least one more start before his offseason activity.
