MILWAUKEE — San Francisco Giants<\/a> pitcher Landen Roupp<\/a> was placed on the 15-day injured list with left knee inflammation Friday after he was hit by a batted ball and carted off the field in his most recent start.<\/p>\n

A line drive from San Diego’s Ram\u00f3n Laureano hit Roupp in the third inning of the Giants’ 8-1 loss to the Padres on Wednesday. The ball appeared to hit Roupp in the right leg, but he hurt his left knee while reacting on the play.<\/p>\n

“Based on what we were seeing, we were kind of holding our breath,” San Francisco manager Bob Melvin said before Friday night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>. “I think at least to this point, it’s good news. It’s just a bone bruise, but it’s a pretty good bone bruise. It’s not like he’ll be back in a day or so.”<\/p>\n

Melvin said Roupp will get additional opinions, but it doesn’t appear at this point the right-hander will require surgery.<\/p>\n

Roupp, 26, is 7-7 with a 3.80 ERA and 102 strikeouts in 106\u2154 innings this season.<\/p>\n

The Giants filled his roster spot by recalling left-hander Carson Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento.<\/p>\n

Whisenhunt, 24, is 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA in three starts for San Francisco and 9-5 with a 4.37 ERA in 19 starts for Sacramento.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug 22, 2025, 07:40 PM ET MILWAUKEE — San Francisco Giants pitcher Landen Roupp was placed on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-88867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
