Webb was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old was added to the big-league roster Wednesday after being claimed off waivers by Arizona in April, though he didn't see game action during his brief time in the majors. Webb struggled in five outings with a 12.46 ERA, and he'll continue to travel with the Diamondbacks for now as a member of the taxi squad.

Webb was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks in mid-April, and he made five relief appearances at Triple-A Reno. He posted a 12.46 ERA and 2.44 WHIP in 4.1 innings but will join the major-league club as bullpen depth after southpaw Kyle Nelson (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Wednesday.

Arizona claimed Webb off waivers from Atlanta on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Diamondbacks cleared room for the right-handed reliever on the 40-man roster by designating outfielder Stuart Fairchild for assignment. Though Webb will begin his tenure in the Arizona organization at Triple-A, a promotion to the Diamondbacks could come in short order, given the lack of established middle-relief options in the big-league bullpen. Webb owns a 2.47 ERA and .240 batting average against over 78 career MLB relief appearances.

Webb was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb failed to make the Opening Day roster and has now lost his spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster. The 28-year-old had a 1.39 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 32.1 innings during 2019, but he had a 4.19 ERA and 1.51 WHIP last year. Atlanta selected the contract of Jackson Stephens in a corresponding move.

Atlanta optioned Webb to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
One of Atlanta's more impressive relievers in the 2019 and 2020 seasons, Webb's performance took a major step back during the team's run to the World Series in 2021. He worked almost exclusively in low-leverage spots last season, accruing one save and no holds over 34 appearances while logging a 4.19 ERA and 1.51 WHIP. With Atlanta improving its relief ranks this offseason with the pickups of Kenley Jansen and Collin McHugh, the team had no room in its Opening Day bullpen for Webb.

Webb was left off Atlanta's World Series roster, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb has appeared in two playoff games this season, giving up four runs in 1.2 innings of work. Kyle Wright, who can give the team a bit more length, was included in Webb's place.

Webb recorded a one-out save Saturday against the Mets, allowing two walks and tossing a wild pitch.
EDGE Analysis
Webb clinched his first save of the season Saturday as he recorded the final out of the game, but it wasn't a relaxed outing by any means -- he walked Michael Conforto and Pete Alonso to load the bases before retiring Jonathan Villar on a groundout. Webb has now tossed two straight scoreless outings, and if he doesn't pitch Sunday, he'll end the season with a 4.19 ERA over 34.1 innings.

Webb (5-3) earned the win in relief Monday against the Diamondbacks after tossing a scoreless inning, striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Webb pitched the fifth inning and was extremely effective, needing just 13 pitches (eight strikes) to get the job done. He extended his streak of appearances without allowing an earned run to 14 (15 innings) and continues to be a reliable arm out of the bullpen for Atlanta.

Webb (4-3) was tagged with the loss Friday against San Francisco after allowing an unearned run while walking two across two-thirds of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Webb was tasked with pitching the 11th inning and ended just one out away from closing things out, but a sac fly from Kevin Gausman that scored Brandon Crawford changed the outcome of the contest. This was the first time Webb allowed a run since May 21, though, and for the most part, he's been a reliable arm for the Braves out of the bullpen.

Webb (2-2) earned the win Thursday against the Rockies after tossing two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Webb made his first appearance since being recalled earlier this week and looked in complete control of the situation, tossing 18 of his 26 pitches for strikes and cruising his way through the middle innings after piggybacking Touki Toussaint's short three-inning outing. The right-hander has been up and down the big-league roster over the last few months, but he has not allowed a run in any of his last six appearances at this level.
