The Cubs signed Webb to a one-year contract Tuesday that includes a club option for 2027, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Webb was non-tendered by the Rangers last month even after posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 58:19 K:BB across 66 innings during the 2025 season. The 32-year-old right-hander should fill a middle-relief role in the Cubs' bullpen.

The Rangers non-tendered Webb on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Webb signed a one-year deal with the Rangers in December after spending the 2024 campaign with the Orioles, but the 32-year-old right-hander will now be on the lookout for a team in need of bullpen depth. He finished the 2025 regular season with seven holds along with a 3.00 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 58:19 K:BB across 66 innings.

The Rangers activated Webb (back) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Webb has been sidelined all month with back spasms but is ready to roll after making three rehab appearances with Triple-A Round Rock. The 32-year-old has offered decent results in middle relief for the Rangers this season and will return to that role.

Webb (back) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Webb landed on the IL at the end of July due to back spasms but is now entering the home stretch of his recovery. The 31-year-old shouldn't require too many rehab outings before being cleared to return to his middle-relief role in Texas, where he owns a 3.75 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 48 innings.

The Rangers placed Webb (back) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Webb may have started feeling symptoms during his last outing Monday against the Angels, when he allowed one run on two hits while striking out four across 1.2 innings. He'll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury and an estimated schedule for a return, but his absence will require the Rangers to lean more on Cole Winn and Caleb Boushley for relief work. The Rangers recalled Luis Curvelo from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Webb (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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Webb (2-3) took the loss in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Toronto after allowing two runs on two hits in the ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Webb 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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Rangers signed Webb to a one-year, $1.25 million contract Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Orioles non-tendered Webb on Friday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
