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.

Webb (elbow) is expected to be healthy in time for Opening Day, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb missed the second half of last season with a right elbow impingement that eventually required surgery. However, he should be recovered for the start of 2020, and he is expected to serve in the major-league bullpen after he was effective prior to his injury. The 26-year-old recorded a 1.39 ERA with a 28:12 K:BB over 36 appearances in 2019.

Webb (elbow) has been shut down from throwing, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday due to a right elbow impingement, so this news is unsurprising, considering his season is likely over. He'll need to be re-evaluated to determine the next step in his recovery process.

Webb was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett and placed on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow impingement.
EDGE Analysis
The move frees up a 40-man roster spot for Billy Hamilton, who was claimed off waivers. Webb is likely done for the season after logging a 1.39 ERA in 36 MLB appearances and a 6.97 ERA in 10 appearances at Triple-A.

Webb (elbow) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday and optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.
EDGE Analysis
Webb played two games with Gwinnett during rehab assignment his rehab assignment this week and he'll simply remain with the Stripers. The 25-year-old has a 1.39 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB through 32.1 major-league innings this season, so he figures to rejoin the Braves relatively quickly.

Webb (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with the Braves' Gulf Coast League affiliate on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb had initially hoped to return from his elbow impingement in the minimum 10 days, but he's already been out for two weeks. His target return date is not yet clear.
