Landen Roupp will open the season as the San Francisco Giants' No. 5 starter.

Fantasy Impact

Roupp had a strong spring, posting a 3.75 ERA and 0.75 WHIP while striking out 14 batters in 12 innings. Pitching in a pitcher-friendly park, he's worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues.

It is down to Landen Roupp and Hayden Birdsong for the final spot in the Giants rotation.

Kyle Harrison was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday. Roupp and Birdsong have both pitched well in spring training with the competition coming down to the wire.

Landen Roupp remains in contention for the Giants’ final rotation spot, per team updates, competing with Hayden Birdsong and Kyle Harrison, as manager Bob Melvin noted Sunday.

Roupp battles Birdsong’s 0.75 ERA and 18:0 K:BB over 12 spring innings and Harrison for the Giants’ last rotation slot, with Melvin eyeing all three for 2025 roles. No decision’s set yet. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should roster Roupp, banking on his early camp buzz for potential Opening Day value if he edges out the competition.

Landen Roupp is the frontrunner for San Francisco’s fifth rotation spot or a long relief role, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Roupp’s dazzled with 8.1 scoreless innings and an 11:1 K:BB this spring—outpacing Kyle Harrison’s 12.27 ERA skid—making him a roster lock with a ground-ball-heavy sinker-curveball mix suited for Oracle Park. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should snag him; he’s a sneaky home-streaming gem with time to cement the gig.

Landen Roupp threw his cutter four times in his start on Thursday.

The four cutters thrown by Roupp all went for strikes. Across two starts, he has allowed one hit over five scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and one walk.
