"Last month, Giants starter Landen Roupp suffered what appeared to be a season-ending bone bruise in his left knee. San Francisco never officially moved the right-hander to the 60-day injured list. They now find themselves in a playoff race thanks to the Mets' recent eight-game losing streak, which leaves the door ajar for Roupp to make it back this year."
"Roupp has thrown a couple bullpen sessions in recent days. Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle noted over the weekend that there's a possibility for the second-year pitcher to come back in October if the Giants snag a playoff berth. That'd probably be in relief, as he hasn't thrown in a game setting since August 20. The Giants lost Carson Whisenhunt to a back strain a week after Roupp's injury."
"San Francisco made a move before tonight's game, recalling righty Trevor McDonald from Triple-A Sacramento. Keaton Winn, who pitched two innings in relief of Teng yesterday, was optioned out. The 24-year-old McDonald gave up two runs in as many innings in his first MLB appearance of the season. McDonald has occupied a spot on San Francisco's 40-man roster since the 2023-24 offseason."
Landen Roupp suffered a season-ending-appearing bone bruise in his left knee last month but has not been placed on the 60-day injured list and has resumed bullpen sessions. A return in October as a reliever is possible if the Giants reach the playoffs; Roupp has not pitched in a game since August 20. Carson Whisenhunt later suffered a back strain, leaving the rotation thin behind Logan Webb, Justin Verlander and others. Kai-Wei Teng has struggled to pitch deep into games. The club opened a bullpen game and recalled Trevor McDonald from Triple-A, optioning Keaton Winn.
