Giants' Landen Roupp: Falls to Chicago
Rotowire
Roupp (2-3) took the loss against the Cubs on Monday, allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and no walks while striking out four batters.
Roupp demonstrated good control, throwing 57 of 77 pitches for strikes, but he didn't miss many bats, notching just five whiffs. The right-hander gave up a two-run homer to Ian Happ in the third inning, and the other pair of runs he allowed were both unearned. Though Roupp took the loss, he at least pitched better than in his previous two starts -- in those outings, he allowed nine runs (seven earned) over eight frames while walking six batters. He's so far managed to hang onto a rotation spot despite posting a subpar 4.89 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 35 innings.

Giants' Landen Roupp: Yields four earned in no-decision
Rotowire
Roupp didn't factor into the decision of Thursday's 6-5 win over the Brewers. He allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.
Roupp was tagged for a run in three of the four innings he pitched, including three in the fourth frame. He was lifted after tossing 78 pitches (44 strikes) with only five whiffs, and his two punchouts were his lowest across five starts this season. Roupp has given up four earned runs in two of his last three outings, and he has a 4.91 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings for the campaign. Roupp's next start is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Padres.
Giants' Landen Roupp: Punches out nine for second win
Rotowire
Roupp (2-1) struck out nine and earned the win Saturday against the Angels after giving up two runs on five hits and a walk across seven innings.
The right-hander surrendered a pair of solo homers to Mike Trout but otherwise shut down the Halos to pick up his second consecutive victory. Roupp has showed off his strikeout potential early in 2025 with at least eight punchouts in three of his four starts, though his 4.09 ERA and 1.36 WHIP is otherwise middling. A home matchup with the Brewers likely awaits for his next turn through the rotation.
Roupp (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out eight.
Despite a shaky first inning in which the Phillies plated three runs, Roupp impressed in this 101-pitch outing over which he generated an incredible 20 whiffs. After the three-run first frame, the right-hander settled in and didn't allow another run until a Nick Castellanos solo homer in the fifth. Roupp now sports a 4.80 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB over 15 innings. The 26-year-old is currently slated to make his next start on the road against the Angels this weekend.
Roupp (0-1) took the loss Tuesday as the Giants were downed 1-0 by the Reds, allowing one run on seven hits over six innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.
it was the first career quality start for the 26-year-old right-hander, who tossed 51 of 80 pitches for strikes before begin lifted from his pitchers' duel with Nick Lodolo. Roupp sports a 3.60 ERA and 12:4 K:BB through 10 innings over his first two outings of the season, but he lines up for a tough test his next time out, on the road early next week in Philadelphia.
Roupp didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Houston after allowing three runs on four hits and four walks in four innings. He struck out eight.
While Roupp handed out four free passes that drove up his pitch count to 83, he still fanned a career-high eight Wednesday. A Yordan Alvarez single in the fifth inning resulted in two of his earned runs, both of which scored as inherited runners after being pulled. Roupp doesn't figure to have a long leash as a starter, with Hayden Birdsong looming in the bullpen, but he tentatively lines up for a softer matchup at home against the Reds early next week.
Giants' Landen Roupp: Picked over Birdsong for rotation
Rotowire
Roupp will open the season as the Giants' fifth starter, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
He was locked in a heated battle with Hayden Birdsong, who will open the season in the Giants' bullpen. Roupp received the nod after allowing five runs with a 14:1 K:BB over 12 innings during Cactus League play. The 26-year-old made four starts and 19 relief appearances with the Giants last season, finishing with a 3.58 ERA and 47:26 K:BB over 50.1 innings. Roupp doesn't have Birdsong's upside, but he is an interesting arm in his own right and deserves consideration in deeper fantasy leagues.
