Giants Rotation Thins After Roupp, Trades, Devers Deal

News summary

The San Francisco Giants' starting rotation has been further depleted after right-hander Landen Roupp, their No. 3 starter, was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Roupp, who has delivered a strong 3.11 ERA over 101 1/3 innings, is optimistic about a quick return following encouraging MRI results. In addition to Roupp's absence, the Giants recently traded both Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks to Boston in exchange for slugger Rafael Devers, leaving the club with only three healthy starters. The team has recalled reliever Tristan Beck to help, but uncertainty remains about how to fill two open rotation spots. Giants management has acknowledged the pressing need for starting pitching and is reportedly exploring divisional trade targets as the July 31 deadline nears. The situation highlights the team's shift in priorities to address pitching depth in pursuit of playoff contention.
