The Giants placed Roupp on the 15-day injured list Friday with left knee inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

The club is calling it inflammation for now, but Roupp underwent an MRI on Thursday and a more specific diagnosis could come Friday, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. Roupp was injured during Wednesday's start versus the Padres after being struck by a comebacker and then twisting awkwardly when he fell to the ground. Carson Whisenhunt is taking Roupp's spot on the roster and in the rotation.

Roupp has been diagnosed with a left knee sprain Wednesday and will undergo an MRI this week, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Roupp was hit in the right hamstring by a ball off the bat of Ramon Laureano, and his left knee also appeared to twist awkwardly as he fell to the ground. Trainers came out, and Roupp was eventually carted off the field. Prior to the injury, Roupp pitched 2.1 innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks. Roupp struck out a pair and also surrendered two home runs. Joey Lucchesi came on in relief of the injured Roupp.

Roupp allowed five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over three-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Roupp missed three weeks due to right elbow inflammation. He wasn't great in his return from the injured list -- aside from a tidy 12-pitch first inning, he struggled to keep the Rays in check. The 26-year-old is now at a 3.45 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 100:43 K:BB over 104.1 innings across 21 starts this season. When factoring in his three-inning rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento, Roupp's workload is equal to his career-high 107.1 frames from 2022, which came across three levels of the minors. That makes fatigue a risk over the last quarter of this campaign. Roupp is projected to make his next start at San Diego.

The Giants reinstated Roupp (elbow) from the injured list ahead of his start Friday against the Rays, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Right elbow inflammation sent Roupp onto the injured list in late July, but he's been cleared to return after allowing two runs and striking out four batters over three innings in a rehab start at Triple-A Sacramento. He'll be welcomed back to the majors by a Rays offense that has struggled to the tune of a .677 OPS since Aug. 1.

Roupp (elbow) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Friday's contest against the Rays, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roupp is set to make his return to action with the Giants after tossing three innings, allowing three runs on three hits while striking out four batters in a rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. The right-hander has been on the shelf since July 25 with right elbow inflammation, but he'll rejoin the major-league roster after just 20 days away. Roupp was limited to 50 total pitches in his rehab outing, so he'll likely be on a workload restriction in his return versus Tampa Bay.

Roupp (elbow) struck out four and allowed two earned runs on three hits and no walks over three innings in a rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

In his first appearance since landing on the injured list July 25 due to right elbow inflammation, Roupp flashed his normal velocity and exhibited good control, pumping 33 of his 50 pitches in for strikes. The Giants will likely want Roupp to push his workload up into the 75-pitch range before activating him from the IL, so he'll presumably require at least one more start in the minors.

Roupp (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday and could begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roupp is progressing through right elbow inflammation that caused him to land on the 15-day IL on July 25, but he could be cleared to embark on a rehab assignment depending on how his arm reacts to Friday's side session. Roupp posted a 3.11 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 95:42 K:BB across 101.1 innings prior to his injury.

Roupp (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roupp is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list Aug. 6, and while he will not be ready on that date, it shouldn't take much longer. The right-hander has missed the last two weeks of action with right elbow inflammation.
