Landen Roupp has been appointed the fifth starter for the Giants at the beginning of the season, following a solid spring training where he demonstrated control by allowing only one walk among 46 batters. This will mark Roupp's second consecutive season breaking camp in the rotation. Although Hayden Birdsong, who had an impressive 18:0 strikeout-to-walk ratio, performed well in spring training, he will serve in relief. Kyle Harrison was initially favored for the role but was optioned to Triple-A due to a delayed ramp-up caused by illness.
Landen Roupp has secured his position as the Giants' fifth starter for the season, showcasing significant improvement this spring with only one walk allowed in 46 batters faced.
Hayden Birdsong, despite a stellar spring performance, will start the season in relief, having posted an 18:0 strikeout-to-walk ratio but competing against Roupp for the rotation spot.
