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.

Webb was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Aug. 17, and he allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six in 3.2 innings across four minor-league appearances since then. However, he'll provide an extra arm in Atlanta's bullpen since active rosters expanded Wednesday. The right-hander will serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever since he has a 4.29 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 21 innings across 20 appearances with Atlanta in 2021.

Atlanta optioned Webb to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb's demotion clears a spot on the active roster for starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled outing Tuesday in Miami. During his four-day stint with the big club, Webb made two appearances out of the Atlanta bullpen, tossing a scoreless frame in both outings.

Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb has been passable enough in his 19 major-league innings this season, though his 4.74 ERA and 20.0 percent strikeout rate certainly won't lead to many high-leverage opportunities. He owns a far better 2.21 ERA in 20.1 frames for Triple-A Gwinnett, backed by a strong 34.1 percent strikeout rate. Kyle Muller was optioned in a corresponding move.

Webb was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Tuesday, and he allowed two hits and no walks while striking out one in two scoreless innings Wednesday. The right-hander will now return to the minors after Pablo Sandoval was reinstated from the restricted list Thursday.
