US EditionGiants Right-Hander Landen Roupp Knocked Out of Game by Line Drive
Landen Roupp suffered a left knee sprain after a 95.7 mph comebacker caused him to stumble, leading to his placement on the 15-day injured list, Giants manager Bob Melvin said.
- San Francisco Giants pitcher Landen Roupp was hit by a 95.7 mph line drive from Ramon Laureano during the third inning of a game on August 20, 2025, in San Diego.
- In his second start since returning from right elbow inflammation, Roupp was hit by a line drive on his right hamstring, which resulted in an awkward movement that led to a sprain in his left knee.
- He collapsed to the ground clutching his knee, received immediate medical attention, and was carted off the field as Joey Lucchesi replaced him on the mound.
- Roupp has a 3.45 ERA, 7-6 record, and 100 strikeouts over 104 1/3 innings this season, and the Giants lost the game 8-1 to the Padres.
- Roupp will have an MRI to assess the extent of his injury and to determine if he will be able to return to pitching this season, prompting the Giants to explore alternative options for their starting rotation.
