Manager Bob Melvin confirmed doctors diagnosed Roupp with a bone bruise rather than a more severe injury, calling it good news, though the team placed the pitcher on <a href="https://www.espn.in/mlb/story/_/id/46052833/giants-landen-roupp-goes-il-good-news-knee" rel="noopener">the 15-day injured list</a> with knee inflammation.</p><p>Initial fears of a ligament tear were eased following Thursday’s MRI in San Francisco, which revealed only a significant bone bruise. Melvin stressed that Roupp will seek additional medical opinions, but surgery does not appear necessary.</p><p>“Based on what we were seeing, we were kind of holding our breath,” San Francisco manager Bob Melvin said ahead of Friday night’s matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers. “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><p>Roupp’s injury occurred in the third inning at Petco Park when San Diego’s Ramón Laureano lined a 95.7 mph comebacker that struck Roupp on his right leg. In his attempt to field the ball, Roupp’s left knee appeared to buckle, forcing him to collapse to the mound. Trainers rushed to help him as he grimaced in pain and briefly tried to stand before they carted him off the field wearing a knee brace. In just his second start back from the injured list after missing 19 games with right elbow inflammation, Roupp allowed five earned runs over 2 1/3 innings.</p><p>Roupp had emerged as a stabilizing presence in San Francisco’s rotation during his first full season as a starter. Through 22 starts in 2025, he holds a 7-7 record with a 3.80 ERA, 3.89 FIP, and 102 strikeouts across 106 2/3 innings. His absence is a major setback for a rotation that has been increasingly unstable behind veterans Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, and Justin Verlander.</p><p>The Giants’ pitching depth has thinned considerably in recent weeks. Hayden Birdsong and Kai-Wei Teng were both demoted after struggles at the big-league level, while Carson Whisenhunt was recalled Friday from Triple-A Sacramento to replace Roupp. Whisenhunt, 24, has logged a 1-1 record with a 5.02 ERA in three major league starts this year, alongside a 9-5 record and 4.37 ERA across 19 outings with Sacramento.</p><p>Roupp’s setback arrives at a difficult time for San Francisco. After three straight losses, the Giants sit at 61-67, six games under .500 for the first time in 2025, and trail the New York Mets by 6 1/2 games for the National League’s final Wild Card spot. With only 34 games remaining in the regular season, the Giants’ margin for error has evaporated.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team was expected to compete for a postseason berth this year with the additions of Justin Verlander, Willy Adames and Rafael Devers. But after losing eight of their last 10 games, manager <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/giants-rumors-bob-melvin-hot-seat-collapse">Bob Melvin is on the hot seat</a>.</p><p>And the beleaguered team suffered another misfortune Wednesday when promising second-year starter Landen Roupp left the game with an injury.</p><p>Roupp was drilled by a comebacker off the bat of San Diego Padres outfielder Ramon Laureano in the bottom of the third inning. The ball appeared to strike Roupp on the right thigh. But in an effort to avoid the liner, the 26-year-old hurler appeared to twist his left knee, which buckled as he fell on the mound.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Landen Roupp was carted off after taking a line drive off the leg.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SFGiants?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SFGiants</a> trail 3-0 | B3  <a href="https://t.co/0a3t4gjG8e">pic.twitter.com/0a3t4gjG8e</a></p><p>— SF Giants Update (@Giants__Update) <a href="https://twitter.com/Giants__Update/status/1958359190264824110?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 21, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>After <a href="https://x.com/jonmorosi/status/1958359538135896436" rel="noopener">getting checked on</a> by the Giants’ training staff, Roupp was carted off the field at Petco Park due to a left knee injury, per MLB Network’s Jon Morosi.</p><h2><b>Giants lose starter Landen Roupp to injury</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Landen-Roupp-2.jpg"><figcaption>Denis Poroy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Roupp struggled in just his second start since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/giants-news-giants-dealt-tough-injury-update-mets-clash">returning from the 15-day IL</a> with elbow inflammation. Following Manny Machado’s homer with one out in the third inning, Roupp walked Ryan O’Hearn and Laureano reached on an infield single. Joey Lucchesi relieved Roupp after the injury and immediately surrendered a three-run blast to Gavin Sheets.</p><p>Roupp allowed five runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings Wednesday. There is no word yet on the severity of his injury.</p><p>Prior to the poor outing, Roupp had filled out the Giants’ rotation nicely behind Logan Webb, Robbie Ray and Verlander. In his first full season as a starter, Roupp entered Wednesday’s contest with a 3.45 ERA, 113 ERA+ and 100 strikeouts in 104 1/3 innings.</p><p>Just two months ago the Giants were tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the NL West. San Francisco then landed Devers in a deal with the Red Sox, hoping the veteran slugger could help with a second-half push.</p><p>However, the team is 20-34 since trading for Devers on June 15. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/giants-news-1940-low-padres-sweep">Giants hit an 85-year low</a> while getting swept by the Padres in San Francisco last week. They dropped to to 15.5 games behind the Dodgers in the division. The team is six games back in the Wild Card standings.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
