Roupp missed most of 2023 and spent much of 2024 in the bullpen, throwing just 76 2/3 innings, making one wonder how he was going to hold up as a full-time starter for the Giants this season. He was already up to 101 1/3 innings -- just six off his career high from 2022 -- when he went on the IL last month with elbow inflammation.

Landen Roupp is returning to the rotation Friday versus the Tampa Bay Rays,leaving the Giants with an interesting roster decision ahead.The post San Francisco Giants Set For Key Roster Move Amid Injury Returnappeared first on Heavy Sports.

The losing streak has hit six games. The Giants are not only 59-63, but they’ve lost 14 of their last 15 games at home — something that hasn’t been done since 1901. The third NL wild card spot remains open as the New York Mets continue to free-fall, but San Francisco remains five games back as the losses pile up.

The San Francisco Giants are gaining back Landen Roupp from the injured list on Friday, and recent moves leave the roster in a bind.

On Friday, a series opener is on the schedule, with the Tampa Bay Rays (59-63) visiting the San Francisco Giants (59-62) at 10:15 p.m. ET. The Rays (+122 underdog moneyline odds to win) are away versus the Giants (-144). The Giants will give the ball to Landen Roupp (7-6) against the Rays and Joe Boyle (1-2).

Roupp is 1 2/3 innings shy of qualifying for leaderboards, but if he did, he would rank 15th in the NL in ERA. At home, he has been even better, posting a 1.85 ERA that ranks fifth in the league.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Landen Roupp (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. After that, the Giants will decide what's next for Roupp, who has been on the 15-day injured list since July 23 with elbow inflammation.
