Outlook Landen Roupp
Landen Roupp's Back Injury and Slumping Ratios Make Him a Risky Weekly Option
Roupp struggled mightily on June 1, yielding eight runs over four innings as his back tightened up mid-game. He remains questionable for his next turn in the rotation for the fourth-place Giants, who currently sit at 24-38 in the competitive NL West. Despite the injury cloud, our models show him still holding down his role as the team's number three starter when healthy.
The recent slide has inflated Roupp's ERA to 5.98 over the last 30 days, a stark contrast to our season projection of a 4.09 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. While his 10.35 K/9 this year highlights his intriguing strikeout upside, a 2.33 WHIP over the past two weeks suggests his command is seriously compromised by the physical discomfort.
With the week already underway, Roupp's scheduled second start on June 6 against the Cubs and Edward Cabrera is in jeopardy. Given his active injury status and a disastrous -7.50 fantasy point outing on Monday, our models recommend leaving him on the bench. Verdict: Sit.
