Roupp (knee) tossed a 25-pitch bullpen session at Oracle Park on Friday, MLB.com reports.
Roupp isn't expected to pitch again this season after landing on the 15-day injured list Aug. 22 due to a left knee bone bruise, but his ability to get back on the mound just under a month after suffering the injury suggests that he'll be in line for a relatively normal offseason. The 27-year-old proved to be a serviceable member of the rotation when healthy in 2025, logging a 7-7 record with a 3.80 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 102:45 K:BB in 106.2 innings.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Not expected back this season
Rotowire
Roupp (knee) isn't expected to return from the 15-day injured list this season, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Roupp is working his way back from a deep bone bruise in his left knee, and the Giants aren't keen on rushing him along in the recovery process. The right-hander should have a relatively normal offseason and come to spring training with a leg up on a rotation spot for 2026. Roupp collected a 3.80 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 102:45 K:BB over 106.2 innings covering 22 starts in 2025.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Bone bruise confirmed
Rotowire
A second opinion on Roupp's left knee confirmed a deep bone bruise, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Roupp initially believed he had torn his ACL when he was struck by a comebacker last Wednesday, but his official diagnosis ended up being much less severe. He's expected to miss roughly four weeks, which could mean he's thrown his final pitch of 2025, but it leaves him in a much better position to begin the 2026 campaign at full health.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Diagnosed with bone bruise
Rotowire
Thursday's MRI revealed Roupp has a bone bruise in his left knee, and the pitcher will seek out a second opinion, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
It's a generally positive result for Roupp, who was struck by a comebacker and fell awkwardly during Wednesday's start before requiring a cart to exit the field of play. While Roupp is on the IL, Carson Whisenhunt should fill the open spot in the rotation.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Officially lands on 15-day IL
Rotowire
The Giants placed Roupp on the 15-day injured list Friday with left knee inflammation.
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 suffered a sprained left knee during his start in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Padres and is scheduled to undergo an MRI later this week, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Roupp is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list after he was struck by a comebacker in the bottom of the third inning and needed to be carted off the field. The right-hander -- who took the loss while allowing five earned runs on five hits and two walks over 2.1 innings -- now owns a 3.80 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 102:45 K:BB through his 22 starts on the season. The severity of his injury won't be known until the results of his MRI are available, but Roupp will land on the IL for the second time in two months and could be at risk of missing the rest of the season.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Carted off after being hit by liner
Rotowire
Roupp was removed from Wednesday's game against the Padres after he was struck in the right leg by a comebacker in the bottom of the third inning, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Roupp was hit in the right leg 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, striking out a pair of batters and allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks. The Giants should have an update on the severity of Roupp's injury after the game.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Rough return from injury
Rotowire
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.
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.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Activated ahead of start
Rotowire
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.
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.
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.
Giants' Landen Roupp: Works three innings in rehab start
Rotowire
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.
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.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Close to rehab assignment
Rotowire
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.
Roupp is making good progress in his recovery from right elbow inflammation and will likely require just one or two rehab starts before he makes his return from the 15-day injured list. The right-hander posted a 3.11 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 95:42 K:BB across 101.1 innings prior to landing on the shelf July 25.
Roupp (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
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.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Making progress in recovery
Rotowire
Roupp (elbow) threw 35 pitches off flat ground Tuesday and is expected to continue pitching at the Giants' complex in Arizona while the team is on its six-game road trip, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Roupp was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, due to right elbow inflammation. The right-hander will continue ramping up and is expected to return shortly after he's first eligible Aug. 6. Roupp may go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Giants during their next homestand, per Rubin.
