Roupp, 26, was placed on the injured list on July 25 (retroactive to July 23) with right elbow inflammation after pitching five shutout innings against the Braves in Atlanta. The Giants said they believed Roupp’s injury was on the minor side, and Roupp only needed one rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento (three innings, two runs) before returning.

SAN FRANCISCO — When Matt Chapman returned from a badly sprained hand on July 5, he acknowledged that the injury hadn’t fully healed and that he expected to play through discomfort for the remainder of the season.

Losing Matt Chapman to the injured list for the second time this season hurt, but the Giants could at least take some solace in knowing that they had another natural third baseman -- Casey Schmitt \-\- who could replace him in the interim.
