Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Logan Webb, the San Francisco Giants' ace and two-time All-Star, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 9, 2026, due to right knee bursitis. Webb has been dealing with knee discomfort for an extended period and was forced to leave his start against the Padres after just 4 innings on May 6, allowing 6 earned runs on 7 hits. This marks his first IL stint since 2021. Webb has struggled significantly in 2026, posting a 2-4 record with a 5.06 ERA and 1.396 WHIP across 8 starts. His strikeout rate has declined to 20.2% (below average), and opposing batters are hitting .275 against him. The Giants are currently 15-23 and at the bottom of the NL West. Webb is expected to return when first eligible on May 21.
