Giants Pitcher Landen Roupp Goes on IL with Left Knee Inflammation After Getting Hit by Line Drive

Right-handed starter Landen Roupp, with a 7-7 record and 3.80 ERA over 106.2 innings, is sidelined following knee inflammation from a line drive impact.

  • On Friday, the San Francisco Giants placed right-handed starting pitcher Landen Roupp on the 15-day injured list with left knee inflammation and recalled left-handed pitcher Carson Whisenhunt to start.
  • In the third inning on Wednesday, Landen Roupp was struck by a line drive from Ramón Laureano and was carted off with a large brace; an MRI on Thursday indicated a bone bruise to his left knee.
  • Roupp had only just been reinstated last Friday following three missed starts with right elbow inflammation; through 22 starts, he posted a 7-7 record and 3.80 ERA over 106.2 innings.
  • Giants manager Bob Melvin said Landen Roupp likely won't need surgery but will seek additional medical opinions as injuries strain the Giants rotation.
  • With 34 games remaining, San Francisco Giants sit 6 1/2 games behind the New York Mets at 61-67, recalling Carson Whisenhunt, who is 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA in three MLB starts.
