DENVER — The San Francisco Giants have probably misplaced a key member of the rotation for the ultimate month of the 2025 season, a blow for a workforce hoping to complete above .500.
Proper-hander Landen Roupp, who made 22 begins this season for San Francisco, will probably miss the remainder of the common season due to left knee irritation that landed him on the injured listing on Aug. 22.

He in all probability desires to get again, however we’ll see the way it goes and when he begins throwing and getting on a mound once more. I believe it’s possibly simply as necessary to get him off a mound and throw and type of know going into the offseason. So, as of proper now, in all probability not.”
This marks Roupp’s second time on the injured listing this season as he missed time earlier in August with proper elbow irritation.
He made two begins after coming back from his elbow points, however was not efficient in both, giving up a mixed 10 hits and 10 runs (together with three dwelling runs) in simply 5.1 innings in what would ultimately be losses to the Detroit Tigers and San Diego Padres.
