Jun 13 2025Webb (4-3) was credited with the win in Friday's 3-1 victory over the White Sox, allowing one hit and no walks over two scoreless innings of relief. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb gave the Rangers two spotless innings amid a bullpen game for the club, registering his fifth scoreless outing in a row. The 31-year-old right-hander should work as a middle reliever and occasionally a high-leverage arm going forward. On the campaign, Webb owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB with five holds over 31.2 innings.
May 28 2025Webb (2-3) took the loss in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Toronto after allowing two runs on two hits in the ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was tasked with keeping the game tied in the ninth frame but served up a two-run home run to Bo Bichette (back), who came off the bench as a pinch hitter. Robert Garcia was brought on to handle Anthony Santander, Vladimir Guerrero and George Springer in the eighth, which was likely viewed by manager Bruce Bochy as the higher-leverage situation. Webb may have hurt his chances at seeing future ninth-inning work in Texas' bullpen, and he now owns a 5.47 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB over 24.2 frames.
May 12 2025Webb picked up the save in Monday's 2-1 win versus Colorado, allowing one hit and one walk over a scoreless inning with no strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Texas right-hander entered the contest in a difficult situation, as Luke Jackson departed after taking a Ryan McMahon line drive off his right arm to open the ninth. After loading the bases, Webb locked down the win to collect his first save since May 8, 2024 when with the Orioles. Chris Martin would be the likely candidate to fill in as the Rangers closer if Jackson misses any time; however, Webb would likely step into Martin's setup role.
Dec 11 2024The Rangers signed Webb to a one-year, $1.25 million contract Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was non-tendered by the Orioles last month but has landed on his feet with a major-league deal. The 31-year-old posted a 3.02 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 56.2 regular-season innings with Baltimore in 2024.
Nov 22 2024The Orioles non-tendered Webb on Friday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb spent most of the 2024 regular season in the majors and posted a 3.02 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 56.2 innings, though he did pitch with Triple-A Norfolk in September while on rehab assignment due to right elbow inflammation. His ERA and WHIP numbers were his best since the 2019 season with Atlanta, but the 31-year-old will now enter free agency and should draw interest from teams looking to bolster its bullpen with right-handed pitching.
Sep 26 2024Webb (2-5) allowed two hits and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Yankees on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A rare inefficient start from Zach Eflin saw Webb take over to get the final out of the fifth inning with the Orioles leading 8-3. They held on the rest of the way, giving Webb his first victory since June 1. He's been a little shaky with two runs allowed over 4.2 innings since he returned from a six-week absence due to an elbow injury. Webb is now at a 3.15 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 55:27 K:BB while adding two saves, 13 holds and a blown save over a career-high 54.1 innings this season.
Sep 15 2024The Orioles reinstated Webb (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb will rejoin the Baltimore bullpen for the first time since early August after completing his recovery from right elbow inflammation. Prior to being activated, Webb made four rehab appearances between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk, tossing 3.1 innings while allowing four earned runs on five hits and two walks. He'll likely serve as a lower-leverage or middle-relief option for the Orioles.
Sep 1 2024Webb (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb, who has been on the 15-day injured list since Aug. 7 with right elbow inflammation, will likely require at least another rehab appearance after Sunday before the Orioles would feel comfortable activating him. The right-hander has been a key late-inning arm for Baltimore in 2024, notching one win, two saves and 12 holds while compiling a 3.08 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 49.2 frames.
Aug 27 2024Manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Webb will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk within the next several days, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb landed on the injured list Aug. 7 with elbow inflammation and has been throwing since Aug. 17, and he has now been given the green light to return to a competitive environment. The Orioles skipper didn't say exactly how many appearances Webb will make in the minors before returning to Baltimore's bullpen, though it shouldn't take him very long to build back up.
Aug 17 2024Webb (elbow) played catch Saturday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb has been on the shelf since Aug. 7 due to elbow inflammation and Saturday appears to be the first time he's played catch since. Initial indications were that Webb wouldn't need to miss much more than the minimum 15 days, but he seems to be at least a week or two away from returning.
Aug 10 2024Testing on Webb's right elbow showed no structural damage Saturday, and his stay on the injured list is expected to be short, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was placed on the injured list Wednesday with inflammation in his throwing elbow, and further testing confirmed that he isn't dealing with anything severe. General manager Mike Elias said Saturday that Webb's elbow was "barking," but it seems that Webb could return shortly after the minimum 15 days. The Orioles called up Bryan Baker from Triple-A Norfolk to fill Webb's spot on the active roster.
Aug 7 2024The Orioles placed Webb on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow inflammation. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's not clear when Webb's elbow began bothering him, but his last appearance came Saturday, when he went 1.2 scoreless innings against the Guardians. Bryan Baker was called up from Triple-A Norfolk to take Webb's spot in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster.
Jul 24 2024Webb (1-5) allowed a run on a hit and a walk over one inning, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb kept runs off the board in the sixth inning but put a runner on base to start the seventh. Cionel Perez then walked one and gave up two hits as the Marlins rallied for a 6-3 lead, with the decisive run ending up on Webb's line. Prior to Wednesday, Webb had allowed just two hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven scoreless innings in July. The right-hander is at a 2.64 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB while adding two saves and 12 holds through 44.1 innings this season.
Jun 15 2024Webb (1-4) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and one walk while striking out one over one inning to take the extra-innings loss versus the Phillies on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alec Bohm delivered a two-run double in the 11th inning, and the Orioles couldn't produce a fourth comeback in the contest. That play ended an 11-inning scoreless streak for Webb, who has been steady in a setup role for Baltimore this season. Overall, he has a 1.95 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB while adding two saves and seven holds across 32.1 innings. Webb's 4.2 BB/9 is not outside of his usual level of performance but is still high, so he may have trouble sustaining his strong ratios over a full season.
Jun 2 2024Webb (1-3) walked one and struck out one over 2.1 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the win over the Rays on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb has kept runs off the board over his last 5.2 innings. He was called on early Saturday as Kyle Bradish struggled over 2.2 innings, but Webb was able to set the tone as the Orioles' five relievers gave up just four baserunners over the rest of the contest. Webb is at a 2.08 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 24:13 K:BB with two saves and five holds across 26 innings this season. He continues to see some work as a setup man while also often pitching in the middle innings.
May 22 2024Webb (0-3) allowed a run on one walk over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss in Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals after it resumed Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb walked Ivan Herrera before exiting the contest in the sixth inning. Keegan Akin proceeded to give up a two-run home run to Nolan Gorman, but Webb was responsible for the go-ahead run. Over seven innings in May, Webb has allowed five runs (three earned) with a 6:9 K:BB. He's still earned some high-leverage looks despite his shaky control, and he's sporting a 2.66 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 21:12 K:BB through 20.1 innings overall. He's added two saves and four holds over 24 appearances, but the bulk of the closing duties are expected to belong to Craig Kimbrel or Yennier Cano.
May 13 2024Webb (0-2) allowed an unearned run on one hit over 1.1 innings to take the extra-inning loss versus the Blue Jays on Monday. He did not strike out or walk a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was charged with an unearned run when Keegan Akin allowed the initial runner to score in the 10th inning after he relieved Webb. The 30-year-old Webb hasn't given up an earned run in 6.2 innings, posting an 8:3 K:BB while allowing two unearned runs in that span. He's at a 1.47 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB through 18.1 innings overall while adding two saves and three holds this season.
May 8 2024Webb earned an extra-innings save against the Nationals on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on one hit while striking out one batter over one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Usual Baltimore closer Craig Kimbrel was unsteady again Wednesday, as he was pulled with two outs in the ninth inning after giving up a solo homer and a walk. The game ultimately went into extra frames, and Webb was called upon to shut Washington down after the Orioles took a two-run lead in the top of the 12th. Luis Garcia opened the inning for Washington by doubling home the automatic runner, but Webb was able to bounce back by retiring the next three batters to earn a save. Kimbrel's hold on the closer role could be starting to slip given that he's given up six earned runs over his past five outings covering 2.1 frames, but if he does end up getting demoted at some point, Yennier Cano would likely be the favorite to take over the closer role, so Webb doesn't figure to see more than an occasional unpredictable save chance.
Apr 30 2024Webb earned the save Tuesday against the Yankees, striking out three in 1.1 perfect innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb struck out Aaron Judge for the final out in the eighth inning before setting the Yankees down in order in the ninth, earning his first save this season. While the 30-year-old Webb was impressive against the heart of New York's batting order, he isn't likely to see many save chances going forward in Baltimore -- Craig Kimbrel (back) and Yennier Cano were both likely unavailable Tuesday. Webb sports a 2.03 ERA on the season with a 0.90 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 13.1 innings.
Apr 26 2024Webb (0-1) allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one without walking a batter over one inning to take the extra-inning loss Friday versus the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb allowed the initial runner to score on a Brent Rooker double in the top of the 10th inning, and the Orioles were unable to come back from that. After opening the campaign with a 6.1-inning scoreless streak, Webb has been charged with four runs (three earned) over his last 5.1 innings. The right-hander still has a solid 2.31 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 13:3 K:BB and one hold through 12.2 innings over 14 appearances. He's not likely to be a regular in the late-inning mix, but it's a role he can fill when the Orioles' bullpen is thin.
Mar 30 2024The Orioles reinstated Webb (personal) from the paternity list Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb missed the Orioles' season opener Thursday due to the birth of his child. He earned the last spot in Baltimore's bullpen by posting a 4.91 ERA over 7.1 innings in spring training.
Mar 28 2024The Orioles placed Webb (personal) on the paternity list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb had been on track to secure a spot in the Orioles' Opening Day bullpen at the conclusion of spring training, but he'll have to wait a bit to make his season debut while he takes some time away from the team to observe the birth of his child. Per MLB rules, Webb can stay on the paternity list for 1-to-3 days before he would have to be added back to the 26-man active roster.
Mar 25 2024Webb is in line to make the Orioles' Opening Day roster after the team sent down Jonathan Heasley on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb had a 4.91 ERA over 7.1 innings across seven Grapefruit League outings. Between the Orioles and the Angels last season, he recorded a 3.69 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 57:30 K:BB across 53.2 innings. The right-handed reliever hasn't been confirmed for the roster just yet -- there's a lot of roster churn just before Opening Day, and it's always possible the Orioles could snag an extra reliever from outside the organization, which could bump Webb off the major-league roster at the last minute.
Feb 6 2024Webb will earn $1 million in 2024 after winning his arbitration case against the Orioles on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb posted a 3.27 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 22 innings after he was claimed off waivers by the O's in August, earning himself a $260,000 raise from last season. The 30-year-old righty projects as a middle reliever heading into 2024.
Oct 1 2023Webb pitched to a 3.27 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB over 22 innings after he was claimed off waivers by the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb also had six holds after joining Baltimore. The 30-year-old right-hander pitched fine with the Angels to begin the year with a 3.98 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 34:20 K:BB across 31.2 innings, but he was able to improve his efficiency while becoming a trusted part of the Orioles' bullpen. They'll look for that to continue in the postseason.
Aug 7 2023The Orioles claimed Webb off waivers from the Angels on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb, who turns 30 later this month, had a 3.98 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 34:20 K:BB in 31.2 innings for the Angels this season before getting designated for assignment over the weekend. He's out of minor-league options, so he will assume a low-leverage role once he is able to join the Orioles in Baltimore for this week's series against the Astros.
Aug 5 2023The Angels designated Webb for assignment Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb made it through Friday's appearance without allowing a run, but he walked three batters, and that was apparently the last straw for Los Angeles. The 29-year-old righty has handed out 20 free passes and served up six homers in 31.2 innings in the majors this season. Kenny Rosenberg was added in a corresponding move.
Jun 15 2023Webb picked up the save Thursday against the Rangers. He allowed one walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb stepped into a high-leverage situation after Carlos Estevez walked the first three batters of the ninth to load the bases with no outs. However, he managed to escape the jam allowing just one run to pick up his first save of 2023 and the fourth of his career. In 11 appearances (13.1 innings) this season, Webb sports a 2.03 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP to pair with a 2.8 K/BB as one of the Angels' top bullpen arms.
May 21 2023The Angels selected the contract of Webb from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb signed a minor-league contract with the Angels in November, and while he didn't make the Opening Day roster, the right-hander will now have a chance to work in the middle innings. He's one of several new additions to the Angels' bullpen, and he'll be a mid-innings option for the Halos while with the club.
Jun 16 2022Webb was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was acquired from Arizona in exchange for cash considerations when Collin McHugh hit the COVID-19 injured list in early June. With McHugh now healthy again, he'll exit the active and 40-man rosters. Despite spending nine days with the team, Webb didn't appear in a single game.
Jun 7 2022Atlanta acquired Webb from Arizona on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta placed reliever Collin McHugh on the COVID-19-related injured list to open up room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Webb, who is back with the organization after he was previously waived and claimed by the Diamondbacks in April. Webb has pitched exclusively at the Triple-A level this season, but he supplied a 4.19 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 34.1 innings with Atlanta in 2021.
May 20 2022Webb was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was added to the big-league roster Wednesday after being claimed off waivers by Arizona in April, though he didn't see game action during his brief time in the majors. Webb struggled in five outings with a 12.46 ERA, and he'll continue to travel with the Diamondbacks for now as a member of the taxi squad.
May 18 2022Webb was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks in mid-April, and he made five relief appearances at Triple-A Reno. He posted a 12.46 ERA and 2.44 WHIP in 4.1 innings but will join the major-league club as bullpen depth after southpaw Kyle Nelson (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Wednesday.
Apr 19 2022Arizona claimed Webb off waivers from Atlanta on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks cleared room for the right-handed reliever on the 40-man roster by designating outfielder Stuart Fairchild for assignment. Though Webb will begin his tenure in the Arizona organization at Triple-A, a promotion to the Diamondbacks could come in short order, given the lack of established middle-relief options in the big-league bullpen. Webb owns a 2.47 ERA and .240 batting average against over 78 career MLB relief appearances.
Mar 28 2022Atlanta optioned Webb to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One of Atlanta's more impressive relievers in the 2019 and 2020 seasons, Webb's performance took a major step back during the team's run to the World Series in 2021. He worked almost exclusively in low-leverage spots last season, accruing one save and no holds over 34 appearances while logging a 4.19 ERA and 1.51 WHIP. With Atlanta improving its relief ranks this offseason with the pickups of Kenley Jansen and Collin McHugh, the team had no room in its Opening Day bullpen for Webb.
Oct 26 2021Webb was left off Atlanta's World Series roster, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb has appeared in two playoff games this season, giving up four runs in 1.2 innings of work. Kyle Wright, who can give the team a bit more length, was included in Webb's place.
Oct 3 2021Webb recorded a one-out save Saturday against the Mets, allowing two walks and tossing a wild pitch. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb clinched his first save of the season Saturday as he recorded the final out of the game, but it wasn't a relaxed outing by any means -- he walked Michael Conforto and Pete Alonso to load the bases before retiring Jonathan Villar on a groundout. Webb has now tossed two straight scoreless outings, and if he doesn't pitch Sunday, he'll end the season with a 4.19 ERA over 34.1 innings.
Sep 21 2021Webb (5-3) earned the win in relief Monday against the Diamondbacks after tossing a scoreless inning, striking out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb pitched the fifth inning and was extremely effective, needing just 13 pitches (eight strikes) to get the job done. He extended his streak of appearances without allowing an earned run to 14 (15 innings) and continues to be a reliable arm out of the bullpen for Atlanta.
Sep 18 2021Webb (4-3) was tagged with the loss Friday against San Francisco after allowing an unearned run while walking two across two-thirds of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was tasked with pitching the 11th inning and ended just one out away from closing things out, but a sac fly from Kevin Gausman that scored Brandon Crawford changed the outcome of the contest. This was the first time Webb allowed a run since May 21, though, and for the most part, he's been a reliable arm for the Braves out of the bullpen.
Sep 3 2021Webb (2-2) earned the win Thursday against the Rockies after tossing two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb made his first appearance since being recalled earlier this week and looked in complete control of the situation, tossing 18 of his 26 pitches for strikes and cruising his way through the middle innings after piggybacking Touki Toussaint's short three-inning outing. The right-hander has been up and down the big-league roster over the last few months, but he has not allowed a run in any of his last six appearances at this level.
Sep 1 2021Webb was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Aug. 17, and he allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six in 3.2 innings across four minor-league appearances since then. However, he'll provide an extra arm in Atlanta's bullpen since active rosters expanded Wednesday. The right-hander will serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever since he has a 4.29 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 21 innings across 20 appearances with Atlanta in 2021.
Aug 17 2021Atlanta optioned Webb to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb's demotion clears a spot on the active roster for starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled outing Tuesday in Miami. During his four-day stint with the big club, Webb made two appearances out of the Atlanta bullpen, tossing a scoreless frame in both outings.
Aug 13 2021Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb has been passable enough in his 19 major-league innings this season, though his 4.74 ERA and 20.0 percent strikeout rate certainly won't lead to many high-leverage opportunities. He owns a far better 2.21 ERA in 20.1 frames for Triple-A Gwinnett, backed by a strong 34.1 percent strikeout rate. Kyle Muller was optioned in a corresponding move.
Jul 8 2021Webb was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Tuesday, and he allowed two hits and no walks while striking out one in two scoreless innings Wednesday. The right-hander will now return to the minors after Pablo Sandoval was reinstated from the restricted list Thursday.
Jul 6 2021Webb was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was sent to the minors in late June, and he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out nine in 4.2 innings across four relief appearances during his most recent stint at Triple-A Gwinnett. The right-hander should reclaim a low-leverage role in Atlanta's bullpen after he posted a 5.29 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 17 innings across 17 relief appearances in the big leagues earlier in the season. Pablo Sandoval was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.
Jun 21 2021Atlanta optioned Webb to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As expected, Webb's stay with the big club lasted just one day while he served as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals. He went unused out of the bullpen in both ends of the twin bill.
Jun 20 2021Webb was recalled by Atlanta as the 27th man for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb has made 17 relief appearances with the big-league club this year and has posted a 5.29 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 17 innings during that time. The right-hander will be an option out of the bullpen in Sunday's nightcap but could return to the minors after the twin bill.
Jun 19 2021Webb was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Thursday and allowed no hits and a walk in a scoreless inning Friday. He's posted a 5.29 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 17 innings across 17 relief appearances in the majors this year.
Jun 17 2021Webb was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb has pitched 16 times at the big-league level this season, struggling to a 5.63 ERA and 1.88 WHIP. Kyle Muller was optioned in a corresponding move.
Jun 6 2021Atlanta optioned Webb to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb's latest stint with the big club lasted all of one day. He went unused Saturday in Atlanta's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers, and he'll now head back to Triple-A with the big club calling up Shane Greene from Gwinnett in a corresponding move.
Jun 5 2021Webb was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb had been in the minors since May 22, and he tossed three scoreless innings across three relief appearances with Triple-A Gwinnett. He'll now return to the major-league bullpen after left-hander Grant Dayton (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day IL.
May 22 2021The Braves optioned Webb to Triple-A Gwinnett after Friday's blowout win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was clearly rattled after drilling Kevin Pillar in the face Monday and has been unable to settle down, allowing five hits and a walk in 1.1 innings since. The righty has been inconsistent all season out of the bullpen and now yields his roster spot to Bryse Wilson.
May 20 2021Webb (1-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits while recording just one out in the tenth inning Thursday, taking the loss to the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb allowed three singles before recording his only out in the tenth inning, surrendering the lead to the Pirates. The 27-year-old doesn't receive many high-leverage innings for Atlanta, however, he got the chance Thursday and couldn't come through. He carries a 6.00 ERA and a team-high 1.80 WHIP, struggling to stay consistent between appearances.
May 8 2021Webb (1-1) won Saturday's 8-7 game over Philadelphia, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb came on in the twelfth and allowed three runs to cross the plate, thanks in part to his own throwing error, yet still won the game due to the Atlanta comeback. An inflated 6.55 ERA proves he isn't typically utilized in high-leverage situations.
Apr 13 2021Webb (0-1) was charged with the loss in Monday's game against the Marlins after surrendering two runs (one earned) on three hits in the 10th inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It did not take long for Webb to see some action after he was called up to the active roster Saturday. Unfortunately, Webb's first outing of 2021 was not great. The first three batters he faced notched hits against him, allowing the go-ahead runs to score. While he was able to retire the next three batters and limit the damage, he was still left with the loss. The 27-year-old has previously shown some ability to be a bullpen contributor, compiling a 1.06 ERA and 38:17 K:BB across 42.1 innings for Atlanta in 2019 and 2020.
Apr 10 2021Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb was called up Wednesday to serve as the 27th man for the doubleheader against the Nationals, and he'll remain in the major-league bullpen after Chris Martin (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Webb made eight relief appearances for Atlanta last year and tossed 10 scoreless innings while striking out 10.
Apr 7 2021Atlanta recalled Webb from its taxi squad ahead of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be designated as the 27th man for the twin bill, meaning he'll likely be removed from the active roster following the pair of games. Though Webb failed to win a spot on Atlanta's Opening Day roster, he's been effective through parts of two seasons in the big leagues, posting a 1.06 ERA across 42.1 career innings.
Mar 24 2021Atlanta optioned Webb to its alternate training site Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb's case for a spot in Atlanta's Opening Day bullpen appeared to be strong after he worked 10 scoreless innings over his eight appearances in 2020, but the fact that he has minor-league options remaining likely worked against him. Atlanta is evaluating non-roster invitees Carl Edwards and Nate Jones for spots in the bullpen, while two other relief candidates in Luke Jackson and Grant Dayton already possess 40-man roster spots but no longer have minor-league options.
Sep 8 2020The Braves reinstated Webb (shoulder) from the 45-day injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After completing his rehab for the strained right shoulder he suffered late in summer camp, Webb is finally ready to make his 2020 debut. The 27-year-old was a key cog in the late innings for Atlanta as a rookie last season, posting a 1.39 ERA while collecting two saves and nine holds across 36 appearances. Since he missed the first month and a half of the season, Webb could work mostly in lower-leverage situations initially as the Braves look to ease him back into the bullpen mix.
Jul 21 2020Webb was placed on the 45-day injured list with a right shoulder strain Tuesday, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb could have played a role in Atlanta's bullpen this season, as he produced a strong 1.39 ERA in his 32.1-inning debut last year, but he'll now be sidelined for at least the majority of the campaign. It's not clear when he's expected to return, but he won't be eligible to do so until early September.
Mar 6 2020Webb was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb posted a 1.39 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 32.1 innings for the Braves last season and appeared to have a promising chance to make the Opening Day roster, but he'll instead begin the season at Triple-A. The 26-year-old actually struggled at Gwinnett last year with a 6.97 ERA, so he'll look to get off to a better start in 2020.
Mar 2 2020Webb (elbow) will make his second appearance of the spring Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb missed the second half of last season with an elbow issue which eventually required arthroscopic surgery. While the Braves have been cautious with him early in camp, he should still have time to build up by Opening Day. He's so far faced just a single batter in Grapefruit League action.
Feb 27 2020Manager Brian Snitker said Webb (elbow) is healthy and throwing well during Braves camp, but the right-hander is still about a week away from being cleared for his Grapefruit League debut, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Snitker had similar comments about fellow reliever A.J. Minter (shoulder), who is being brought along slowly this spring after his 2019 season ended in early September due to injury, just as Webb's did. The delay in the two pitchers' schedules probably won't put either at risk of missing Opening Day, though the fact that both have minor-league options remaining could factor into Snitker's roster decisions. Webb seemingly has a better case for a spot in the Atlanta bullpen by virtue of his performance last season prior to requiring arthroscopic elbow surgery. Over his 36 appearances, Webb posted a 1.39 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB in 32.1 frames.
Feb 13 2020Webb (elbow) is throwing without any restrictions, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As expected, Webb is on track to be ready for the start of the 2020 season after missing the second half of the 2019 campaign with a right elbow impingement that ultimately required surgery. The 26-year-old should reprise his role in Atlanta's bullpen after posting a 1.39 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB across 32.1 innings last season.
Nov 16 2019Webb (elbow) is expected to be healthy in time for Opening Day, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Webb missed the second half of last season with a right elbow impingement that eventually required surgery. However, he should be recovered for the start of 2020, and he is expected to serve in the major-league bullpen after he was effective prior to his injury. The 26-year-old recorded a 1.39 ERA with a 28:12 K:BB over 36 appearances in 2019.
