Giants put Roupp on IL after ‘good news’ on knee

Giants put Roupp on IL after 'good news' on knee

MILWAUKEE —

Melvin said Roupp will get additional opinions, but it doesn’t appear at this point the right-hander will require surgery.

Roupp, 26, is 7-7 with a 3.80 ERA and 102 strikeouts in 106⅔ innings this season.

The Giants filled his roster spot by recalling left-hander Carson Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento.

Whisenhunt, 24, is 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA in three starts for San Francisco and 9-5 with a 4.37 ERA in 19 starts for Sacramento.
