Webb (0-1) was charged with the loss in Monday's game against the Marlins after surrendering two runs (one earned) on three hits in the 10th inning.
EDGE Analysis
It did not take long for Webb to see some action after he was called up to the active roster Saturday. Unfortunately, Webb's first outing of 2021 was not great. The first three batters he faced notched hits against him, allowing the go-ahead runs to score. While he was able to retire the next three batters and limit the damage, he was still left with the loss. The 27-year-old has previously shown some ability to be a bullpen contributor, compiling a 1.06 ERA and 38:17 K:BB across 42.1 innings for Atlanta in 2019 and 2020.

Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb was called up Wednesday to serve as the 27th man for the doubleheader against the Nationals, and he'll remain in the major-league bullpen after Chris Martin (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Webb made eight relief appearances for Atlanta last year and tossed 10 scoreless innings while striking out 10.

Atlanta recalled Webb from its taxi squad ahead of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be designated as the 27th man for the twin bill, meaning he'll likely be removed from the active roster following the pair of games. Though Webb failed to win a spot on Atlanta's Opening Day roster, he's been effective through parts of two seasons in the big leagues, posting a 1.06 ERA across 42.1 career innings.

Atlanta optioned Webb to its alternate training site Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb's case for a spot in Atlanta's Opening Day bullpen appeared to be strong after he worked 10 scoreless innings over his eight appearances in 2020, but the fact that he has minor-league options remaining likely worked against him. Atlanta is evaluating non-roster invitees Carl Edwards and Nate Jones for spots in the bullpen, while two other relief candidates in Luke Jackson and Grant Dayton already possess 40-man roster spots but no longer have minor-league options.

The Braves reinstated Webb (shoulder) from the 45-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After completing his rehab for the strained right shoulder he suffered late in summer camp, Webb is finally ready to make his 2020 debut. The 27-year-old was a key cog in the late innings for Atlanta as a rookie last season, posting a 1.39 ERA while collecting two saves and nine holds across 36 appearances. Since he missed the first month and a half of the season, Webb could work mostly in lower-leverage situations initially as the Braves look to ease him back into the bullpen mix.

Webb was placed on the 45-day injured list with a right shoulder strain Tuesday, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb could have played a role in Atlanta's bullpen this season, as he produced a strong 1.39 ERA in his 32.1-inning debut last year, but he'll now be sidelined for at least the majority of the campaign. It's not clear when he's expected to return, but he won't be eligible to do so until early September.

Webb was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb posted a 1.39 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 32.1 innings for the Braves last season and appeared to have a promising chance to make the Opening Day roster, but he'll instead begin the season at Triple-A. The 26-year-old actually struggled at Gwinnett last year with a 6.97 ERA, so he'll look to get off to a better start in 2020.

Webb (elbow) will make his second appearance of the spring Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb missed the second half of last season with an elbow issue which eventually required arthroscopic surgery. While the Braves have been cautious with him early in camp, he should still have time to build up by Opening Day. He's so far faced just a single batter in Grapefruit League action.

Manager Brian Snitker said Webb (elbow) is healthy and throwing well during Braves camp, but the right-hander is still about a week away from being cleared for his Grapefruit League debut, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Snitker had similar comments about fellow reliever A.J. Minter (shoulder), who is being brought along slowly this spring after his 2019 season ended in early September due to injury, just as Webb's did. The delay in the two pitchers' schedules probably won't put either at risk of missing Opening Day, though the fact that both have minor-league options remaining could factor into Snitker's roster decisions. Webb seemingly has a better case for a spot in the Atlanta bullpen by virtue of his performance last season prior to requiring arthroscopic elbow surgery. Over his 36 appearances, Webb posted a 1.39 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB in 32.1 frames.

Webb (elbow) is throwing without any restrictions, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Webb is on track to be ready for the start of the 2020 season after missing the second half of the 2019 campaign with a right elbow impingement that ultimately required surgery. The 26-year-old should reprise his role in Atlanta's bullpen after posting a 1.39 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB across 32.1 innings last season.
