Overview

  • Roupp left Wednesday’s 8-1 loss to the Padres after a Ramón Laureano liner and was carted off with a brace on his left knee.
  • Melvin said imaging shows a bone bruise to Roupp’s left knee and cautioned he will not return in just a day or two.
  • The right-hander was officially placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, leaving his return timeline undetermined.
  • He had been reinstated last week after missing three starts with right elbow inflammation, underscoring the rotation’s strain.
  • The Giants recalled lefty Carson Whisenhunt from Triple-A to start Friday in Milwaukee; Roupp is 7-7 with a 3.80 ERA over 106.2 innings.
