Roupp was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
With Roupp unavailable after starting Friday and the Giants' bullpen lacking fresh options, Trevor McDonald was summoned to take the roster spot. Roupp has legitimate starter stuff, led by an elite curveball, but he has never logged 110 innings in a season and is already 26.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Stuck with second loss
Rotowire
Roupp (1-2) allowed six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Cardinals.
Roupp had allowed multiple runs in just one of his previous four outings (three starts). He didn't fare so well Friday, allowing one run in the first and third innings before slipping significantly as the Cardinals rallied in the fourth. Roupp finishes his first major-league season with a 3.58 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 47:26 K:BB over 50.1 innings across 23 appearances (four starts). He could be optioned out for a fresh bullpen arm as the Giants prepare for their last two games of the year.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Fares well in start
Rotowire
Roupp (0-1) took the loss against the Brewers on Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out three over five innings.
The Brewers piled on four of their five hits against Roupp in the first inning, leading to two runs and a lead they would never give back. Roupp totaled 68 pitches and only allowed an infield single over the subsequent four innings following his rocky opening frame. He's maintained a 1.33 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over nine appearances (20.1 innings) since Aug. 9. It remains to be seen whether Roupp's next appearance will be made as a starter or out of the bullpen and will likely hinge on whether the Giants are able to get Robbie Ray (hamstring) back from the injured list next week.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Starting Tuesday's contest
Rotowire
Roupp will start Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
It will be the first major-league start for Roupp, who fired 61 pitches over four scoreless relief innings in his last appearance Thursday versus the Diamondbacks. The righty has split time between the rotation and bullpen this season at Triple-A Sacramento, but he hasn't gone more than four frames in any outing in the majors and minors in 2024; therefore, he'll be relatively limited from a workload perspective.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Covers four scoreless innings
Rotowire
Roupp allowed a hit and two walks while striking out five over four scoreless innings of relief in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Over two stints in the majors since Aug. 9, Roupp has allowed just one run while posting an 18:9 K:BB over 15.1 innings in a long-relief role. He struggled at times earlier in the year but now has a 3.41 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB over 31.2 innings across 19 relief appearances this season.

In his four major-league outings after being recalled from Sacramento on Aug. 9, Roupp allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over 6.2 innings.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Tagged for three runs in relief
Rotowire
Roupp worked 2.2 innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Dodgers, giving up three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three.
Heading into Sunday, Roupp had been residing on Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list, but he had made three rehab appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. Rather than having him slot back into the Sacramento rotation Sunday, the Giants instead called him up from the minors to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen. Roupp ended up piggybacking starter Spencer Bivens, who tossed five innings of one-run ball before leaving the game. With the rotation having been hit hard by injuries lately, the Giants could have two openings during the upcoming week, but Bivens pitched well enough to earn one of those spots. Roupp could be an option for the other spot if Kyle Harrison (ankle) isn't ready to return from the 15-day injured list by the weekend.

Giants' Landen Roupp: In midst of rehab assignment
Rotowire
Roupp (undisclosed) made his third rehab appearance in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Wednesday, striking out four over two perfect innings.
Roupp has resided on Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list since May 24 with an unspecified injury, but he looks to be close to a return to action in the Pacific Coast League. He's cruised through his first three outings in the ACL, punching out 12 while not issuing a walk and allowing just two hits over five shutout innings. The injury came at an unfortunate time for Roupp, who possesses a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster and might have been under consideration to join the injury-riddled big-league rotation had he been healthy.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Shelved at Triple-A
Rotowire
Triple-A Sacramento placed Roupp on its 7-day injured list Friday with an unspecified injury.
Roupp won a spot on the Giants' Opening Day roster as a multi-inning relief arm, but he was sent back to Triple-A on May 1 and had since taken on a rotation spot for Sacramento. Through three starts, Roupp posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.20 WHIP while striking out 16 over 9.2 innings. The injury comes at a particular inconvenient time, as the Giants might have had an opening in the rotation for Roupp this week after recently pulling the plug on Mason Black as their No. 5 starter.
