Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Logan Webb, San Francisco Giants ace, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 9, 2026 with right knee bursitis. This ended his streak of 156 consecutive starts without missing a turn. Webb has struggled significantly in 2026, posting a 2-4 record with a 5.06 ERA and 1.396 WHIP through 8 starts. He was removed from a game against the Padres after just 4 innings due to knee discomfort. Despite being a two-time All-Star and 2023 Cy Young runner-up, Webb's performance has been concerning with a .275 opponent batting average and poor advanced metrics (hard-hit rate in 7th percentile, xwOBA in 33rd percentile). He is expected to make a minor-league rehab start and could return by late May with minimal IL time needed.
