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.

Webb was reassigned Friday to the minor-league side of Angels camp.
EDGE Analysis
Webb impressed with 10 strikeouts over eight scoreless innings this spring in the Cactus League, but he'll open the 2023 season in the bullpen at Triple-A Salt Lake. He could be a contributor for the Halos at some point this year.

Webb signed a minor-league deal with the Angels on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb spent the entire 2022 season in Triple-A, splitting time with the Atlanta and Arizona organizations. He had effective seasons in the majors in both 2019 and 2020, so it's possible he contributes with the Angels in 2023.

Webb cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis

Webb was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb was acquired from Arizona in exchange for cash considerations when Collin McHugh hit the COVID-19 injured list in early June. With McHugh now healthy again, he'll exit the active and 40-man rosters. Despite spending nine days with the team, Webb didn't appear in a single game.

Atlanta acquired Webb from Arizona on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Atlanta placed reliever Collin McHugh on the COVID-19-related injured list to open up room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Webb, who is back with the organization after he was previously waived and claimed by the Diamondbacks in April. Webb has pitched exclusively at the Triple-A level this season, but he supplied a 4.19 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 34.1 innings with Atlanta in 2021.

EDGE Analysis
Webb gave up six earned runs in 5.1 innings at Triple-A this year. The move frees up a 40-man roster spot for Cole Tucker, who was claimed off waivers.
