Furthermore, the team recalled pitcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/rouppla01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Landen Roupp<\/a> from Triple-A, and Roupp is expected to pitch multiple innings behind Walker.<\/p>\n<h2>San Francisco Giants Place Blake Snell on Injured List<\/h2>\n<p>The injury continues a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/04\/21\/giants-blake-snell-rough-start\/\" target=\"_self\">rough start<\/a> to Snell&#8217;s season. The reigning Cy Young winner has an 11.57 ERA in 11 2\/3 innings across the starts this year. Many expected a slow start since Snell <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/03\/18\/blake-snell-new-home-giants\/\" target=\"_self\">signed so late<\/a> in Spring Training and is notoriously a slow starter.<\/p>\n<p>The lefty was expected to round into form after a handful of starts across April and May. However, Snell joining the injured list will surely set him and the team back a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the Giants are set up nicely to replace him last minute on Wednesday. The bullpen is largely rested after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/webblo01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Logan Webb<\/a>&#8216;s stellar eight-inning start on Tuesday. Plus, fresh arms like Roupp and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/whitemi03.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mitch White<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/04\/20\/giants-acquired-mitch-white-blue-jays\/\" target=\"_self\">joined the staff this week<\/a> and will be available.<\/p>\n<p>Roupp, 25, made San Francisco&#8217;s Opening Day roster after a stellar spring. He struck out 13 and gave up two runs in eight innings of work. However, he hasn&#8217;t had much success this season in eight relief appearances.\u00a0The righty sports a 4.35 ERA with a low strikeout rate in 10 1\/3 innings this year.<\/p>\n<p>MLB Pipeline ranks Roupp as the Giants 11th best prospect and places a back-end starter ceiling on him. Roupp creates sink and deception on his fastball with a lower arm slot but relies on a high spin wipeout curveball for success.<\/p>\n<p>Giants fans surely won&#8217;t be happy with his injury, but Wednesday&#8217;s news should give Roupp an opportunity to show his stuff across multiple innings.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credits: John Hefti-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just mere hours before the series finale against the New York Mets, the San Francisco Giants placed probable starter Blake Snell on the injured list with a left adductor strain.
