Scouting Report: Logan Webb

Summary

Logan Webb, 29-year-old Giants ace and two-time All-Star (2024-2025), was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 9, 2026, due to right knee bursitis. This marks his first IL stint in five years (since July 2021 back injury). Webb had been dealing with knee discomfort for an extended period but initially tried to pitch through it. He was removed after just 4 innings in his last start against the Padres on May 5, allowing 6 earned runs on 7 hits. Webb is eligible to return May 21 and is expected to require minimum IL time. However, his 2026 season has been significantly troubled: 2-4 record, 5.06 ERA, 1.396 WHIP, .275 opponent batting average across 8 starts. His performance represents one of the worst season starts of his career, raising questions about whether his best days may be behind him.
