Last Thursday, Buster Posey went on the San Francisco Giants flagship radio station KNBR and said he wasn’t concerned about the projected remaining innings for Landen Roupp and Hayden Birdsong the rest of the season, even though they were on track to blow past their personal records. Eight days later, and both players are out of the rotation. Birdsong with a case of pitching bad for a while and now Landen Roupp with elbow inflammation.
Roupp last appeared on Tuesday in Atlanta and would’ve been set to start again on Sunday in the finale against the Mets.
