Giants Place Landen Roupp on 15-Day IL with Left Knee Inflammation

San Francisco Giants pitcher Landen Roupp has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to left knee inflammation after being hit by a batted ball on Wednesday. Manager Bob Melvin described the injury as a "pretty good bone bruise" but noted it was "good news" as surgery does not appear to be required at this time. Roupp, 26, holds a 7-7 record with a 3.80 ERA and 102 strikeouts in 106⅔ innings this season. Left-hander Carson Whisenhunt has been recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to fill his roster spot.
