Webb (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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Orioles placed Webb (personal) on the paternity list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Webb 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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Webb will earn $1 million in 2024 after winning his arbitration case against the Orioles on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Webb 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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Orioles claimed Webb off waivers from the Angels on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Angels designated Webb for assignment Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Webb picked up the save Thursday against the Rangers. He allowed one walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Angels selected the contract of Webb from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
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.
