Landen Roupp Reinstated from IL to Start for Giants

San Francisco Giants right-hander Landen Roupp has been reinstated from the injured list and is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Roupp was placed on the IL on July 25 due to right elbow inflammation, and recently completed a rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento where he allowed two runs in three innings. Prior to his injury, the 26-year-old posted a 3.11 ERA in 20 starts this season, demonstrating strong performance with a 2.05 ERA over his last 12 outings, relying on his sinker for groundouts and his curve or changeup for strikeouts.
