Giants' Landen Roupp: Surrenders four runs in loss
Rotowire
Roupp (7-9) allowed four runs on four hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out one over 3.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Brewers.
Roupp was fine the first time through the order, but he ran into trouble in the third and fourth innings. The right-hander still pitched better in July than he did in June, allowing seven runs over 24.2 innings with a 15:8 K:BB this month. On the year, he has a 4.12 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 114:48 K:BB through 21 starts. Roupp's next start is projected to be at San Diego over the weekend.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Roupp didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals, allowing two runs on four hits over six-plus innings. He struck out seven without walking a batter.
The right-hander took a shutout into the seventh inning, but manager Tony Vitello left Roupp in a little too long as he surrendered a double to Vinnie Pasquantino and a homer to Salvador Perez before being lifted. Roupp had to settle for his 10th quality start of the season and his third straight in July -- over 21 innings this month he's produced a 1.29 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Brewers.
Roupp (7-8) earned the win Friday, allowing two hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings against the Mariners. He struck out two.
Roupp surrendered just one run over eight innings during his final start before the All-Star break versus Toronto on July 6, and he delivered another strong performance Friday to secure his second straight victory. The right-hander won five of his first six starts of the season and had a 2.55 ERA during that span before stumbling to a 5.77 ERA in his subsequent eight outings, but he's found his footing of late with a quality start in four of his past five appearances. Roupp will take a 3.98 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 106:45 K:BB across 104 frames into his next start, which tentatively lines up to come in Kansas City.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Bounces back with quality start
Rotowire
Roupp (6-8) earned the win over Toronto on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five batters over eight innings.
Roupp breezed through five scoreless frames before Kazuma Okamoto tagged him for a solo homer in the sixth. That ended up being the only run the right-hander allowed en route to his eighth quality start of the season. The outing was particularly impressive because Roupp logged a season-high eight innings after going a season-low 2.2 frames while walking six batters and allowing six runs in a loss to Arizona in his previous start. He's had some bad blowups this season, but overall Roupp has managed a survivable 4.27 ERA along with a 1.31 WHIP and 104:42 K:BB over 97 innings spanning 18 starts.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Pulled early Tuesday
Rotowire
Roupp (5-8) allowed six runs on five hits and six walks while striking out four over 2.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.
Roupp lacked control -- the six walks represented a season high. This was his shortest outing of the season and guaranteed that he ended a second straight month winless. He has gone 0-7 across his last 11 starts, allowing four or more runs in six of them. Roupp has a 4.55 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 99:40 K:BB through 89 innings over 17 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Blue Jays in his next outing.

While Roupp has now gone 10 starts without a win, he was solid overall Thursday en route to a second straight quality start -- he's given up just four runs across 12 innings while striking out 13 in his last two outings. Roupp has a 5-7 record this season with a 4.07 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 95:34 K:BB across 16 starts (86.1 innings). He's currently lined up to face the Diamondbacks on the road his next time out.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Quality start in no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Roupp didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out seven.
The right-hander was originally set to face Atlanta on Thursday, but his turn through the rotation got bumped after a rainout and he took advantage of a matchup against a less dangerous opponent. Roupp delivered his sixth quality start of the season on 98 pitches (57 strikes), and he was in line for the win before Sam Hentges coughed up the lead in the seventh inning. Roupp hasn't gotten into the win column since April 26, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 52:19 K:BB in 45 innings over nine starts since the beginning of May. He'll try to end that drought in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the A's.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Rebounds in no-decision
Rotowire
Roupp did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Roupp opened with five scoreless frames before allowing a solo homer in the sixth, departing one out shy of a quality start after throwing 98 pitches. It was an encouraging rebound for the 27-year-old, who had yielded eight runs while pitching through back discomfort in his previous outing Monday. He owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 77:30 K:BB across 69.2 innings this season and lines up for a home rematch against the Cubs next weekend.

Giants' Landen Roupp: On track to make next start
Rotowire
Roupp (back) threw a bullpen session Thursday and is on track to make his next scheduled start Saturday against the Cubs, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Roupp pitched through back discomfort in his previous start Monday in Milwaukee, but he's recovered well enough to avoid missing a turn in the rotation. The right-hander has accrued a 4.22 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 72:27 K:BB over 64 innings covering 12 starts this season.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Pitched through back discomfort
Rotowire
Roupp admitted Monday's 16-2 loss to Milwaukee that he pitched through back discomfort during his start, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Roupp was charged with eight runs on eight hits and five walks and needed 96 pitches to cover his four innings. The righty's velocity dipped significantly during the start, going from 95 mph to 90.8 mph in the fourth inning. Roupp said the back issue is "definitely less serious" than the one that cost him three months of the minor-league season in 2023, and he thinks he'll be "fine." The 27-year-old is lined up to take on the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Saturday in his next outing, but he'll need to get through a between-starts bullpen session first before being cleared to pitch in Chicago.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Lit up in second inning
Rotowire
Roupp (5-6) took the loss Monday against the Brewers, allowing eight runs on eight hits and five walks in four innings. He struck out four.
The second inning was a disastrous one for Roupp, who was clobbered for seven of his season-worst eight earned runs on the evening. Only half of his 96 pitches landed for strikes Monday, and the 27-year-old right-hander also tied a season high in walks allowed. Roupp will be trying to put Monday's dud in the rear-view mirror his next time out against the Cubs in Chicago, where he'll take a 4.22 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 72:27 K:BB over 64 innings.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Undone by rough fifth inning
Rotowire
Roupp (5-5) took the loss Monday against the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven over five innings.
Roupp looked sharp early and had allowed just one run through four innings, with the lone blemish being a Gabriel Moreno solo homer in the third. However, things unraveled in a wild fifth inning as San Francisco's defense committed two errors that led to a pair of unearned runs and forced an earlier than expected exit for the right-hander. Despite the loss, Roupp tied his season high with seven strikeouts, and the homer he allowed was only the third he has surrendered all season. He has now completed six innings just once over his last five starts but still owns a strong 3.30 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 68:22 K:BB across 60 innings. Roupp is scheduled to face the Rockies on the road Sunday.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Strong in no-decision
Rotowire
Roupp allowed one run on seven hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Roupp put together a strong start, but the Giants' bullpen squandered the lead in the ninth inning. This was Roupp's fifth quality start of the year, and it's the sixth time he's held an opponent to one run or fewer. This was also his first no-decision, ending a stretch of three straight losses. He's at a 3.27 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 61:21 K:BB through 55 innings over 10 starts. He has made gains in strikeouts while continuing to limit flyballs, which has served him well in preventing runs. Roupp is projected to make his next start at home in a rematch versus Arizona.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Strikes out eight in loss
Rotowire
Roupp (5-3) allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out eight over four-plus innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Pirates.
Roupp had a decent performance, but he struggled with his command and racked up 94 pitches (60 strikes). That led to a fairly early exit, and the Giants' bullpen ranged from shaky to full-blown disaster, giving the team's offense no chance to get Roupp off the hook. The eight strikeouts were a season high for the right-hander despite the short start. He's at a 3.09 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB through 43.2 innings across eight starts this season. Roupp is projected to make his next appearance in a tough road matchup versus the Dodgers.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Delivers 7.2 innings in fifth win
Rotowire
Roupp (5-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks over 7.2 innings against the Marlins. He struck out six.
Roupp's strong start to 2026 continued, as he worked past a Graham Pauley three-run homer in the second inning to log a career high in innings for a single game and pick up his fifth win. After issuing five free passes in his previous start against the Dodgers, Roupp allowed just two walks Sunday. Through 35.1 innings (six starts) this season, the 27-year-old owns a 2.55 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with a 37:14 K:BB and is tentatively scheduled to next pitch Saturday against the Rays.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Can't build on season-opening win
Rotowire
Roupp (1-1) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over 4.2 innings.
The seven punchouts were useful for fantasy managers who deployed the hurler, but there were few (if any) other positives to take away from Roupp's performance. His outing was particularly disappointing given the strong six innings of shutout ball he tossed against San Diego in his season debut Monday. Roupp was similarly up-and-down last season -- he had six outings of zero runs allowed and five of four or more runs permitted over 22 regular-season starts -- so consistency seems to be his biggest issue. He'll try to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come in Baltimore next week.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Struggling with walks
Rotowire
Roupp gave up two earned runs on four hits with four strikeouts and three walks over three innings during Friday's split-squad game against the Reds.
The right-hander had a 3.80 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 102:45 K:BB across 22 starts last season and is expected to begin 2026 as a back-end starter for the Giants. Roupp's walk rate has been a bit of a concern, and that's remained the case during spring training with five free passes through nine innings. The 27-year-old has excelled in terms of run prevention with a 3.73 ERA through his first 45 big-league appearances, but Roupp's career 1.45 WHIP is much less attractive.

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.

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.

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.
