Landen Roupp on Track to Start on Saturday Against Cubs
San Francisco Giants right-hander Landen Roupp (back) threw a bullpen session of around 30 pitches on Thursday morning and said he felt good after he dealt with back discomfort in his last outing on Monday in Milwaukee against the Brewers, according to Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. Roupp said he is on track to make his next start, which would be on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. He was not himself earlier this week in Milwaukee, surrendering a season-high eight earned runs on eight hits while walking five and striking out four in four innings of work. In May, Roupp had at least seven strikeouts in three of his five starts during the month, and he's now 5-6 on the year with a 4.22 ERA (2.82 FIP) and 1.31 WHIP with 72 strikeouts and 27 walks in 64 innings over his 12 starts in his third year in San Fran. The 27-year-old has pitched better than his surface stats suggest, but he'll be pretty risky in starting fantasy lineups this weekend against a Cubs team that ranks eighth in baseball in OPS (.720).
